I can't believe it's over!

Since final volume will come out in May
and there is still some place for more chapters in volume.


Please, make chapter when Koutaba finally go on summer festival! *.*

Really, I don't feel like this is final... ;(
I want more! >.<

It seems like every Manga site has Ayakashi Hisen as the last chapter rather than the actual chapter 49.

I'd appreciate a link for the last chapter.

WHAT? It's over? D: Noooo! They could have at least made it 50 chapters or something.
I can't beleive this. After following it for so long, it's over. It had a solid ending though, and it makes sense that it ended. It was a great manga, Sakisaka-sensei is awesome. >.<

Ah~
The second manga I ever started reading, ended with 49 chapters.

Kou changing his name back to Tanaka.
Started with the name Tanaka, and now ending with the name with Tanaka. Heh, way to go.

I knew Touma was going to pop up somewhere in this chapter.

I liked the way they ended this chapter with Kou and Futaba taking shelter at that shrine again when it started raining.

Wow, what an amazing way to end it, was way too cute when they sheltered from the rain again, they are perfectly suited for eachother and it makes me not at all jealous of them. Has to be my favourite romance manga ive read :) 10/10.

I completely agree with you. Like, The beginning of the series was great, but then it got really cliche and I felt as if it was rushed.

But the ending was perfect.

It ended well, although I didn't appreciated as much as I wanted, the manga went down when all that drama and love triangle happened, which is sad, since it was great on the first 14 chapters.

I started "hating" the main characters and looking forward for the supportive ones, Yuri got what I wanted, and Kominato x Murao happened a little too fast, she had been noticing him for a time, but they started dating too soon, and both of those secondary relationships weren't shown that much, which is a bit sad.

Also the fact that Narumi (and almost Touma) was forgotten, she had lost the father, and went for Kou for support, but then she just disappeared, she played an "important" part in the story, so at least, we could see something. Touma got that usual hint of future couple with Kominato's sister, I guess that saves him (but it won't save the last guy from his group, poor guy).

I didn't know this chapter was the last one. Didn't feel like the last chapter. It was somewhat anti-climatic.

That was an meh ending, kinda enjoyed the fake out sensei pulled at the beginning of the chapter, glad it didn't actually happen though. 9/10 manga for me, other than the kind of weak final chapter, I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Ending was kinda meh imo, fairly predictable with the the shoujo tropes. I wanted to see Shuuko kiss Kominato though D:

Overall, 8/10. This last chapter felt underwhelming imo but the overall story had me interested throughout the course. Looking forward to Sakisaka's next work as well. Also, S2 please?

Weak chapter, there should have been more focus on Futaba and Kou since it was the last chapter. Shuuko needed more time in the previous chapters. And it didn't even feel like the last chapter, unless there is some extra one.

Overall I preferred Strobe Edge to this, the whole Narumi/Touma drama annoyed me a lot.

Not the best ending ever for a manga I loved so much, but still cute. It was a fluffy ending and I'm a sucker for fluffy endings. And it all felt so nostalgic at the same time, it's hard to describe how I felt about the last chapter. Futaba's right, the Kou right now is not the Kou she met in junior high, nor is he the Kou she first encountered during high school. He's changed quite a lot ^^ Last time I'll say this, but I'm so proud of Kou.

All I can say is, it has been a good four years, Ao Haru Ride. Been reading each month since the pilot chapter, and since I usually don't start a manga right when it begins, this has a special place in my heart. Now that it's gone, I feel like a piece of me is missing just like when Naruto ended. Despite the frustrating parts, it has overall been a really cute and fun ride. Looking forward to Sakisaka's next work!

I am going to miss this manga!!! I think the ending was perfect because Kou and Futaba went to the shrine where their love started. I love it the part when Kou kisses Futaba in the shrine.

Hope that Sakisaka sensei will make specials chapters! and I will be waiting for her next work!!!

I had a great time reading Ao Haru Ride for the past four years. ^^,

It was an ok ending, felt really rushed though. But I guess that has more to do with the previous chapters and not this last one. Anyway, I'm happy that Kou and Futaba ended up together in the end. That was all I needed to give me some good feels.

The ending is half-baked but all right, hmm I just can't hate this series, must be because I grew up with it...

I like the personality development Kou went through, though I would have LOVED it if it wasn't so odd ;__; His charm was a 10000x better the first 21 chapters.

A pretty good read, there were some melodramatic or generic parts, but I really enjoyed the interactions between the characters and their thoughts and feelings. 8/10 for me. I think I'll start Strobe Edge from the same author, it looks just as promising.

Omg! I thought I was the only one who has this idea... I never expected that chapter 49 was the last one. I didn't got the feeling of a conclusion of the series. More like "Ending of one chapter, so stay tuned for next week" kind of feeling when this came out.

Story ended on chapter 49,
this isn't confirmed, but this is quite possible series will get special chapters,
because volume 13 will be out in May and usually volumes have 4-5 chapters,
but currently confirmed are 2 chapters, so until May we don't know
if final volume will have only 2 chapters or there will be added special chapters.

I see Tks for the info , it's really helpful.
Yeah it seems weird if the volume only consist of 2 chapters
But May wao ! I been waiting so long already lol.
But if they were Special Chapters do they even have any connection to the main story or it's just an alternative or basically maybe something like a flashback stuffs etc ?
Im still pretty new to all these kind of stuffs , as for anime , most specials are nothing special , some does consist of important story plot but mostly are just for laugh and such

And it's over. I like how the story concluded in the same place where it started kinda.

It was a great manga. I like every characters, even Touma, and I'm happy that Kominato and Murao ended up together. And of course Kou x Futaba XD There are also some very cute moments or very exciting ones that kept me reading even if it was 3 a.m. and I had school the next day... Though there are some things that I didn't like. For example Kou trying to get Futaba back in such a pathetic way or Yuuri being completely useless to the story after she was rejected by Kou. But overall I enjoyed it.

I really hope the anime will get a 2nd season.
