There's gonna be some extras that take place after 260. It's confirmed in seo's twitter. Hopefully we'll get some insight on the characters


An extra of Haruto divorcing Yuzuki and going Hikikomori with the helmet accompanying on his new journey. That will be worth reading for a good laugh.

If it is just like Suzuka, I doubt spider will get his insight on the job hunting girl and the lesbian chick. Most likely, he will copy from "Suzuka" and make it about a trip to Hirishima, to the town where haruto lived.


good insight but i was mostly talking about important characters like rin and asuka because rin did bring haruto and yuzuki together, mentally tortured the for years, and even formed a bond with haruto and even fell for him. also, asuka WAS the ex girlfriend so i am expecting a conversation between the two followed by an obvious kiss from her because you know how girls in anime are espically romance in general but mostly ones in the western media.

also, i think it's more of a proposal story since the picture shows yuzuki crying.

also, things are going real down and dirty in this weeks fantasy chapter:

after all this, and i know you're all sick of it but this is just my way of praying more likely, i hope we get an amagami ss version. i hope we get rin first because i am a big fan of the psychological genre and also because rin and haruto had better interactions with eachother than yuzuki and some of the other girl IMO so seeing her messing with haruto like emiru did with kido in nozoki ana would be quite an insight and will definitely take like alot of chapters to finish. i would also like to see how they handled themselves in their married lives.

I just find it weird, how somebody who was complaining for story with a more depth meaning, is asking for Amagami SS version of KNIM. What was so depth in meaning from Amagami SS. Anyway, I think I said it before, but doing Amagami SS version of KNIM would just completely ruin it. There is nothing more satisfying than having only one ending, despite if your favorite character lost or won at the end.
Even for the games of same genre as Amagami, there is something call the True ending.
Could you imagine how pointless it would have been raging for the entire manga only to have multiple endings.
Fantasy chapters are fine, just like the title says they are fantasies. There is no reason for them to have a backstory of how they got to that point. You can fantasize about that if you really need a backstory.
Anyway, F..k KNIM, I believe is time for me to let go of this manga and continue with the next one. This should be my last post in KNIM.

well reason being that the characters from KNIM were far more interesting and yuzuki seemed kinda downplay eversince her situation with her father and yet some of the side characters were written surprisingly well with the exception of yuzuki and haruto and while haruto has been stale due to the horrible writing it would be fun and interesting to see how he develops his relationships with each girls based on their personalities. i mean come on. in the fantasy chapter with rin you have to admit that with the fact that he's dating her and is living with him does need some kind of explanation as well as how harto and akari got together when it shows that it has the same history as the manga which shows chapters 79 and 186 and the fact that takashi is still married to kiyomi and still has a child so something must've happened between him and yuzuki and with the way their relationship went it does bring alot of curiouslity. heck, i was also interested in finding out how haruto developed his relationship with shiho. nanami is not much of a question but it would be nice to see how they went through with this as a couple because like i said she seems interesting. that and it is possibly better than dating some childlike 20 year old. and i know a bunch of people used some alternate routes with asuka in fan fics but it would be curious how seo would pull it off considering that ediotrs will make him do the amagami ss version or whatever. also, i know you'll love to see the fantasy chapter with adfachi as much as i do and we all know that'll be coming consdering nagato and nagaoshi got theirs, it would be good to see them develop their relationship as well. if they even decide to do it without yuzuki in the picture then i wonder how he'll be able to meet asuka and rin and more likely adachi? eh, haruto would probably meet asuka and adachi in his college years. still, it would be quite interesting to see him and rin in their high school years because you can pull so much tnesion in high school.

i know you're sick of me repeating my wants for that version hut i'd thought i'd give my 2 cents

spoilers for fuuka chapter 2:

We get some fanservice from Seo-sensei. So look forward to the siblings underwear guys!! Yuu starts school and is pretty timid. Barely speaks and already starts to get teased. Fuuka is in the same class and uses his photo "shoots" to get him to start talking. After this some people ask to get his number but he forgot his phone at home and couldn't give anyone his details. He starts to beat himself up and when he goes home FUuka stops him. They go to a CD shop together to get some "Usamune" straps that you can only get when you're in a couple so she has him pretend to be her boyfriend. They hold hands and he says that it was a big deal. They get two straps and she forces the second one onto Yuu ambiguously saying that she doesn't know if they're dating yet. Yuu gets home and FINALLY checks twitter to find a message and a picture of her eye from a girl asking if he remembers her.

-The end

Well I think most of us can agree here that KNIM had to much BS but I can honestly say I will miss it though I been reading it for like 3 years almost every week oh well everything ends eventually and that ending even though it was ok it seemed rushed in my OP they could have done better.

Ah, unlike most others, I started reaching Kimi no Iru Machi pretty much when it finished. Basically, I had all 261 chapters at the tip of my fingers.

