...what the heck did i just read. x_x

I didn't think the ending was that bad, but I definitely thought the build up to the end could have been done alot better. For the most part if felt like the main story was stretched so as to allow more chapters, a la the "nightmare of the week" scenario. And alot of the characters actions does not seem to have been well thought out in relation to the story.
But overall, I think it wasn't really about the story as much as the "is this going to be a yuri or yaoi" meme that was more fascinating to the readers? :D

In the end they were in the purgatory or something that way...I don't know it was a weird end

I absolutely adored it! No one could ever have guessed how it would end. (Unless you are japanese and you actually got the bird in the cage references.) I really hope to get other people interested in this manga, because I'm sure even a straight guy could manage to stomach 'two guys' kissing for the sake of this intriguing plot.

Wow.. really nice! Nice ending.. though i was a little afraid that the romantic connection would be lost in those final pages!
But yeah.. i was like WTF.. throughout the whole chapters!

so the one girl who dissappeared without graduating, was the on one who was miscarried, huh

but were the problems they were trying to solve the ones of their previous life, or something that awaits them when they're going to live?

SPOILERS

yes.. basically she wasn't strong enough to be born (if that makes any sense to you)...

i think the class was a kind of a test, to see who was strong enough to be alive/born (remember the part where the nurse asks ichigo if she/he has any recollection or memory of the past, before she had her first period.. and she realizes that she doesn't)

just thought that some of the ones who graduated did it to run away from their problems, and at the other side: surprise surprise the very same awaits you here with armes wide open, no wonder i had a uneasy feeling watching 'em going through the door (even when not knowing whats behind it)
AND it kind of has the message if you're able to kill other in order to get the key you're strong enough to enter life. Oh well, its not like i thought infants actually were as inocent as everyone assumes..



i kind of thought it was the easiest way to let her start of with the way of thinking she had towards herself (honestly it seemed to me when she had her first period it was also the first time she noticed there was something missing down there to make her a real man)

ATTENTION, SPOILERS!

There were never two guys kissing. And there were no lesbians or gays in this manga at all. Kureha loves Mashiro for being a guy, Sou loved Mashiro for being a girl and Mashiro himself wasn't sure he was a guy or a girl. This whole manga was about a fictionized way of showing what it looks like for a child who's gender isn't know yet to pick one up. As we see in the beginning of the manga, the mother asks the doctor whether she'll have a son or daughter, the doctor says "well...", at that point, time stops, we get 10 volumes of After School Nightmare, and at the end time continues "...you're having a daughter". It was brilliant IMO. Really love this manga ^^ (and I'm a guy)

Hoho this was a pretty interesting manga.
I'd have given it 8+ if the story would have actually had any influence on the ending. I think that 10 volumes is too much in order to create a relationship, pull an "it was all a dream" sort of ending and mislead us.

I really liked the ending to this manga, I actually guessed what was behind the door, but i wasnt sure and the hypothesis was vauge :P, i think this story was a bit long though, in the middle i was starting to get the feel of: why the hell are we watching another dream where nothing happens?. But all in all that was the only thing that let the manga down. This is the one of the most unique endings i have come across so far (that i enjoyed some are unique but crap) haha i was getting anixious when i thought every one else wouldnt be "born".
