| Kokou no Hito (The Climber) Is undeniably my favourite manga of all time and after reading this finale chapter that seals the deal. I've loved the manga from start to finish and I recommend everyone should atleast check this manga out. Seeing how Mori has changed as a person throughout the story was a wonderful journey to watch. This last chapter is a masterpiece. Seeing the changed Mori struggle to climb a rock after climbing the K2 eastern face and being one hell of mountaineer was beautiful. The consequences pursuing mountain climbing really show as he lost many toes and many fingers. The art in this manga is also top tier with every panel looking amazing no matter the scene. Utter masterpiece of an ending. Im so happy i read this manga it's truly changed my life forever and will forever be my all time favourite manga.  The greatest conclusion in animanga history Though I have so much more to say about this PEAK manga and I'll probably comeback to edit this later on I'll leave it at this. |

| Such a great ending. I'm a bit sad that he became crippled, but at least he's alive. |
| Pretty good read. It started off like shit (I remember dropping the manga because I was not interested), but I gotta say, it was worth it to keep reading to witness the KINO PEAK of the 14 mountain arc aswell as the last couple of chapters in this manga. Seeing Mori mature from a loner who indirectly got his sensei killed into a married man was truly an incredible journey. He yearned for loneliness, and then later, he yearned for companionship. I guess there were SOME consequences to climbing k2, as his mountaineering career is pretty much dead (which I assume that's what the one panel of "the immortal katou buntaro is dead" meant. not that he actually died, but moreso his career is over). seeing him lose everything from climbing k2 sucked, but atleast he was smiling in the end. even if he cant climb bigger mountains, he still has family to look forward to. thats another benefit of companionship i suppose. i kinda found it icky that everyone from 14 mountain died from the all traversal, while mori was able to climb k2 all by himself. i felt like it kinda went against the themes of how you cant mountain climb solo. you NEED a group, or YOU WILL DIE. but i guess not? eh, whatever i guess. i can suspend my disbelief for the time being considering how superhuman mori is. maybe it also shows how loneliness can be better than companionship...(?) but thats only if your companions are incompetent dumbasses like takemura and that one vice captain... with that being said, im kinda glad that this manga didnt focus too much on the side characters anyway. its clear that this manga is a character study of mori and mori alone. there's no need for extra filler fluff. this manga was very well paced in that regard. overall, crazy ass adventure. i loved most parts of it. the artwork was simply a treat to the eyes, every couple of panels i'd genuinely just gaze at it like a louvre painting. awesome stuff. the opera, nighthawk imagery of niimi's death, mori in space being hopeless, and the final "amazing grace" panels are all highlights that i wont forget. shinichi truly cooked. |
