Stark700 said: > Merry Unbirthday Lol what. That was an obvious reference both to Alice in Wonderland and the manga itself: there was a chapter (around 47 if I remember) which was called 'Unbirthday', with the great tea party arranged by Oscar, which is what this glimpse of an alternative world was about. |
| I think the ending was somewhat rushed and that some things could have been cut out in order to give space to others, i.e. the dream party sequence felt way too long and unecessary while actual important stuff like what happened to the Baskervilles and Gilbert's life during those 100 years were almost left out. Overall I liked it a lot though. I got pretty emotional reading the first summary that appeared around and then again while reading the translation. I've been following the series for a couple of years and it feels kinda awkward now that it's over, like something is missing, i don't know lel I'll be looking forward to MochiJun's next work, as well as an anime adaptation perhaps???? As long as it's given the proper care it deserves this time. |

Maybe Elliot and Break are back thanks to the 100 year cycle of rebirth, although unlike Oz and Alice they're probably different people. It's still pretty depressing to think that Gil lived to see all his loved ones dying, though. |

| One thing that has been bothering is that since Vincent died in the epilogue, wouldn't this mean that Gilbert might be close to his death as well? Considering they're only a year apart in age and all, it would be pretty shitty if Gil died right after his reunion with Oz and Alice. I wonder if the guide book will give us any info about what happens after the ending or if MochiJun will just leave it up to our imagination. |
| Vincent was my favorite character in the series sad to see him die, but at least he was happy before he did. I'm guessing Gil won't be too far behind maybe a few years? Sucks that Vincent/Ada didn't become canon, but at least he had a good reason not to. Great manga 10/10 in my top 3 currently with 07 Ghost and Magi. <3 |

Yeah, I guess that Gilbert too will die after a few years. He even said that he will be following him (Vincent) soon. |
| I absolutely love this series. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. That being said, I did think the ending was a little rushed. I mean, Mochizuki skipped over a hundred years in just a few pages... but I guess it's understandable given the fairy tale nature of the story. Still, I think it took away from the emotional impact of the last few events of the chapter. Also, I wish I could have been able to read this whole manga at once rather than having to wait a month in between each chapter for two years. I think it took away from my enjoyment of ph because many times, I couldn't remember certain events and the emotion I felt during previous chapters had faded. Overall though, I adore this series. It's the only manga I've loved enough from the beginning to buy every single volume. I will definitely be rereading it many times. I just can't believe it's over... |
| Ah, I feel so sad right now for Gil as he saw his loved one passing by leaving him all alone,but then again I feel happy for his reunion with Oz and Alice....screw that I don't even know what to feel anymore! Rating this less than a 9 would be completely inane so I'm rating this a 9. Chapter 60+ were definitely 10/10 throughout. |

| I don't even know what to say... I cried throughout this whole chapter. Gil, out of all the characters I felt the most sorry for him. I just love the connection between Gil, Alice and Oz. Seeing Gilbert all alone was just too much for me. Vincent leaving was just overkill. I was afraid it was going to end with him all alone but then he reunited with his beloved Oz and Alice. That was the best possible ending I could've wish for. 10/10 for the final chapter and 9/10 for the manga. Definitely not a happy ending but I was extremely satisfied. |
 |
| [i] Cried so much. Beautiful ending. The scene which Gil said he would wait for them and the reunion scene were the best. Looking forward to read the next work of Mochizuki Jun. So Xerxes died, huh? So sad. Wish this manga would go on forever. So beautiful. Definitely going to re-read it. [/i] |
 |
| Oh my god, this final chapter was beautiful, bittersweet and full of feels, I'm so glad that a friend of mine recommended this to me back in 2011. The first part was beautiful with everyone making an appearance (Especially Elliot, Echo, Uncle Oscar and the relationship between Oz and his father) and looking happy, but when they returned I shed a tear when Oz and Alice were saying 'see you' to Gil ;-;, I feel bad as well for Rufus who never got married with Sheryl but at least he seems that he enjoyed the time he was with her. Ada and Vincent was a couple that I didn't like at the beginning, but since some chapters back I've found myself liking it and feeling bad because they were never a couple, but the last moment of Vincent with Gil was so beautiful :tears: . Sharon and Reim, made sense even as last minute as it happened. At the end Gil is like Hachiko, an excellent and loyal friend, he waited 100 years to see Oz and Alice again. Also I finally understand the reason of why every chapter was called ''retrace''. 10/10 I'll read this again so I can fully understand everything. |
 |
| The tea party that'll never happen is making cry like a baby. So much feelings I'd say, bittersweet :'( Still, thank you for this series, Mochizuki-sensei. |
 |
| I just finished reading it as soon as I heard it was online. All I can say is WOW. Honestly, that was probably the best manga I've ever read, beginning to end. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |

I wonder if the guide book will give us any info about what happens after the ending or if MochiJun will just leave it up to our imagination. Even worse considering that, assuming Gilbert is reborn as a normal person they will never see each other again as their reincarnation cycles will keep missing each other. And even that is assuming they even keep their memory. Which I don't think they will. How Oz even seems to have kept a part of his is baffling. The whole thing is probably intended to be a bittersweet ending, but there is so much bittersweet stuff (more bitter than sweet really) happening here that to me it's an outright downer ending. |
cloud-of-wishes said: mina-san , about what break asked oz in chapter 88 saying : " where are you ? " oz' answer wasn't revealed , was it ? I was thinking about this too. I guess Mochizuki wanted to leave that up to our imagination, I highly doubt she just forgot. Narzia said: The whole thing is probably intended to be a bittersweet ending, but there is so much bittersweet stuff (more bitter than sweet really) happening here that to me it's an outright downer ending. What was such a downer about it though? Gil was technically never supposed to see Alice and Oz again, but he was able to, even if they can only be together for a couple years. |