And let me tell you... man was this a ride. There were times where I just sat in one place for hours to read this manga; that's how much I wanted to know what would happen next. The drama was great, the characters were great, but there were some moments throughout the manga that felt stale.

However, I can't really say I didn't enjoy reading about Haruto and Yuzuki's peaceful love life. It's funny, because when all the drama was going on, I was thinking "When can I just read a peaceful story?". And when it all ends, I feel a bit bored.

It's not perfect, but the fact that I enjoyed reading Kimi no Iru Machi makes Kimi no Iru Machi a masterpiece creation by Seo Kouji.

i still feel like this ending wasn't even accomplished since we don't even know what the characters went through, rin and asuka never shared any scenes with haruto in the final arc since two of them are important to him, and haruto finally got his dream wish he should've done in the first place. also, they haven't learned squat in their own adventures. they just get rewarded with BS.

also, daiki is gonna fail in life since we know who haruto and yuzuki are. i hope his guardians help him through this.

Basically no one was important in the last arc besides the two MCs. That doesn't mean we don't need closure for the most important supporting characters. Asuka and Rin were important during the span of the story.
They were more important than Kiyomi, and I would argue on the same level of importance than Takashi and Akari, who all had their case closed correctly.

I don't feel we've had enough of a conclusion for those two

Nah...Akari and Takashi had the childhood-friend bonus. The meaning of what Akari said to Haruto about his relationship with Yuzuki was more meaningful in my opinion, because she knew both of them for so long. Their were introduced as a Trio. and Seo brought it up again at the end. There is nothing wrong with it, I guess.

what akari said back in chapter 258 was just predictable as crap. this why we wanted seo to troll us in the final chapter. *sigh* if this wasn't a shounen we would've been getting these no matter if it's either good or bad that the series would be getting:

haruto having se with asuka in the love hotel

lack of trolling

not having the cheap ways like him breaking up with asuka because yuzuki says she loves him and forces him to be with her if she doesn't move o another place or all of that LDR nonsence.

unpredicatble and original ending or just a sad enbding.


seriously, seo definitely owes us all big time

i don't see how you can give these a free pass. i know it's opinions and all but with everything that happened i'd imagine you'd be quite mad. it's also a shame how one person compared GotW with it's slow pace and repetitive bullying story to KNIM. again i know it's opinions but it just feels insulting how a good manwha ha sto be compared to a souless manga

I just don't care so much about awkward side-characters as others. The main story got a conclusion. Not everyone liked it at first, but it wasn't so bad as you described it, Spider.
Your main problem is you place characters like Asuka and so on in a higher position they desere
and are upset about the story, because it focus on the main-characters, which you just don't like.
Yes, it would be nice if we could see more of all characters, but that's maybe something for an Omake.
The story of KNIM had a few good rudiments and that's something we shouldn't belittle.

all the manga showed was just some poitnless fillers, trolling, and some not well written moments of yuzuki and haruto. i mean we saw cats, crab bras, job hunting girl, slutty coworker, pointless LDR nonscence, rin's slave never to be seen again, time skipping, chisa having a crush on haruto, and haruto and yuzuki being knuckleheads. the important things we are missing are:

more of nanami

nanami's relationship with fujikawa because we don't know anything about the kid and he just seems to young to date someone like her

how asuka is doing

how akari is doing

takashi's relationship with kiyomi

how rin is doing

how that red headed lesbo is doing

how that slave of rin is doing

you think i ndon't have a right to express my feeling about this manga? from time to time again haruto and yuzuki have provedn to be irredeemable characters who get rewarded for bullshit. at least in suzuka the characters learn from their mistakes and grow and despite yamato getting beaten(even beaten up) by arima again and again at least he still has the ones who are closest to him. hopefully yu won't suffer the same fate because most people are starting to dislike the character.

i really think she's with anoher person given her history she really love to swing alot,
thank god she is not her teenage personality i finally starting to less hate her
in the past i pretty much her her in that time she getting lovely dove with kanzaki even haruto already show some spirit,
less hate her with kazama understand pity date,
but spending the last of her days with kanzaki men thats just a bullshit(rage) special she show different side of her,(you only suppose to show that on the person you love,on that part im starting to think does she really like haruto?) that hurt so bad from a guy perspective knowing that she like you 2

Hmm, I hated Kazuma. Kazuma was a plot device to add more drama to the story. Asuka was just a filler. Her role was to keep Yuzuki's seat warm. A lot of people could have seen that one coming. If it wasn't for Kazuma, the manga would have ended way sooner. Haruto and Yuzuki is way too compatible. The other characters are just there really, I would had loved to see more of Rin.

I rather have a spinoff with Rin than Fuuka.

That was a satisfying ending. One of few anime/manga that I've enjoyed in a while. Wow. I just can't fathom that it's done.

I was still expecting it to be til 270, guess this site caught me off guard. But I still can't believe it's over, though I really like how it ended up. 8/10

Getting married is the last step in a relationship. I mean of all moments everything will end up like that. Well that's for me I like the series anyway

I started reading this series when it first game out, and I was a avid reader until about chapter 170-ish. Then I went through a 1-2 year hiatus on all manga/anime due to laziness and personal life reasons.

