score dropped too much, fair or unfair??

I'm pretty sure he means that it shouldn't drop this much only because of 4 chapters. It's like the people forgot about the rest of the manga and only scored those 4, which is so unfair

It's almost like those last chapters quite literally throw away any development Aqua had and ruin the entire story for so many people. You know, just a thought. It didn't have to have a happy end but this sad ending was way too forced, everything was quite literally resolved already and Aqua killed himself for dramatic effect. They had every single piece to put Kamiki at least behind bars and they just didn't. People hate on it this much because it absolutely deserves it, since it doesn't make any sense whatsoever and quite literally contradicts any development Aqua had gone through prior to that. It's just very bad writing that ruins a most of the good before that.

Only 4? Ought to be 140 to me at least. And I'm surprised the score still hasn't dropped below 7.5 yet.

Kamiki's character wasn't built up to pose as much as a threat to justify that ending, and the last chapter was rushed as hell. The last chapter felt like some recap chapter, super undramatic and rushed, they should've showed us a good scene rather than just hurriedly show us what happened to the rest of the cast via some text boxes. Praying the anime does better.

It didn't drop enough, score deserves to be a lot lower because of that ending. One of the worst endings of all time in Anime and Manga history

How do you actually think SNK has worse ending than ONK? Snk was a bit bad but nowhere near Onk ending. Author did a pretty terrible job with the last arc but the ending was just shit on the cake at this point.

Akasaka-sensei did a similar mistake with kaguya-sama too but the Manga being a masterpiece covered it up imo. But Onk was very terrible

If anything it's still too high, the way it ended pretty much turned most of the story after the very beginning into filler. No character development really mattered and there are no pay-offs for the different character arcs. You could legit read like the first few volumes and then skip to the final one without missing anything that affected the ending.

Not only that but Aqua's "plan" was just plain stupid and made no sense on so many levels. People complained about parts of the final arc in Kaguya being dumb, but since it was a love-comedy it still gets a pass in my book, but as a self-titled more serious mystery that stuiff doesn't fly in OnK. In addition, most twists were just bait as they got never resolved and just served as cliff hangers to keep readers during serialization. In retrospeect just a super shallow series with a nonsensical ending that got hardcarried by great art.

Also no, I don't care whether it's a happy or unhappy ending, before anyone puts any words into my mouth...

The scores close to what I think it should be now, it was a great manga but man that ending was a letdown

I absolutely agree that it had PHENOMENAL arcs, I still look at it fondly but you can’t deny the fact that the ending was rushed and was a huge letdown for a series that was as good as it was all the way through. Thats’s why I don’t think it deserves anything more than an 8. That being said 8’s still an awesome score it’s just not a masterpiece score you know what I mean?

@Blahos no because a lot of people dropped when aqua and ruby kissed and yes the ending was bad but it wasnt forced and didnt ruined the whole show

it was always clear that aqua wanted to die and that he would die at the end, just the way he died it was rushed

I'd rate it 3 or 4 if not for the earlier chapters.

@Murilowsky Aqua straight up didn't want to die towards the end though, did you even read the entire thing? There was a huge character arc with him actually starting to live and wanting to do so, that's all the development, which was completely thrown out of the window. I'm now convinced that you just have media literacy of a dead seal if you didn't notice that... The ending was absolutely forced, they could've easily gotten Kamiki locked up (they even mention that everything was done in the manga itself), neither of them had to die pointlessly like this. It absolutely does ruin the entire MC and it has next to no consequences except for a few panels at the funeral. It's a terrible ending that literally shits on the most important character development that occured during its entirety...

I had it as a 9 before reading the ending but I had to drop it to an 8 just out of respect for what everything was before the ending. I’ve never hated an ending more, but it was just so peak before it happened 😢

@Blahos i said that i agree - i dont think it ruined aqua development at all tho because even he wanting to live was kinda sudden too, but was a good development but thats my opinion as a fan i guess - and even with all u said shouldnt be this bad the score, thats what i am talking about