Oddyeus said: Sharon marrying Reim? What the fuck? Also, no romantic conclusion between Alice and Oz? I'll assume the latter happened/happens at some point, but Sharon marrying Reim was stupid. Makes complete sense to me. They've been through a shitload together and their closest living bonds are easily each other. |
IeBraas168 said: do you know or the official guide will be translated to english? bc I really love to have those either Yen Press hasn't translated any side work besides the first Caucus Race (to be released in June), so I doubt the new guide book will get an English version any time soon (or if at all). |
| This last chapter made a gratifying ending. It has ended beautifully, don't we agree? Pandora Hearts was one of the most developed storyline I've ever read. You think you know the next story? plot twist will screw you down to your last idea. |

| *finishes re reading* ok now that I sort of understand what happened, WE NEED ANOTHER ANIME. PLEASE, ANIME GODS. |
 |
| Yes the ending was bittersweet, but a little too much more bitter than sweet for me. I have been following this series for four years and the last few volumes just didn't feel the same as the rest of the series. Before the series was able to create some intense feels without main characters dying. |

| I'm happy with the ending after giving it some time to sink in, still not sure what to think about what happened to Jack though. It makes sense for him to have such an unsatisfying ending but it hurts to see his story end like this. At least his miserable existence is finally over I guess. Looking forward to Caucus Race and her next series! |
| omg this last chapter was amazing. I never thought he would kill duke barma after he survived in the abysm. But still, it was a good ending for him. I loved the fact that Jun gave a proper ending to the characters and didn't created a happy ending story. The part of the abysm and laice and alice was a little difficult for me to understand and i still don't know if laice was the abysm or what happened there |
| Bizarre manga, but the good kind of bizarre. No qualms with this ending. Seems Barma was fine with being stuck in the friendzone for the rest of his life. |

| This manga to me was a lot like what LOST the TV show was.... It started so great and interesting, but it became so convoluted and all the twists and turns and needless subplots took the fun out and just made me question it too much. I put it on hold for more than a year until it finally ended. To say the least, the ending was exactly what I expected, overly emotional and still not very comprehensive. The art was great, and many of the characters were interesting.....I honestly can't say I liked the story because I completely forgot what the whole point even was. 6/10 |

If you have any specific questions, about story details or the themes (the "point"), feel free to ask. It sucks that the manga didn't hit you like it hit the rest of us, for whatever reason. I got the exact opposite impression, nearly. The manga started off interesting enough, but it's true brilliance wasn't unveiled until it hit the halfway point. |
| I agree with zacrathedemon5. I don't think I've ever met a single person who has not fallen in love with PH and its brilliancy after reading the entire series. Every single thing ever foreshadowed in this manga and every single doubt are referenced multiple times and cleared with proper, solid explanations by the end of it. I'm trying to get some friends into it and they're mostly thrown off by the series' slow build, but it just wouldn't be the same if Mochizuki had set this up differently. People need to learn how to give PH time to reveal its true colors. Pandora Hearts is a masterpiece. |

| @JustALEX This series wasn't exactly easy to follow, but it wasn't a mess either. All of the plot revelations fit fairly nicely together. I think your problem may have lied in how you read it. Titles with dense plots like this ought to be read all once so that the details aren't forgotten. Expecting to get back on board after a year might be a bit much. The only subplot that I could have done without tbh was Echo's. |

Expecting to get back on board after a year might be a bit much. The only subplot that I could have done without tbh was Echo's. The problem is quite simple.....this type of manga doesn't appeal to me, and I'm more than happy to admit that. At the beginning it seemed very much like another shounen, Teenage MC, action, evil organization, good guys vs. bad guys, etc... But that was only the surface, within it, it was pretty deep....but not the type of deep storytelling that really got to me. And because of that I lost focus and interest.....although even like that I still believe it's kinda convoluted, even when I was following month to month, the twists and turns were too much and it just seemed unnecessary at times. But who knows, maybe I have some bias against it since I didn't like the direction it went... I know people that were big fans will say they perfectly understood it....of course, they enjoyed the story and were captivated by it, so it's easier for them to stay focused on what's going on. Like I said though....this type of manga just doesn't appeal to someone like me....there were obvious elements that pandered to females more than males (and trust me, I'm 100% ok with that), and in the end as much as I actually DON'T like to admit this....I probably would've liked it better if it were more simplistic. Sometimes simple is better....but I'm just speaking on my personal viewpoint. Clearly this manga just wasn't for me, so that's not the manga's fault....it's my fault. I gave it a 6/10 (despite the fact I didn't like the story too much and I actually was considering dropping it) because the art was indeed amazing and regardless of the story I'm a huge fan of manga art....and a few characters did interest me. |
| So...what happened to the other baskervilles (lottie, doug, lily, etc)? |

Or she feels like PH fans will understand what happened to the rest of the Baskervilles without her explaination. And besides, I prefer it that way. |

Not as much closure as the main trio, but of course not. They don't need as much. |
| Brilliant. Perfect. There is nothing I would change in this manga at all. Reim and Sharon was a bit weird... but I guess Sharon deserved to move past Break. |
| A beautiful end for this manga; praise to the writer, Mochizuki Jun. |