I've only just come back to anime/manga recently and I had forgotten about this gem which was my highlight of every week. Reading this series every week gave me so much joy, sadness, pain, laughter. I just couldn't get enough.

So I started re-reading this from chapter one, so that I could immerse myself into it once more. Binge read the entire series in two days. I'm honestly really glad I was able to read it all in two days instead of once a week for five years.

I was browsing through the forums on certain episodes and I was really confused about all the hate KNiM got from various long-time readers and people who just started. I could understand if you didn't like it from the beginning, but for those who kept on reading and raging were the ones that really confused me?

It's understandable to be sad or angry that SJ is not writing it the way you would have preferred, but as I too might have felt feelings similar to you own I was able to accept it because it's the Mangaka's world. We are only the observer(s).

There's no way he could write it so that everyone would enjoy it, but he told his story the way that he wanted to do it. I respect it. I love it. I'm still in that bliss feeling after finishing KNiM about five hours again. I've had thought like " I wish this would have never ended " or " If only he had added a couple more chapters or at least held out until chapter xxx ".

I'm actually really happy about all the people who flamed and raged because it just shows how much SJ's work had of an effect on you. That's probably one of the artists greatest feelings. To be able to unite people across the world in discussion about it every week. If I was the artist I would be overwhelmed even if it was negative remarks because I would have known that you took my work into your heart and were able to express it freely.

I admittedly cried for about an hour after I finished reading because I had so many emotions running through me heart and soul. I guess it was because I could connect because I am in a long distance relationship as well because I am finishing my masters in another state from my fiance.

I thought the ending was quite fair, slightly rushed in my opinion. I think he would have been able to put a couple filler chapters in between ch 260-261 about those 1.5 years that was skipped. Sure we get small amounts of information such as Takashi and Kiyomi's second child, but I would have preferred to know more information in that time period. Oh well, I'm still very impressed and very happy about the overall end chapter.

10/10. Yes. 10/10. Through everything. Hiroshima. Tokyo. Kazama. Kochi. All of it.

I know the theme of this story is separation and shit, but the last few chapters were so fucking unessecary, especially when the mangaka suddenly pulls a 'everything is suddenly perfect' ending. At least I marathoned this series in three days, so I can still remember the manga before non random girl filler stuff came. 7/10 cause the beginning was so good

Talk about a rushed ending. Thoroughly enjoyed the series. It fell a little stale during the Job arc, but that was fine. I'm a sucker for happy endings. Pointless breakup tbh. I wanted him to leave his job and let Yuzuki follow her dream as a teacher since he had no real emotinoal connection to his job. Shoulda became a chef from the beginning.

I thoroughly enjoyed it up until the job arc, but since I'm a sucker for happy endings I was pleased. He had a pointless breakup and should have just left his job in the beginning and let Yuzuki pursue her dreams as a teacher even if it meant giving up his job. He knew he wasn't passionate about his own job, and since Yuzuki loved hers he should have dropped his in order to follow her. Pointless drama.

Rushed ending as well. Akari had a more meaningful wedding (it had feels to it).

Gonna drop this here, but seeing the side bitches move on and find their own loves is a bit ... empty? While I understand that they need to move on, it always seems that their love with the MC is always stronger than the love they've found currently.

Btw Asuka ftw. I was yelling "side bitch ftw" when he started dating her. Haven't seen a couple more perfect and laid-back. Sure, Yuzuki is his true love, but Asuka's relationship with MC was very compatible.

But if series can carry atmosphere and intensive like first 140 chapters I'll give it 9/10

I really like a countryside atmosphere of early series too.

Sorry I have been harsh on this manga and Seo. I think I was mad that he paired haruto with yuzuki, who by god is a very annoying character in this series it's sad to see other girls get rejected for someone like her.....poor asuka:( and Akari :(.

Anyway, after retreading the manga again and again and learn more about storytelling and true honest to God feelings I feel like I should give the manga an 8 or a 7. To be honest from the beginning this manga got me even more inspired to slice of life, drama, and romance. The story is more human and natural, it gets people and its truely one of those mangas that inspires you with the exception of the romance because of the main character picking the wrong girl:( it's pretty much the reason why Seo kouji is like my second favorite mangaka. He's like hajime isayama, echido oda, iwahara yuji, and that guy who brought us aku no hana. Sorry for all the crap I said about you but I hope you can improve your writing.

That ending caught me by surprise. I thought it was going to end on chapter 270. 7/10 overall the first few chapters were 10/10. Probably up until Kazama died maybe a bit further.

It was mainly filler from 170-240 but this manga was really enjoyable!

I really enjoyed the happy ending. The breakup when they moved away was understandable since they were important to each other so much but their jobs were also important. I'm glad Yuzuki waited for Haruto in the end, that makes it the perfect end :D
