| time to read this? I dropped it after 20 chapters or so because I understand it's main story, or was too lame. |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| it's ending. the manga was very interesting. thanks for the hard work! will miss the art very much... |
| this manga has lots of flaws but it has always remained my fav. manga despite that. I do feel like this ending will suck because it will leave so much unexplained, like who dr. minami is what is ikki and what is his past. Also ikki seems really under developed compared to ringo because we know her past and what she aims for in the future but with ikki all that's still blank. we also never got to find out about ikki's teacher he seemed to know more than what he lead on. I also want a time skip in maybe the last 2 or 3 chapters to wrap things up nice. as for the romance this is just like negima ending too soon without wrapping things up neatly. |

| WHY ~ Y ~ Y ? Т____________Т |

| Air Gear is one of my favorite manga, I liked how it went but by the time when they started fighting Sora, it went downhill quite a bit. I didnt quite understand all these "science talk, gravity, etc. And the looks of the Sky and Storm Regalia doesnt even look good.. I prefer just the normal Wind Regalia. I know that it would be coming to an end soon, but I think this is too sudden. I doubt he can fit everything into 6 chapters or so? We dont even know shit about Dr. Minami still. Or Sleeping Forest (Kilik) It also doesnt feel like it was a tournament.. Good work for all those years, Oh Great! And thanks! |

| Kinda happy about this, I'm tempted to pick it back up and finish it. |
| Story has been a mess since like chapter 180. Not surprised this is ending. |
| well might start reading it now |
| Hopefully means season 2 of the anime :D |
| Holy shit, a lot of long-term manga are ending... |
| "If you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up big and strong!" |
| About time… |
| I don't quite know whay it lasted so long, I can only assume it improved over the years, so I may pick it back up again now. |
 |
| It had a good run. I enjoy the series. Hope for more seasons of the anime, though very unlikely. |
| NO NO NO NO Air gear cant end now, there is a lot of stuff to happen! Please be a joke!!!! I dont want it to end its my fav manga! And what is Oh!Great-sensei doing next? Or no more? I DO NOT ACCPET IT XD |
 |
| Now gimme a new anime, Hunter x Hunter style. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |

I DO NOT ACCPET IT XD Deny this all you want... But I heard the story has been less than great, the art though is supposed amazing(I saw it in the beginning and was pretty shocked at how detailed it was, I can only imagine he imrpoved over the years) |

| As of the latest... the battle has nothing to do with the Gram Scale Tournament... |

| A little disappointed in the timing of the last chapter as well as how forced the last 30 or so chapter felt. Hopefully the story can be summed up smartly with some inspirational/moving scenes towards the end. Otherwise it'll be a killer for those who followed the manga for a bumpy 356 chapters. |
 |
| Did it end with a conclusion? Was there a good sense of closure? |
| The good sense of the manga was gone like 100 chapters ago.I mean, Air Gear was a good manga in the beginning but at some point the author screwed up(around chapter 200?I cant remember in which part)and a lot of things were very unclear.At this point Air Gear which was a good/interesting/funny manga became a manga which I was only reading to see the end. But considering how bad Air Gear became in his second half,the ending was pretty good. |

| Air Gear was a manga that derailed when it stopped emphasizing the main story and character, and started dealing with back stories, and characters arcs left and right. Back when we focused on Ikki, we had funny hijinks, badass ideas, and just general awesomeness. Now we have unimpactful-world views, friendship is magic, and a million subplots. The ending, I feel solved many plot hole for the (now-central) side characters (I mean, how else was I going to find out that Onigiri is now married to Sarome, who is somehow not dead form having her neck twisted 180 degrees, and Kazu finally goes out with Emily) but it really lacks what we were looking for, like Ikki getting to ride with Simca, or where everyone goes from there, or even WHERE DID IKKI COME FROM. They never really cover the plot holes with his natural talent (jumping off Tokyo Tower), his relation to Dr. Minami, or why he needed to be adopted in the first place. If it wasn't for the newfound conspiracy theory about how mangakas are ending their mangas to send a message to the greedy publishers, I would say that Oh!Great could have done a lot better. Considering his time span though... well, at least it wasn't Negima's ending :) |

Considering his time span though... well, at least it wasn't Negima's ending :) I was thinking that too! I've been reading this manga for 4 years now! It has always been on my favorites list and even the anime which is what got me into the manga in the first place has always been a favorite. I absolutely loved the concept of Air Gear and using ATs to fly towards the sky. Even to this day I listen to the Air Gear OST, especially Love Sensation and Chain :DDD When I think back to how awesome this manga once was I am glad it has come to an end. I have so many questions that may be unanswered but even more so I have so many questions that I forgot since the chaos has been going for 100s of chapters. I do believe I will re-read it one day to better appreciate the manga but great work Oh Great! for 10 years and looking forward to the next series. Hopefully the artists learns from his mistake and keeps the triple layered metaphors, norse mythology and pointless characters to a minimum. Air Gear will be a pleasant memory and hopefully a season 2 for anime can fill in some gaps! P.S Negima is next on my long term manga to finish list |

| What a sudden ending, it seemed like there was loads more to come but ahh well. It was awesome, surely going to miss it ]': |
