I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Good,Can't wait till Wednesday ! |
 |
| Misaki finally showed her friends she was a Maid. :) Maid's at school? :O Misaki and friends graduated. :) Miksaki went to collage. 10 year time skip? Misaki all grown up was surprising. I didn't like her haircut. :'( They got married!! ♥ :'D Happy End. Great 3 years of reading, Still one of my all time fave mangas. Most people think it was overrated and cliche, but who cares. I loved every moment of Maid-sama! :D Will be missed! ; A ; / I would love to see Misaki and Usui's family, but oh well. |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| >Be my maid Cute ending with the wedding even though I found it somewhat predictable. Whoa, so that's what they look 10 years after the time skip. :O 7/10. Cute series overall. Maybe there will be a season 2 to anime this... |
 |
| Wow, that was an exceptionally satisfying chapter, solidifying itself as one of the best conclusions to a shoujo that I‘ve read. Despite the predictably rushed nature of this chapter, and the entire arc, for that matter, Fujiwara impressively weaved a plethora of characters and narrative resolutions into a consistently compelling tapestry. Most importantly, Usui and Misaki’s growth throughout this chapter was, as always, masterfully executed, as their lives have become inexorably entwined, profoundly illustrated by their beautiful wedding and the thematic accentuation of an enduring happiness that will undoubtedly span the rest of their lives. Rather than faltering into an uninteresting and lengthy focus on the tedium of Misaki’s revelation to Seika, this chapter, instead, only momentarily touched on Seika’s general acceptance of her, Misaki and Usui’s graduation, and the romantically poignant preparation for their temporary separation. This, of course, was a necessary rapidity, since their youthful preoccupations had been gradually fading since Usui’s proposal. Though Fujiwara could have easily explored the finality of their lives at Seika throughout the majority of the chapter prior to a momentary time-skip that merely provided a glimpse of their future together, this mediocrity would have been an unnecessarily conventional and uneventful conclusion to Usui and Misaki’s relationship. As such, Usui and Misaki’s wedding was wonderfully satisfying, highlighted by their final kiss, which is, by far, one of my favorite moments in the entirety of the story, partially due to it’s romantic significance, but also to how exquisitely drawn it is. I was pleasantly surprised by their individual occupations, since both thoroughly complement their personalities, particularly Misaki’s, and though the ten-year wait prior to marriage was a bit unexpected and somewhat excessive, it allowed for Misaki to properly attain her dream of confidently existing alongside Usui in England, displaying, once again, the substantial strength within their relationship. The occasional moments of brief, yet insightful, exploration into the future relationships and careers for the majority of the secondary characters were handled quite well. Several of these were especially intriguing, notably Sakura’s relationship and children with Kuuga, Aoi’s career as a fashion designer living in Paris (with Honoka as a girlfriend, no less), and, in particular, Hinata and Suzuna’s marriage. Yuu’s appearance, which I had been anticipating since the beginning of the Walker Family arc, was far too restrained, since, due to attending the wedding, I would have expected him to have a conversation with Usui, at the very least. However, the melancholic words he spoke to Patricia were quite touching, which served as a decent, albeit incomplete resolution for his character. Hopefully these largely underutilized supporting characters and their individual stories can receive more significant focus in a volume of extra chapters, concluding with, of course, an epilogue for Misaki and Usui, possibly as parents. As a whole, Kaichou was typically great, but also quite disappointingly flawed. The noticeable inconsistency within the story was the most detrimental aspect, as, worst of all, the narrative was effectively fragmented into two thoroughly disparate halves. As such, the first fifty seven chapters were beautifully written and considerably well-paced, largely devoid of the ridiculous cliches and needlessly contrived dramatics that typically plague this particular genre. Though several flaws occasionally slipped through, they rarely, if ever, detracted from the quality of the story or, in particular, it‘s characters. Most impressively, Usui and Misaki’s romance developed perfectly, touching on a myriad