They could have finished this manga in like 2-3 more chapters, why the hell did he end it!
He go there and kill the boss, then saves his sister... his sister forgot about him so he goes crying and tell her how much he loves her!
After that she suddenly gets her memories back, and there we got a happy ending!

But noooooo they had to end it with a damn open ending!!!!!!!!

Because the author was tired of writing Gantz like story and decided to start a new one that is more like Kampfer :/
For those who are really desperate here is the sequel ->
http://myanimelist.net/manga/35121/Sai:Taker_-_Futari_no_Artemis
But I recommend not reading it because it is a bad joke and not a contination of Re:Birth.

As for this chapter - Reiji finally turned into a badass ready to kick ass without whining, why couldn't we watch him ripping the bad guys to pieces? :/

I know Dal Young is infamous for the manner in which he 'ends' his series, but surely there's got to be a proper continuation? You can't suddenly have THE WORST, MOST USELESS MAIN CHARACTER EVER CREATED ripping out a heart, with his poor sister strapped to a chair, and call that an ending. YOU JUST CAN'T!

The sucky thing about this is, there was a lot of good contained within Ayaka's character that made the series great, at times. I was impressed by how her being a psycho was tied into the battle mechanics. It also impressed me how it was explained that our society, which caters to the weak, was built on the sins of the strong. Had Reiji not been so... UGH and Ayaka not been forced to protect him due to his role as her special one, I could easily see the series as being good; with Ayaka topping Yuno Gasai in the love-love yandere rankings. BUT NO, WE GOT THIS SHIT INSTEAD!

It was a cancellation/low popularity ending. Had to be. Otherwise, Dal Young would've milked it for all its worth, like with the ever trashy Freezing. Same sort of deal as UXU: ran into problems and finished it terribly, just to get it over with.

Was gonna give it 6/10, but 5/10 is the best I can offer if it's just gonna be left like THAT.

I wonder. If that was the case would he started Sai:Taker which is, in theory at least, a sequel?

I can only assume he had some ideas left over he wanted to try from Re:Birth, re-worked to fit with a new series. Unless Sai Taker links into Re:Birth in a big way, I can only see ending after 7 volumes - when he's CLEARLY in it for the money, with the amount of crap he pumps out all at once - as a way of cutting his losses. He could've kept the series going on forever since there wasn't a time or 'player' limit, like in most survival series, and that confession girl Reiji bumped into (was on one of the covers) seemed to be discarded, so...

So I assume that Ayaka and Reiji switched minds right before being separated and that's why AyakaReiji's so badass now and can use Phantom.

And ReijiAyaka's been strapped down naked with 1 arm to a chair for 3 years like he deserves.

Finally, Natsuhi has fully accepted AyakaReiji has her onee-sama.

It seems that the author decided that mindless fanservice sells better than plot (or maybe just don't overtax his brain so much) and that is why Re:Birth died and Sai:Taker was orn :/

This chapter ended up being the most interesting. And now its over. Well that was a crapshoot waste of the other 28 chapters. Really now, couldn't you have just had more of this in the rest of the manga instead of rest following an irritating spineless protagonist? I suppose not.

BULLSHIT ending. Well, the manga started off good but the later chapters between 25-29 imo seemed like shit to me. Dal Young should write a side story to this to make up for the shitty ending but otherwise, I'll give it a 6/10.

Guys, you should think here .. Just because the ending was damn wrong it doesn't mean that you should bury the entire manga ..
Im, Dal Young is well known for his sh*tty cliffhangers so when you were about to start reading you had to keep that in mind.
I'll give it a 9/10. Definitely.

^ This

Now you grew a pair, you're 28 chapters and 3 years too late! Ayaka doesn't deserve that, after the fucking badass stunt she pulled back at the end of chapter 1. 'Tis a crying shame for it to end like that, to be honest. Ending is worse than that of B. Reaction...

The ending was surely unexpected for me, but just finding out that's what the author Lim Dall-young was known for, I should've seen it coming. It was a good read 'til it last. Seeing how the plot gave intense insights on the society we live in got me interested in the explanation through out the story. I liked the idea of Reiji's change from a pacifist into someone who finally accepting that killing is inevitable, he did obtain the Phantom ability concluding that he himself has took the path of a psychopath. I wanna complain Nikaidou Ran not more fleshed out in the ending on how she felt after the incident with Reiji and the others but after reading the sequel for it, Sai: Taker - Futari no Artemis, I just found out that she has become the guardian of the siblings of the guy Ayaka killed. Concluding that she accepted the life of taking care of those kids. Not yet clear, though if she still holds grudge to Ayaka but looking at her life now, my guess is she forgiven her.

That was rushed as all heck. The princesses translocation should of just worked. But no they set him up as a badguy, kidnap our main girl and make our main character a badass for a cliffhanger that will never be continued.

What the heck??? 7/10. I felt reiji was being redeemed but then he ruined it at the end with the cliffhanger

Posting this comment for newbies who might read.

This Manga has a proper sequel Called 'Re:Birth-2 The Life Taker' it is in Manhwa format and has 14 translated chapters.

And do not worry, Our MC becomes a Hardcore kick-ass in the next volume.
