Wow, that was really unsatisfying. It was just "hey hey" and back to old shenanigans, but just a few years in the future. How the hell is she still able to be a student there anyway?

It was a great ride overall for sure, but that was a really bad way to end it.

She had to repeat Highschool. All of it. I guess the 6 year guy was a hint.

I personally enjoyed the series .. but watching documentries and Bakuman i also realize that not all manga authors have the power to end the series once the company the manga is being produced luts a date to ended the author most reach that date now the way they want now i hope thats the case of this series but who knows maybe this was the original ending the author wanted but didnt have enough time to connect the dots and answer questions such as whats Adachi's secret and such and where she went but there are some clues there but still .. i enjoyed the whole series and i hope that the ending wasnt the original that was planned but yea good series .. ending gives me angel beats vibe in a way lol

and i guess i was sorta right, please read below

http://mahouxscans.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/yoshikawa-interview/ Link to an interview with mangaka that had some juicy bits.
Yoshikawa: "Ah, that. I thought long and hard about it, but revealing Hana’s secrets would have lowered her appeal, I believed. Not only that, but if Shinagawa focused on that, it would have limited his high school experience. I felt it was too early for the cast to be doing things more appropriate for adults, and not what I wanted to focus on. I know it was selfish of me, but I hope there are those out there who will understand."
Interviwer: (Laughs) Readers have postulated many ideas, like maybe her parents are crime lords, but there’s no telling so the ideas get pretty crazy. Someone once said they were stuck in some magical world.
Yoshikawa: Aha ha ha! Let’s just say it’s possible, huh? (Laughs) I just wanted her to remain mysterious. It was a big draw for her character, and perpetuates the idea that women are incomprehendable.

LOL. what a stupid excuse

I don't even know. 4 years and no girl for Shinigawa.

The other girls were definitely better than Adachi. I was really hoping that Shinagawa would fall for another girl. Poor Shinagawa, he would stay virgin forever.

Repetitive, formulaic shit
In the end we still don't know what really happened to Adachi. And that ending was fvcking horrible.
We dont even if that ending was real or just imagination. *sigh*

2.5/10 (cuz repetitive, formulaic and shit ending)

I actually quite liked the series overall. The middle part was golden and make me laugh almost every other panel. Their delinquency, tempers, interactions... all very entertaining. (You can tell the mangaka had an interesting HS life if she can spur this out. Hell, "It was pretty common for a friend’s father to be a crime boss." - from the interview with the mangaka)

But then most every everyone became gag characters (Izumi and Chiba), one-time characters were introduced, and holy hell that ending is terrible. Adachi just nonchalantly shows up again after 4 years? I think the crime lord family route would have worked just fine. WHY DID SHE DISAPPEAR? At least give some probably explanation for that! And it's not even possible to achieve some of those things in 4 years... Why did Shinagawa even go through with school? His feelings were never answered either.

You know what? I'll just think that the Adachi in the end is all Shinagawa's imagination/delusion - she's probably dead somewhere or missing. Yes, I like that better.

The sad thing is, that makes a hell a lot more sense then her being a student in HS after 4 years after everyone else graduated. Hell she is one year older than the rest of the MCs. That makes her at least 23, and is repeating the second year of HS since transferring...

This ending really doesn't fit with the rest of the series, if you ask me. Especially with the more dark ending with the delusion of her popping up.

And the mangaka's thought that revealing Adachi's past wouldn't fit the manga? so fucking what? Give us a proper conclusion god damn it! Hell, come up with a sequel that's more mature if it didn't fit the original manga.

I really did enjoy this series, until those last few pages. It's like Mass Effect 3 all over again. :( (not as bad as ME3, but still)

8/10 for me.

Ah this is just a bad excuse, maybe the author wants to do a non mainstream ending but it turns out super horrible. I wonder what her editor was doing.
I doubt I will continue reading Yamada 7-nin knowing this kind of author.

The finish finishing blow to his mental state was the field trip. It just broke him. Thats why he went to the restroom. And the restroom became a trigger and caused him to relieve his first meeting with Adachi. He is just sitting in the toilet, alone, with his delusional Adachi. This is why she hasn't aged a bit. So what you should feel, if anything is sympathy to a broken man.

tl;dr Shinagawa had a mental break down and is Adachi is just an illusion."

Yeah, this actually also crossed my mind (as it did many other people's too probably), and I had the same idea when reading the last few pages. It makes more sense than Adachi actually being a high school student again.
So yeah, I pity Shinagawa; poor guy. This poor manga, too. SHame : (

ugh... such an unsatisfying ending to a great manga. Was the mangaka rushed to finish the manga or something? Something was definitely off when Adachi just up and disappeared after everyone took the university exams and yet there was little effort to contact her. It was totally unnatural of the characters to do so little for Adachi. I was expecting they'd atleast force their way (like they have on many occasions) to have a face to face talk with her. Instead 4 years pass without a word or whisper of Adachi. It hit a particular sad note which was weird and unfitting the tone the manga had established before Adachi's disappearance. And after 4 years she just returns as if nothing happened? Such a poorly done conclusion in my opinion.