of subtle emotions throughout, culminating with the fifty-seventh chapter, which was easily the storytelling pinnacle of the manga. Unfortunately, following this chapter, the story gradually deteriorated into a banal mediocrity, and, though Usui and Misaki’s relationship never faltered, it was the sole aspect of the latter half that wasn’t disappointing in some fashion. Essentially, a highly effective balance was lost, as the story shifted towards a reliance on shoujo conventions and a bizarrely misplaced elevation of drama. These flaws were blatantly evident and extensive in the Walker family arc and the return of Misaki’s father. The majority of the final arc, however, was a welcome return to the enjoyably lighthearted and sweetly romantic nature of the first half, while a newfound maturity was filtered into Usui and Misaki’s interactions. The final chapter appropriately focused on a litany of these complex aspects in a very nuanced manner, deftly composing each element of Usui and Misaki’s relationship into an immensely satisfying whole. Another particularly notable flaw was the absence of a female rival. Due to the laughably uninteresting and meaningless prevalence of Hinata and Tora as “rivals” throughout significant portions of the story, along with Aoi and Maria’s romantic affections toward Misaki, it should have been an inevitability, as it would have improved this terribly unimaginative aspect of the narrative immensely. This partial exclusion, though not altogether detrimental, since I typically loathe that it seemingly infests every single shoujo, is ridiculously unrealistic here, since Usui is considerably more popular than even Misaki at Seika. As long as Fujiwara mistakenly sought to adhere to the conventions within this genre, particularly in the latter half, an admirer of Usui’s would have complemented and likely benefited the thoroughly jarring inclusion of horribly executed “triangles”. The absence of a female complication only accentuates the realization that Misaki’s story, though largely well-written, possesses far too many fantasy shoujo elements, which consistently weakens the effectiveness of the story as a whole. As such, these flawed tendencies restrained the secondary characters from experiencing natural development throughout the majority of the story, only allowing an insightful evolution within each character’s maturation if it was capable of being woven into Misaki’s narrative. As a result, the supporting characters often became isolated to the periphery, as though they solely existed in order to intermittently interact with Misaki, which is a needlessly constricting narrative device. To further illustrate this particular criticism, Sakura‘s most significant focus and development occurred in a brief side story. Hinata, most egregiously, rather than realistically transitioning past his love for Misaki so that he could begin to realize mutual feelings for Suzuna, this inevitable and compelling development was unnecessarily relegated to several pages in the final arc, in which it was merely established as a potential development in the 81st and then momentarily concluded, albeit satisfyingly, in the 85th. Essentially, the quality of the story would have noticeably improved if Hinata had simply started to develop a relationship with Suzuna towards the fiftieth chapter, rather than still desperately clinging to his feelings for Misaki prior to Misaki “rescuing” Usui from England. All in all, Kaichou concludes as a rather enjoyable and occasionally great shoujo, moderately tarnished by a second half that was, for the most part, consistently uninspired and lifeless, weakened even further by several characters that would have greatly benefited the story had they been excluded altogether. However, despite these significant criticisms, it possessed one of my favorite relationships in manga, and, though Misaki was often exaggeratedly stubborn, especially towards her father, she was a refreshingly strong heroine, complemented greatly by Usui. As for the superb final chapter, the last page was a fantastic note to conclude the manga on, particularly the image of Usui and Misaki on Usui‘s cellphone and the farewell imagery of Usui and Misaki in wedding attire surrounded by their friends, both of which were beautifully nostalgic, as these illustrations deftly conveyed the breadth of Usui and Misaki’s romance, reflecting on their youth, while also foreshadowing the happiness of their future. Hopefully Fujiwara improves and succeeds with her next work, though it’s unlikely to feature a relationship as endearingly written and beautiful as Usui and Misaki’s. A reasonably satisfying 7/10 for me. |

