| THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Yay, I was right. Time skip but it was only a year into the future. Yamato and Suzuka are having their wedding and we get to see their Daughter "Fuuka". Yamato and Suzuka plan to have a second kid. More info on the chapter can be found here http://anime-horizon.blogspot.com/ I'm a bit happy that we get to meet the new daughter and see how everyone (their friends) have evolved a bit since the last time they met. I suppose this ending was a good choice. Props to Seo and cant wait till his new work this Sping time. |

| ok so its time for the time skip well that was inevitable I guess. but this seems like it will be a nice ending but nothing special. I hope his next work is good I will be waiting for it to come out in the spring too. That was a nice chap all in all just wish it was a little further in the future I guess I would like to see if there kid became a great athlete too. |

| *wipes off manly tears* That was rather unexpected. I thought that the ending was gonna be boring but I found it to be rather satisfying. I was expecting the friction between Miki and Hattori to have been gone by now. |
    |
| ya I wanted to see Miki hook up with Yasharob in the end (sp?) :/. Yamato and Suzuka really do make a good couple. I love how she finally told Yamato how much he means to her (I can't live without you). The ending was good I give it a 6 out of 10. |

| man the spring is too long for me to wait I will loose interest by then I wish it was starting in like january I think I could wait that long. ya i wish they would have hooked up too but this manga never really told us about side characters so i guess it is to be expected. |
| |
| I was a little unsatisfied couse sport thread has not been finished. Ending was very nice and warm though |
| Seo's (suzuka's creator) new work that's about to come out apparently is not related to Suzuka at all. It's another romance manga about a guy and two girls that apparently like him. I'm not sure of all the specifics yet since hes still finishing up the manuscript but I figured id make a post anyway. Screen shots can be seen on his blog. |

| Why in the world did the author choose to end this whole manga with pregnancy and failure!? What utter trash. This manga went from good sports drama to silly low class garbage. 3/10 |

This manga had so much potential in the beginning and the second half was basically an insult to any reader's intelligence. Talented sprinters become teenage parents... What market are they trying to capture with the last two trashy volumes. Suzuka basically acted like she had no intelligence unlike the first three quarters of the manga. 3/10 ---> 4 points docked off for plot change and 3 points docked off for making me regret reading this manga. |

It''s a cliche almost. Oh and I'd love it if any one could recommend a manga to read that resembles Suzuka/Love Hina/Ichigo 100%, preferably something with a bunch of chapters since one shots leave me feeling empty on the inside... I hate those manga series because all the girls are basically walking zombies since they only act as dolls or put onto a pedestal regardless of how intelligent they are. You might like .... I''s |
Vicis said: Oh and I'd love it if any one could recommend a manga to read that resembles Suzuka/Love Hina/Ichigo 100%, preferably something with a bunch of chapters since one shots leave me feeling empty on the inside... hmm, recommendations? You might want to check out Kimi no Iru Machi (A Town Where you Live). Its a new manga by Kouji Seo, the very same guy who authored Suzuka, that started last Spring. and I have to say, it has been a great start for the manga so far, probably even better than the first couple of arcs in Suzuka. |
|
| le sigh! finally finished this manga, I've had it on hold for the longest time but i found some free time to finish it and I really loved it. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| Truly a great manga. It has taken a spot in my favorites. :D |
 |
| Try Cross-game or touch. it has sports and romance and pretty much light-hearted. and in suzuka the sport factor was emant to be kept minimum since it isnt a major genre in the manga/anime |
| I finished this manga in half a day aproximately 14 hours...it's a great manga..even though you might think i don't have anything to do.. Well the ending is kind a bitter but not a bad ending..just a word of advice..if you are a healthy teenager with a good future please use condom..and turn on the light Well for the first arc i Hated Suzuka a looott..i think in the end Suzuka will regret not accepted Yamato's love..but the story goes, and yamato deserve Suzuka..it has a lot of development..i Hate Honoka alottt Well from promising athlete into a parents it's quite shocking...i hope there is another continuation but not Suzuka or Yamato...perhaps their Children Fuko..i want to see how she grows..i mean a Perfectionist and Careless parents will make a good combination.. |
 |
| Go Dad! "All I ever wished was for her to be happy" *crying* Haha Honoka Suzuka: "But even so you kept chasing after me" well well Yamato was really persistent Kobayakawa's face haha representing in the 100m and 200m the ending was not bad but.. it should not be like that |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| So glad that it was a happy ending ^^" they ended this manga beautifully you could feel the raw emotion put into each and every chapter I never felt bored reading this it was just so good and watching the path they took you can appreciate how happy they are now =] definitely worth reading loved this manga a lot. |
| I really liked how this ended - happily with a wedding! And I'm glad that Yamato and Suzuka ended up together and that they chose to get married and have the baby! :) Now... My thoughts of Suzuka.. I liked it and it was a very good manga, but, it took me a really long time to get into it. I didn't like the characters at first - Asahina was a moody bitch for the most part. I didn't like her at all at first, but when she got back from America, she had changed and I ended up liking her a lot. I guess it was around that time that I really started enjoying the manga - when Suzuka went to America. Before that, it was quite uneventful and not much happened, except them getting into fights all the time and Yamato failing club activites. I also felt that most characters had too little character development. It felt like Honoka and Yui were almost completely forgotten during the later parts of the manga, and I would have loved to get to know Hashiba better. She had far too few appearences in my opinion, and it was never something important. The manga I read online had some really bad scanlations and translations for the most part, which made it even harder for me to start liking it. But I really enjoyed the last 50 chapters or so. |

