I read this chapter and it was wonderful. It turned out that Mai fell in love with Gene. Is it really Gene that was in Mai'S dream?! Lol, i just couldn't believe that all this time Naru wasn't the one she fell for although Naru was always beside her 'physically'. Lol! Or did she also love Naru? Or did Naru love Mai? Ggggrrrr...
Mai x Naru fan

it was GENE all along ..
but its pretty obvious that naru has some special feelings for MAI even in the anime u can tell somehow..
i thought naru just love wearing black clothes but it was actually his mourning clothes for his twin brother ..

yay kyodai-ai is definitely my stuff lol

Yeah, the part about whether she loved Gene or Naru really frusterated me... Because I'm like a hard Naru x Mai shipper so I'm like... but wait... D': But it was a reallyyyyy good chapter and series, made me cry when it ended!

I teared when Naru said, "Me... or Gene?"
Then I was thinking "Who was it really, Mai!?"
I mean, she may have liked Gene's gentle personality but it's because Naru was cold blooded that she liked this unexpected side of who she thought was Naru!
T__T
Sorry... still trying to debate to myself between Naru and Gene...
But overall, I really enjoyed Ghost Hunt and I'm so glad I read it! Though it'll take me awhile to get over my feelings, haha -0-

I want to cry!! but i can't seem to bring the tears out!!!! GEEEEEENEEEEEEE

Naru is actually really sweet.... he loved his brother!! why does Gene have to die?!?! Why does Gene have to leave?!? can't he at least let Mai talk to him for the last time, so that she could tell him her feelings??

Why is it so sad?? NOOOOOO!!!! TTnTT GEEEEEENEEEEE!!!!

Mai x Naru fan



according to wikia (http://ghost-hunt.wikia.com/wiki/Kazuya_Shibuya_%28Naru%29#Trivia):
"According to the author of the series, she considered “Naru” and Mai to be canon and expected them to be together as a couple eventually. However, she did not want to write that kind of story as it held no interest to her as a writer, and she did not intend to write a romance series. "
so yeah, it's pretty much canon but we can only imagine how it turns out that way...

So it ended.. bahhh if only she would chose Naru it would be better.
The moment Naru said, "Me..? or Gene ?" In my mind was thinking my god girl what were you thinking !?
Naru is the first one she met.. just because he has that personality. Sigh...
This makes me feel like she is jumping from one boat to another just because Gene was kind and nice to her.
I don't like how things turn out.. otherwise it was a great.
I'll just continue with the presumption that Mai like Naru.. though I would be lying to myself. XD

A beautiful ending. Though it was sad, it was perfect.

The ending volume uncovers this manga's shoujo nature. Honestly it's not bad, though the ending arc is quite weak in its mystery aspect.

I think she loves both of them. It might be Gene's kindness that made her fall, but all this time she thought of him as Naru and also harbored feelings for him. Even if she realize they are different people, it must not be easy to erase feelings for one of them easily.

This ending got to me-not so much but it was genuinely sweet. I'm at peace knowing the author made Naru and Mai canon even stating that they will get married. I'm glad ^.^

Am I the only one who believes that Mai actually loves Naru, and not Gene? I say this because Mai originally fell in love with the illusion of Naru, being Gene smiling. Also, there’s been many instances where the real Naru has smiled as well, and still managed to captivate Mai. He didn’t even need to make Mai blush or have her heart start racing by simply smiling, she’d blush when he’d compliment her, or just by being in the same room as her, and other small things as well. Also, later in the series, we can see that mai warms up to Naru’s character, and accepts him for who he is, and still loves him anyways, despite being the “bad guy or bad personality” he claims to be. It can be seen that Naru, does in fact have an attraction towards Mai in the series, these two clearly have chemistry. I believe Naru put mai in that situation, being the “me or gene?” situation, to confuse her, or second guess whether who she really liked, because of his pride, or from what he said in the manga, “he feels bad when others care for him,” like he wouldn’t be able forgive himself if he’d do something to hurt mai, or if something bad had happened to Mai under his watch, due to her caring so much for him. Also, it could have been because he was returning back home to England, and didn’t want to lead Mai on, or didn’t want her to have lingering feelings while he was away, because that would clearly upset her. Since, not knowing if Naru would ever return back to Japan. These are just my thoughts, I love this pairing. But the author clearly stated that they are canon, so it’s up to our imaginations to see how they would have ended together in the end. My guess would be that after seeing the last chapter of the GH manga, we can see that Bou-San clearly has an attraction towards Mai, which Naru then begins to notice, and feels threatened that Mai may eventually feel the same for Bou-San, thus leading Naru to confess his true feelings for Mai, and puts her in the same situation once more being “me, or bou-san?” this time..Which then makes Mai realize that she’s loved Naru all along, and that it’s always been him who she’s been in love with this entire time.

I like spooky and horror movies, so reading this was really good. I’m glad he found out what happened to his brother.

I really liked the ending, wished the anime could've adapted the final case as well. Hopefully more people discover this series 🫠

What a great ending to this series, almost everything was wrapped up perfectly, with one thing being left open-ended (the identity of Gene's killer and whether she will ever be caught) I really did expect Mai and Naru to kiss, but as the chapter went on I figured it was not going to happen, which I'm fine with, Naru, or Oliver rather, wouldn't want that anyway. What a great cast of characters, full of thrilling cases with no low points to speak of, although the last couple panels I kind of don't get, I assume it means Mai still loves Naru, but realizes she can never be with him and that's why she won't cry anymore