| Can anyone tell me why MAL has its ending as 98? Isnt 85 the last chapter? |

Llght said: So who was You-kun talking to in the garden when he got lost? Was it her dad? I think it was Usui's dad ,Misaki's dad was at the weeding. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the General Forum Guidelines. |
| I absolutely loved this ending, Misaki and Usui finally got married after 10 years! |
| Ending was good but Misaki always leaving for her job makes me think she could end up like Takumi Usui mom by have an affair( I know misaki would never ever do that but the similarities are to close) Chapter 9/10 Series 8/10 Also did Takumi and misaki sleep together before the wedding or did they wait 10 years to do so? |
| It's over. T_T. Such a long journey. I loved the ending so much, they finally got married, but the side characters got together too. T_T Too much. GAHHHH T_T. Why do great series have to end. My body was never ready for this. USUI ;....; Never forget. |
| "There stood a high school boy, who for selfish reasons had twice beaten an elementary school girl unconscious, and had gotten all nihilistically worked up about it. Actually that's still me." |
| I really enjoyed the final chapter. I thought it did a really nice job of wrapping things up with all the characters first at the school with her reveal and then with a good time skip and a where they are at now in the future thing for everyone. It was really heartfelt and it was obvious that the author cared about all the characters and wanted us to see their future lives. I loved the wedding and I loved that her sister was together in the pairing I wished to see too! Mostly all good - it was nice to see the 10 years in the future thing - a wedding ending and a good job at progressing what they would be and look like in the future. I really DID NOT think it would be 10 years before they would be together so that was my only regret. However, I liked the author's no regrets and tie everything up nicely approach with a great wedding and a great send off. Overall quite a good chapter and a better final than most. I've been reading this one FOR YEARS so it was nice to have a satisfying finale. |
 |
| I wasn't too amazed by the ending, but the manga overall was really great and one of my favourites. But I think everything concerning England (the last 15(?) chapters) didn't get me all that excited than the rest. |

| Was the person who helped Hinata is Usui's father(the butler)? |
 |
| words are wasted here 9/10 |
 |
| I'm weak for these kind of endings. I loved it. Xenoi said: Was the person who helped Hinata is Usui's father(the butler)? I guess so. |
 |
| great end. love they included closings for the other characters |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Ahh, my reading list has really been cut down as of recently. Great ending. Makes me really want to see a season 2 of the anime. Either way, I am incredibly satisfied with this series. EDIT: Three years and 500 manga later, I have decided to reread this series. I ended up binge-reading the entire series in two days. That being said, Usui and Misaki will always be one of my favorite couples of all time. The pacing of the growth/development of their relationship is perhaps the best I've ever encountered in the anime or manga. Their interactions (whether subtle, overtly romantic, or bickering) were some of the most adorable things I could recall. Because this manga was one of the first in my journey into manga, I unintentionally used this couple as a benchmark for other romantic couples, making others fall flat by comparison. Overall, I reminisced on this series with nostalgia, but I hadn't realized until now what a wonderfully enjoyable manga this is and I'm surprised I had given it such a low rating. The last two arcs were underwhelming, but the romance leaves a lasting impression that I cannot ignore. |

| The conclusion wrapped everything up, but why do I feel unsatisfied? I fee like it could have been more....romantic. I also didn't see it necessary to separate the couple for that long amount of time. Misaki and Usui's status together didn't really change much either, even after the marriage, I mean Usui even mentions how busy she will be flying around the world. If anything it feels like they have gotten farther from each other. |

| Ten years is a big time skip. 9/10. |
 |
| The only thing I'm confused about, wasn't it supposed to end at 87 chapters? Why'd it end at 85? Cuz if I remember correctly it was at Chapter 84 where it send "ending in 3 chapters! Anyways, I guess that was a cute ending...? (although the helicopter thing was SO cliche, but then again, this whole manga is pretty unrealistic/cliche) The pairings were interesting, especially with Aoi (although kinda disappointed he didn't end up a crossdresser :p) I liked how he ended up a designer (and with Honoka too) but yeaaah... Edit: Not saying that the time-skip was bad!! Just that it could've been better XD. TonyC1994 said: The conclusion wrapped everything up, but why do I feel unsatisfied?

