    Well… I guess it’s official now. The ending does indeed suck.

    Ah well… the journey was still great, even if the destination turned out to be some sort of vague, formless, disappointing whatever.

      Same here.

      The mangaka spent all that time running up tragedy flags, with all the stuff about the rules for vampires, but left an out with the fact that neither one of them is normal - she’s a hybrid and he has this weird half-vampire thing - so maybe the rules wouldn’t apply to them. And that’s what it all seemed to be coming down to - would it end tragically or joyously?

      But then they just sort of blithely threw all of that setup out the window, and instead drfted off into… whatever the hell this has been.

      There were really only two things of note here - his statement that he’d track her down no matter what, and her reference to him as “the man I love.” But those are just flags. They just imply something for the future. It’s not an actual resolution to the story - it’s just something that sort of points in the general direction of something that might be a resolution.

      It was such a good series. It deserved better than this.

    A manga about vampires and the ending sucks, how fitting! This is one of those cases where the satisfying journey makes up for the lame destination. I will take a fizzle out ending any day over one that is so bad it retroactively taints the whole story.

      Agreed.

      I’m disappointed, but it could’ve been much, much worse. It’s just disappointingly meh.

    I was looking for a much better ending than that :/

    So frustrating… Or is it just to make the readers feel like the protagonists? In which case, it’s brilliant!

    Nah, just a frustrating end to a great journey