| I'll just keep it short, I haven't read a lot of manga but I can easily say that Suzuka is the best manga I've read thus far. |
| it was a fun read |
 |
Salazar said: likewise 10/10it was a fun read |
| After finally finishing this manga, I agree with all that Suzuka was indeed a fun read. However, I feel that I need to vent out my frustrations about the conclusion. The ending was nice and all, but it doesn't feel right after reading the majority of the manga! Up until chapter 155, this manga was a definite 9/10 for me, but it's now dropped to 8 and almost 7/10. The artwork and characters were excellent, and the relationship between the main couple was going smoothly, but then the author decided to create the pregnancy. W...T...F... Reasons why this fails: 1) It makes Asahina going to the USA to improve at high-jumping totally pointless as she can't compete anymore 2) Yamato can't fulfil his promise to be no.1 sprinter in Japan and can't compete with his big rival Arima (plus, he got a condom from Yasunobu and SHOULD HAVE USED IT!) 3) Instead of pregnancy it would have been better to show the two go on to university to realize their great potentials as athletes (would have been cool to see what their uni life was like, new friends, new rivals, etc) before getting married and having kids 4) The whole sports aspect of the manga developed from chapter 1-155 has essentially been wiped out in an instant (for me, the track and field aspect made Suzuka and Yamato much more interesting as characters) The only good thing is that perhaps after their daughter grows a bit older, Suzuka and Yamato could both continue doing athletics together for a bit (at end of manga they are still only about 19-20 years old so quite possible?) Anyway, this is just my own opinion and reflects the massive disappointment that I feel. The manga seemed to have settled for a very normal ending rather than in style. |
| Well I personally liked this manga quite a lot, many things went like I expected and stuff, honestly I didn't even thought once that this manga was going to really concentrate to sports. After all Yamato wasn't never really interested about sports and things more like circulated around everyones feelings and Yamatos huge crush towards Asahina. Only real surprise to me was the fact of sudden ending, it kinda gave me sort of feeling of boredom or lack of motivation, like author just didn't want to do it anymore, eventhough he could have extended it "easily" about 40-60 more chapters. Maybe all ideas towards plot dried up and he desided to hurry the end? It really left university and some other features totally unused, but nevertheless, it was great romance series and last chapter left behind really comfortable feeling. Next project to me is to read Kimi no Iru Machi. ^^ |

He wanted to move on to new things but understood the series couldn't be left open ended. I agree, if he had more motivation he could have easily continued the series on past the marriage. |