The whole story is good, but what 's wrong with the *ucking ending?
But I just remember the chapter that Adachi wished to the bracelet, she is the only one wished that so in the end she is stucked at school for the whole time.

Just trolling, I hate the ending.

It definitely looks like there was supposed to be another story arc in this manga about Adachi but it's probable that the publisher didn't want to continue the series so the final arc (passing the exams) ended up the way it did.

It absolutely is a shame because this was a great manga all the way up until then. I think one of the problems is that this was shonen genre instead of seinen so the mangaka held back too much and developed the story with a very unrealistic sort of idealized highschool experience and such. I for one get really tired of things like all bad guys just being misunderstood good guys, no one actually being able to have a mature relationship and problems that can just be "solved" through applications of "talking it out" or "hard work" (the world doesn't really work that way all the time).

I really enjoy manga because the variety of stories it tells are way different than what's available in english/western comics usually, but I have to admit that modern day manga as opposed to older stuff, has narrowed quite a bit and developed these sort of tropes that really restrict story development and lead to things like this terrible ending.

I think that she died way back when she disapeared. And her parents are long dead too. That's what her grandma means by "she went back to her family". That's why her brother loved her so much when she was still alive. She wouldn't leave Shinagawa and others.

A pretty good manga with a weird ending but the mangaka said in an interview that the last two chapters show Shinagawa and the gang after graduating high school, sort of like bonus episodes so that means that the manga should end at the school graduation ceremony which mean that adachi went to her family and never appeared again so i would stick with "shinagawa became mental" ending cuz "repeating highschool" is just soooo unbelievable

That explains why her house was blown up also. She died in a massive plot explosion.

Thanks guys, I like the ending better now.

I knew they would encounter each other again though. What an awkward reunion LOL, in the bathroom...

I'm really disappointed, and that whole "figment of his imagination" discussion, to me, would make it FAR worse. I wish there was more romance between both Shinagawa and Adachi. I'm sad to say there wasn't. If it weren't for the crap ending then 10/10, since it was a bad end, 9.5/10. Argh.

Sorry but I don't even remember the real ending because I committed the better one to memory. Now that I think about it, you burning the book is probably what caused her house fire which then caused the plot explosion. So everything just keeps making more and more sense.

Wow, what a poor finale. I was gonna give it a 7 (mostly a high 6) but with that ending, sticking with a 6. It's a shame too, I really wanted to see something actually develop with Hana but she literally stays the same throughout the entire series.

Despite Shinagawa basically having a harem, nothing ever happened, no one took any chances, this bothered me, at least having a rejection scene of 1 or 2 of the girls would have suffice, especially with how it even introduced a new girl near the end.

The last volume just felt like complete random stories they could have used for something more important, like explaining what the heck was going on with Hana. As someone above mentioned, there was probably suppose to be another arc or two but whatever I guess, felt like it was dragging on too long anyways. Not that it helped it in any ways.

I remember loving this series when I was younger, but putting it off after I caught up to the current scans. I finally come back, and decide to re-read it so that I'll remember what is going on (was at around ch. 160-170). I regret it. Honestly I should have just left it where it was - the last "going to college" arc was kind of repetitive at a lot of points and lost the initial charm the series had.

And that ending - Holy smokes, it was so rushed that the ending instead was unintentionally tragic. All you see is Shinigawa presumably full of regrets after first getting into a university to chase after a girl who never appears - and then basically sacrificing his dreams on the off-chance she will appear someday again. I honestly think it is more practical to see those final pages with Adachi on the stall as being his own hallucinations of her. I really like this author, but she just CAN NOT do endings to save her life.

What a letdown. The beginning was steady, then the 1st yr was good and hooked me. The 2nd yr and 3rd yr upto sports fest was best, then it began going downhill with pointless harem and no-goal romance. The prep school and afterwards were nightmare to finish and just began dragging the corpse. 7/10

I kinda want to enjoy this manga but it was way too long for what it had to offer. It even decided to have a non conclusive ending for the protagonists. I had to start speed reading because I was losing interest in the gags and the plot lines. The end bits with him trying to get into college made the story better but the manga ad a whole dragged on. Not sure how I feel having finished the manga but it happened. Not a terrible ending but kinda bland or flat. A solid 6/10. Would have been a 7 if it was so drawn out. It could have been a shorter manga with a better ending. Felt inconclusive in certain areas.

What the heck with ending.? The story was good until you got the ending. I can't accept some readers said Adachi was an illusion. Then how about her brother, grandma, friends ? All of them know Adachi. Not only Shinagawa. And the most thing that i can't accept she go to highschool again?! And i was like : what the hell Adachi did in 4 years ?

Very pleasant manga with good characters. Remind me a bit of kyou kara ore wa but kyou kara is funnier and more badass. The end is pretty harsh, I don't think Hana could come back to school after so much time, for me she's not with shina in the toilet. He was thinking of how things could be so fun back in time and he just visualise what hana could've done if she was there.
It's just like life: sometime you're pretty sure you will get something then you realise you will never get it and you have to accept it, it's gone.

But good manga in general
