The ending... sucked.

Let me clarify from before, a few days ago, it's not that I didn't like this manga or didn't enjoy it, but anticipating from the fact that it will end in one more chapter, there is no way it will resolve anything, given a highly plot intensive manga.

Guess what, nothing is resolved. Nothing. More underwhelming than I expected.



Leaves a bad taste in my mouth to be honest. Start really strong, and developed into an immensely enjoyable manga somewhere in the middle, only to end in one of the worst ending that I've seen, especially given the strong body of manga.

6/10

Still can't find the raws.
All I heard was the Shinigami was an asspull and suddenly she has Childhood connection with MC in Chapter 18.
Oh for fucks sake..Where did you pull that out from?
Its a bummer since I found this manga to be enjoyable and the most of the Girls has no development aside from the Idol.Awesome Art(You know when you fucked up lol) and Four timing self aware MC?! Sheesh all dem potential.
I blame Japan and their bad taste and got this Manga to have an axed ending.

That was more predictable than the Royal Rumble 2015 this weekend. No characterization of the girls, just used as position in plot device while the story's "romance" itself felt empty. Art was overall nice while the concept had some potential. Le disappoint.

Dude. That's disgusting. All of them are just perfectly fine after that ordeal. No one wants to kill him? That's messed up.

And the shinigami had no character development, it was so flat.

5-timing ending?

Would have been better if they at least clear the things about the other girls and not end it like this.

So basically she didn't die because the relationship with those 4 other girls didn't end to ruin because he was not hated by them which is kinda annoying I mean 4 girlfriends and even one of them didn't even got mad?

I was so ready for him to get stabbed by the yandere girl.

I feel like this was axed and was given a rushed/forced ending, because they hinted that each girl had their own fair share of problems. But none of that was expanded upon, and nothing is resolved--so those girls still got their issues.

I guess they're chalking it up as similar to the ending on The World God Only Knows, where they forget the shinigami existed in the first place, and therefore those 4 girls still think they're in a relationship. Now I remember what this series reminded me of. This is essentially a watered-down version of The World God Only Knows: An otaku is visited by a shinigami girl that puts their life in grave danger if they do not date multiple girls, while solving their personal problems (or in this case, don't), with the shinigami posing as an imouto, who herself ends up in grave danger, only to return as a normal human in the end. They basically share the overall same exact plot and ending.

Hm, people say it is a bad ending, but in my opinion i believe it is a good ending for an axed manga.
I like how the Shinigami is back and those other four girls still like him.

I saw the chapter in Batoto and its in english.
Anyway I find it hard to believe the girls were fine with the Quadruple timing.
The reason was basically this "I can't bring myself to hate him" Lol bullshit.
For the Idol who had characterization its probably a pass? but for the other Three girls who just fell flat and has no justifiable reason to even STILL go out with Minaguchi is just *Sigh*.
Airi is taken to the Shinigami world to be presumably "Killed" and Minaguchi loses all his memories regarding her even the whole reason as to why he started Quadruple timing.
Then for some unexplained deus ex machina writing Airi was ok? andd transfers to his class the next afterwards and declares How she loves Minaguchi and proceeds to kiss him in the cheek.The whole class go "EHHH!" and it ends.

Anyway I blame Japan as always for failing to see untapped potentials.
It was good while it lasted.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME

what a serious waste of good plot and fun idea this manga had.
It literally had potential to be a lot longer and much better but it probably got axed or something and the publisher forced the author to finish the manga.

seriously lame.
4/10

The ending was rushed as hell it makes me mad ... I'm pretty sure that it was canceled because i don't think that the mangaka is stupid enough to end it that way ...
But tbh this manga is amazing .. Maybe i didn't read enough manga but that was definitly one of my favourite harems ... Hope the mangaka makes a sequel or something ...

Was salvaged to an OK extent by the author that was forced to end it abruptly.

So harem route it is. Yeah, the ending was pretty terrible and rushed. So many plot points were simply glossed over, like Kobayakawa's relationship with her mother, etc. It seems too forced that everyone's okay with Minaguchi and how the hell was Airi able to come back. Ehh, it was still an absolutely hilarious manga that made me laugh like crazy at times and the face reactions were hilarious, but I wish the ending would've been better. Was the series canned or something? Oh well, I'll never forget that Death Note "Keikaku doori" XD

Still, I loved it and it would've been one of my favorites if it was more complete.

I didn't like the way it ended. So soon, with some bit of loose ends.


But the manga was brilliant. I can't say that I haven't enjoyed the manga after all. It would have been better if the manga had continued serialization.

9/10, cause this is the first harem manga that I have appreciated. Also one of the harems which aren't that bad after all.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

Well. It should be longer if so it would be great, but ended w/e. This manga has good start, interesting middle and trash rushed ending.
I hate Airi, MC should have hate her too. Basically all 4 girls were sweet and I don't mind Harem Ending, but excluding Airi the subhuman (since idk how she even back to human realm, she should suffer to fullest in the other world).
Axed such good manga, but even so, mangaka should have ended it in some other way. The ending sucks and piss me off.
Now left only rage and sadness...

Last two chapters were garbage but I really enjoyed the rest of it. Seems like it got axed and had to be cut short. The comedy was great and I was actually getting into the plot. Surprised the writer hasn't published much... There's clearly potential there.

I'm concerned... I don't actually hate this.

While the ending was rushed, the situations were superficial and the self-awareness was overbearing, this shaped out to be something surprisingly competent.

I'm on board with everyone else in that the harem ending was the worst possible approach they could have taken. The thing with Airi only wanting to help the MC felt shoehorned in - even if you could tell that they were trying to set up that twist from the start. It would have been better if Kaoru ended up getting together with Kobayakawa, since she turned out to be the most developed character. The idea of the two being set up by their oppressors is quite a nice idea as well.

The ending hasn't undermined my enjoyment like it has for other people. While this manga did quite a few things I disliked, I'm surprised that it managed to do a few things I enjoyed. This is probably a 5/10 for me, which is waaaaaay above other competitors in this genre. I'll go ahead and leave my dignity by the door.

Dam did the ending to this manga sick. Dropped a plot twist to change things up and didn't even do it well.
