So I was right all along. I was already expecting it to end with him confessing to chihiro. yay xD

Heh, the next chapter should be fun it's just the right sum of suspension. Its finally Chihiro's moment of power :P. I would love to see him get rejected and start his last conquest with the other girls being hindrances :P. As usually it will be an open ending...

YES. I was shipping either Chihiro or Tenri. Sad that Tenri wont get Keima at the end but Chihiro... Chihiro... YESSS

Is it true next chapter is the last one? Gonna miss this.

Agree with everyone though, these last chapters are quite rushed.

Chihiro? Are you kidding me? -1 from the score for that. And I though Elsie suddenly getting so attached to Keima with pretty much no bonding or anything signaling it before was pulled out of someone's ass...

What are you on about? Elsie has always been very attached to Keima

Also like someone in the Batoto comments posted Elsie finally became a true little sister fulfilling the BMW that Keima set out.

I agree that it has been a bit rushed...but its pretty easy to tell what happened...The Goddesses defeated Elsie and were able to grant her wish of always being by Keima's side. I was expecting a bigger battle though...

But a Chihiro ending?! I didn't expect him to end up with anyone! Seeing as how Chihiro and Keima are my OTP of this series, I couldn't be happier...Too bad its ending so soon. But, I hope the conclusion will have a considerable amount of weight to it!

Okay, nobody saw this coming.


Nope I knew Chihiro would be the final girl ever since the rooftop scene and the concert. I thought it was kinda obvious. And there are others who saw it too.

But I think Chihiro would reject him because of what he did to her. They will still be friends and continue from there. The ending won't show them being together straight away.

As much as I didn't want a Chihiro ending it I understand why the author would choose this ending since the ending of the goddess arc and the inner conflict Keima faces throughout the jupiter arc leads to this. Would have loved to have more chapters explaining the aftermath with all the characters, but overall I'm really satisfied with the series and hope the final chapter can conclude this series nicely! Never expected this manga to take such a deep turn in terms of story from the beginning when I first read it.

It is rushed, it's the truth. But I saw this coming,The Goddess Host completely forgot about all that happened and Elsie's existence altered. A Chihiro ending would be the best ending IMO, she's the most humane charcter in the series. I think they will officially be couple on the next chapter.

I think it is a suitable ending. The point of Keima's quest was to finish the quest fast so that he could go back to his games. He accomplished it and got out of it with a richer experience to life.

I am happy he found something else in life than games: Chihiro. You should be happy for him.

FEELS OVERLOAD!
The Elsie choosing what she really wants, and the Keima confessing to the one he really loved.
It doesn't need to be slower as an ending because miracles happens very fast.
Just feels...I've been following this manga for 5 years of my life (okay maybe less but you get the point) and I've never felt so good after and ending.

GOD YES!! Chihiro ftw!

She's the only one who truly loved Keima before he pulled off any of his power moves. This was destined to be the ending. Now, I'm wondering if she's remembered anything at all of what has happened in the past. I'm assuming that her memory might be cleared as well. So, then this will be the start of the "new game" for Katsuragi. The courting and creating of a true relationship with Chihiro. And I feel like starting from the beginning is just what Keima truly wants.

I don't mind the Chihiro ending, being sort of a fan myself..
But I feel bad for Tenri.. I mean, all that development and devotion to Keima's plan.. And this happens. I mean, I just hope there's some closure between the two of them, cause it's just too sad thinking that nothing came out of what she did besides saving the world.

And the whole fact that Haqua and Nora don't remember Elsie is also painful.
That friendship they built, and it's gone.

I don't mind how things turned out but all the sacrifices made for the ending was painful to realize.

*EDIT* Oh come on, how come no one mentions Elise doing Keima's catch phrase near the end?

While I like Tenri more I wanted Keima to end up with Chihiro. Rushed indeed though.

Also lol at people so upset at this that they're claiming Chihiro is an unimportant side character. She is what allowed Keima to move forward and come closer to reality. Being a normal girl and having had that much impact on him it's most fitting that he ended up with her if he had to end up with anyone.