I completely agree, it could've been a lot better if it was more romantic than some out-of-the-blue 10 year time skip and just like "WAAAT?". But then again the last few chapters haven't been that impressive either so *shrugs* |

If anything it feels like they have gotten farther from each other. Yeah misaki will always travelling far away from home.. sucks to be usui... and what about their children?? she will be an absent mother.... one of those parents who are never at home because of work.. sucks. Actually I just reread the chapter, a couple more things to add. This last chapter just seems kind of inconsistent with Misaki and Usui, mostly Usui. He's someone who has kind of a carefree personality and doesn't usually follow the rules, so it seems kind of strange to me that he stays to work in England while Misaki is travelling around the world. He was basically together with Misaki throughout the whole series, it would have made more sense if they had picked a career path that allows them see each other more often, like for example: They both become diplomats, it seems more fitting that the "strongest couple" also become the "legendary diplomat pairs". Or seeing how the maid theme was one of the main focus in the series, maybe a career with somewhat of master/servant Boss/Personal assistant type of relationship. Irony would be if Usui became Misaki's assistant. Anyway I'm sorry if it seems like I'm ranting guys. It's because I love this series so much that I'm picking on the ending. |

| It could've been much much better if the issue regarding Usui's father was solved; it was shown how the Ayuzawa women forgave their father; and how Usui kept bugging on Misa-chan because he/she was missing him/her even though they were sooo far away and tried to find many ways just to be together :D <3 jjay_stary said: Did anyone else also see that Igarashi was wearing a ring on his ring fingerrrr!!! I lovedd him throughout the series. According to my understanding, Igarashi and Maki were... married. Yeah I know it's weird but... it's England... and Igarashi said, "Yeah, It's to pleasure me.".... When I saw the ring... and THAT line I was like O.O and looked at the panel for how many times!!! >3< To think that I was wondering who Igarashi with that shmexy fang of his got married to... and it was just Maki!! O.O OhmygodIcan'tbelivethis!!! =_= But if you think about it, it makes sense 'cause Maki always wanted to please him and was like a stalker to him having drawings of his daily routines ~_~ Could anyone clarify this ring and line thing to me?? T^T (I even had a bit of a crush on him and liked his chemistry with Misa-chan with his tsundereness >.<) |

Vupa said: Same here and here's hopeing they animate the rest of the manga or at least make season 2 of the tv seriesIt's over. T_T. Such a long journey. I loved the ending so much, they finally got married, but the side characters got together too. T_T Too much. GAHHHH T_T. Why do great series have to end. My body was never ready for this. USUI ;....; Never forget. |
| aw! one of the best typical shoujo ever. Haha. but, seriously, i love it! Especially the 10yearslaterlook of USUI~sama! <3 *dokidokidoki. <3 I didn't expect sa-chan and aoi ah~ i guess that's one thing unexpected for me in this ending. haha. ~ Have a safetrip master! :) perfect! 10/10 |
| So this is what it feels like to finally finish a manga that you've been reading for years... Dayum. I'm so glad I checked today (translation just came out a little while ago) I loved the conclusions of every single character! They all look amazing, with fitting endings. (I nearly got a heart-attack when I saw Aoi-chan *u*) For the inconsistent quality prevalent in the final chapters, I'm extremely pleased with this one. The anime and manga were both great. I could elaborate but everyone here already feels pretty much the same as I do, no? All the lovely warm feelings have settled in my stomach ^,^ On a side note: That was definitely the final chapter, right? Why is MAL saying there's 98 chapters? |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| i loved this ending and i obviously loved this manga.sad that it ended but at least we actually got to see them get married as they obviously would since they were so much in love with each other.i really hope that some anime company announces a second season of this series as i loved the first season and there are so many things they could cover in the second season or even third if they actually made it.one of my top manga series ever and glad that it ended on a good note.cant wait to read the authors next work whatever it may be. |
| We got what we were hoping for, the marriage :) I prefer Misaki with long hair though :/ But overall, it was enjoyable. |
| One of the best finales ever! I'm glad they showed everyone and they were doing in the last chapter. Still I had a great time reading Kaichou wa Maid-sama! despite some negative reviews. Goodbye Maid-sama, I'm really gonna miss you. Thank you for being a great shoujo manga. Still waiting for season 2. |

| Nooo i cant believe its over.. ;-; Usui and Misaki.. T_T... no child... </3 |
