| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Synopsis of the 52nd chapter of Aoi Hana, "The Final Tale" below the fold: Just as I feared, Takako Shimura ended this manga waaay too soon. For the last few chapters it had been just one huge time skip after another. I wonder what happened that made her fold both this manga and Houro Musuko, but whatever it is it's unfortunate. In any case, cross off another manga that I have loved for so many years that ended too soon for my tastes. Believe it or not, this was the first manga that I bought ;_; Five stars. |

| I was expecting a few more chapters for this manga. As much as I love Aoi Hana, I didn't expect this to end too soon. :C |
| well thats over now. im gonna miss it. i am of course disappointed with how it ended with fumi getting back together with akira. it was way too quick. |
| I didn't like the ending. |
 |
| So, was this series supposed to be twice as long? What happened? Did someone force the writer to wrap everything up in less than 3 issues? Not to mention the extremely weak side characters. Blagh, oh well. At least I didn't find out about this manga until it was almost done, anyway. |
| ugh. someone finally released a translated version of chapter 52 and its a colossal mess. half of the pages are missing. |

I am glad there was like half of it missing or it would have been pretty terrible. It is complete some place else. Too bad it ended like this. I'm happy about Fumi and Akira but it was not ok to rush things like this. I hope she didn't do the same with her other manga. And I really hope she will add an extra chapter soon. |
| Well, I'm pissed. But I can't not love the rest of it, I'll just pretend the last chapter never happened. |
| Ok finally read it. I don't really understand the ending dynamic with Fumi and Akira. Are they together? Good friends again? |
| im pretty sure they are together. it mightve implied they had sex at the end. |
| dissapointing, but oh well, at least it's over now. |
| Its really unfortunate that the whole thing dropped off at the last quarter with poorly developed minor characters. |
| So you're making me realize I suppodely read some "wrong" chapters? Link to legit ones then? |
| Oh god, thank you very much. It makes more sense now. Also, maybe it's just me, but I feel as if the artist just got tired of Aoi Hana and not only filled it with unnecessary filler and new terrible side characters but also the art got a bit.. lazy? Most of this doesn't look very detailed. |
| thats what i thought as well, about the artist/author. but in comparison to the first chapter and the last, style wise, there isnt that much difference. although as you said theres less detail. i just realized maybe thats why she cut akira's hair, so she wouldnt have to draw her braids anymore. |
| Loved the ending. It was a little rushed (so were other parts of the manga), but it wasn't so rushed that any important information was loss. You just have to do a little decrypting, and take note of body language and blush lines. Regarding the nature of Akira and Fumi's relationship: |

| That was so half-assed I am disappointed :| |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Hmm... don't know how I feel about this ending. Oh well still enjoyed the series overall.. |
| Really liked this manga but unfortunately I feel it could have had a longer ending. |
 |
| As much as I love how it handled the romance and drama aspect for most of the part, (way better than Girl Friends tbh) but it's convoluted as fuck. The story's branching off too much. Way too much focus given to the side characters. Then it also hit me with rushed and weak ending. The broke up then made up after a timeskip was poorly handled. Seriously left bad taste in my mouth. |
| I knew roughly what to expect with the ending, so I'm more or less satisfied. The final few chapters were really rushed and I'm not a fan of back to back time skips, either. I interpreted it the same as @aikaflip, and I'm very happy on that front. Even with the convoluted nature of this manga, I liked Fumi and Akira so much that the shortcomings of the manga don't really bother me. |
| It makes me sad that the ending was rushed. I didn't know, so when I started to see all those timeskips I was disappointed. Overall it was good and I loved the relationship between Fumi and Akira, it was heartwarming but I didn't like the focus on some side characters. The author could've used those chapters to fully develop Akira's feelings, after all the manga is about her and her relationship with Fumi, mainly, and I would liked to see how Akira settled her feelings. |
| I just wanted to see them living together 5 years later and what that looks like. Even if the time was limited I assume the mangaka finished the story like she wanted. Still, Japan has a terrible habit of ending a gay series super short. You don't see that with Thai/SK Manhwa etc. like WDFS?, Pulse and Lily Love. Japan, please have more respect for your great series. I always read the last few chapters of this story if I'm down and I want some Yuri. Their longing and acceptance for each other are so beautiful. It would be cool to write a fanfic about how they're sharing an apartment, their living habits, what the sex is like, what Fumi and Akira's parents thought. |
| And they get back together again. Yay ? I honestly could not care. I haven’t read a lot of yuri but damn, this isn’t that good by any standards. It has some great art and some interesting characters but it’s execution just did not impress me. |
