How did this end?

Story/Character wise, there is alot of wasted potential, since the author rushed the last arc, but it has a conclusion more or less

also, the mc is pretty much aromantic/asexual.

from an interview:

"In my mind, Oga is a boy mentally at the age of 11 years old and will stay at this stage for the rest of his life. I do not imagine that he will one day develop a romantic relationship. Ultimately, he will be with no one. The only human contact he appreciates in the end is his fist in the face of another boy."

Can the interview be found anywhere in english? Also, what you just quoted really doesnt sit well with me. In sort, that makes Oga retarded (or some other more complex and accurate term) and incapable of living a normal life as an adult? Wtf is this, he will be at some point a 40 year old who instead of having any interest for a romantic relationship or something we will be interested in what 11 year olds are? Maybe in his next interview the mangaka will tell us he is even incapable to get his dick hard because of lack of hormones or something? Wtf is up with, this felt like a punch in the stomach, just like when he axed the manga, is he fucking with his fans or what? Him not being able to get more mature than a 11 year old is even contradictory with his natural born father persona but that is the least of it. Apparently the author wanted to settle that this wont continue and not making a proper conclusion is fine by announcing that the main character is a lost cause anyway?

That was harsh. I think what the author was implying is that the manga was never meant to be romantically serious and the author stuck with this in mind. It's not like he expected it to go beyond high school life.