It sure has been one joyful journey, but i'm left a bit unsatisfied by this whole ordeal with time and i don't see how it was a necessity for the overall story be connected in such a way.
Something about this just feel out of place and was kind of made needlessly complicated for reasons that has yet to be explained in full detail and i just going around in circles without any satisfying results.

Good chapter. Now Elsie is officially Keima sister named Eri :D. The confessing was expected because final chapter of Godess arc he did say my first love about Chihiro. Why MAL says 271 while the chapter says next week is the final chapter.

As far as i can remember, this was probably the first time i raised my arms and shouted triumphantly in front of my monitor. Two major wins in this chapter : Elsie survived and became a legit cute little sister, and of course Chihiro! FUCK YES!!

Now i hope Keima wasn't joking or pulling another trick on Chihiro. And if he's serious about the confession, i do hope that Chihiro will accept it. Btw, what about Tenri? Before i read this chapter, i was pretty sure that she has the biggest chance to win.

Kinda sad that Haqua couldn't remember Elsie anymore, but that's for the best. I'm ready for the next chapter. Thank you, Wakaki Sensei <3

I am still hesitant to sound the victory siren on Chihiro, considering the author could pull some serious troll shit next chapter. But if Chihiro did indeed win, well slap my ass and call me sally, my favorite girl actually pulled a come from behind victory. I'll give the manga a 7 though. Even with this favorable development for me I still think the ending has been really rushed and the past arc was AWFUL. It never got backed to the level of intensity and tension I felt during the goddess arc. That shit was gold.

I feel like all the girls' memories were erased, and Chihiro was picked as the "end" girl because she was the only one who truly loved Keima before all this started. Also, Elsie wasn't picked because she's more of a sister (Well she IS his sister now) than a romantic interest.

SCREW THIS. Why is it that every f***ing time they have to choose the worst girl from the cast?! ANYONE would be better, and they just HAD TO go and choose Chihiro. BECAUSE DULL AND BORING GIRLS WIN.

Ironic, considering that Chihiro was the very embodiment of everything Keima hated in 2D. Oh, but she fell in love with him, so automatically that makes him fall in love with her. Because that's how it's supposed to work.

SCREW YOU GUYS.

F*** YESSSS!! I thought it must be like this but didn't believe it would. The final panels of the Goddess arc prompted this outcome, but to think the mangaka did really have guts to do it.

Some real surprise might come with the final chapter, though.

Anyway, excellent series, despite the last arc being not that good. It was really a nice ride.

What a disappointing ending of a good manga. It went downhill since it reached its peak with goddesses arc. Just another example that Japanese authors have giant problems to close their stories well.


You mean one of the best arc in the entire series that turned most inconsistencies into something that actually make sense as well as having a lot of important development to flesh out how the characters changed through the story is an example of something that went downhill?

What the fuck were you reading?

There's a clear difference between a manga that get purposely dragged on and something that was well made and probably thought out since the very beginning.

Now about where the ending is going I can only say that it feel terribly rushed and that's the only problem I have with it. It's sad that Wakaki doesn't have the time to write a proper ending for it but I'll turn a blind eye on this since he wrote such a good manga in a consistent fashion for years.

I dunno if this is just me, but I'm still left confused by the whole Elsie thing these last 2 chapters. But...I am a massive Chihiro fan!!! Soooooooo happy with this ending :D (hoping this chapter wasn't a curve-ball). My reasoning for liking Chihiro is that she loves Keima without being 'manipulated' via a capture (possible exception of Tenri). She loves him for being himself.

I was rooting for Ayumi because of that awesome proposal but as much as I hate to say this, Chihiro ending is a little weird because of her lack of development recently even though I really did like her arc. What I was expecting was open-ended Elsie ending>Tenri ending?>Ayumi ending but I guess author was going back to ch189.

This guy is pretty good at rom-com, I been following this since first chapter. How should I put it, the way he weave story and characters back to back is refreshing. The comical tone setting in-spite of heavy narration was ideal too.

So, I wait for his next work in anticipation.