Hmmh, honestly I would have prefered open end, coz after some time (maybe years though) he might get new motivation to end it properly. But what is done is done, most importantly... I enjoyed it so not going to whine about small things like this. ^^ And thanks for background information. |
| Well it was pretty terrible for the most part, but improved drastically towards the end when the characters actually developed properly. The ending was ok. |
| I see a lot of sad faces and stiff but... This is really the end I love and always hope for. MAN! I was hoping that it would never end but I can't be happier about the end! Nice Pic:  |
       |
| I've just red it and the ending left me with bitter sweet filing. I would love to see them all compete in athletics and Yamato win against Arima. They've could have been good rivals. Never the less this kind of ending is also ok. Did author really planned this kind of ending way back when Yamato gave Suzuka charm for less painful pregnancy ? ^.- I would gave this manga 7/10 just because they were excellent athletes but they never made their carriers. :\ But the thing that surprised me the most is that Suzuka and Kimi no Iru Machi are both made by same author because after reading latest chapter of Kimi no Iru Machi i was scanning through the list of romance manga and randomly chose Suzuka to read. ^^ |
| Suzuka, a story about teen pregnancy ending unreasonably well. =p That said, I found the manga to be much more enjoyable than the anime. It did seem like the author threw in the pregnancy thing just to wrap things up more quickly though. |
 |
| This was an awesome read, really really enjoyed it; if it wasn't for school i would have finished this in one day, it got me that hooked XD, it felt real; i know that some may disagree since manga is manga and in the end how real can it get; but the feelings at the very least felt real; it pulled you in, and in the end when everyone was happy with their happily ever after it felt great; as a read it was really enjoyable. I like the fact that they didn't get their perfect futures, because it adds to realistic aspect that you have to give up things in life for what you want; it was the sacrifice they made; so that last part with him and the kid after watching the track on the TV was a nice touch because it was pretty much saying he didn't need it anymore; that he had all he ever wanted, and so did she; YamatoxSuzuka! Great manga :D Also this moment Really was a awesome way to end it :D |
 |
| Excellent manga :) glad I picked this up. And congradulations Yamato-kun and Suzuka-chan ^_^ you are officially a couple and your days ahead will never be the same again Side note: Fuka is one cute little cookie |

This manga went from good sports drama to silly low class garbage. 3/10 While I don't think it bothered me enough to give the whole series a 3/10, I kinda agree with this. Everything regarding track and Suzuka/Akitsuki's dream of being the best were just tossed aside. It feels like half of the first 150 chapters suddenly didn't even mean anything anymore. I do like how this series ended after the plot twist though, even though everything was completely predictable. (Abortions never happen in any kind of media meant to have a happy ending..) The ending was satisfying enough though and I enjoyed the series throughout. 9/10 |
| Loved every single page of this manga, maybe because i didn't read many of this kind... Just didn't like the setting, and the beginning, which resemble a lot Love Hina, but everything after it, i loved the romance, the true love... so realistic, especially the ending. This is the true happiness. 10/10. |
 |
| oh wow, i never thought that the manga would end like this. I actually don't wanna compare it to any other similar manga such as Ichigo100% and I"s (which are some of the best manga i've ever read), while they all kinda focus on the theme of pursuing each other dreams, i noticed that Suzuka is quite different in providing the conclusion. I don't think it's a bad thing, i actually love it! 8/10 p.s : i wished Hattori and Miki end up together though :p and i really happy to see that Yui appeared again. btw, Honoka is my fav character of this manga and i'm rooting for her all the time, i kinda shocked (and super sad T_T ) when she told Yamato that she already have a bf >_< overall, i think her character development is better than any other characters in this manga. |

My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Best Romance Manga EVER .Period. And i have read alot of them ALOT, nothing comes close to this Masterpiece 10/10 |
| Just finished this. I originally watched the anime which got me interested in it, but it ended weirdly. I'm glad I chose to read the manga, the anime ended far too soon for anyone to get a good idea on what the whole story is like. I greatly enjoyed it, and I'd say something about it being "the best manga I've ever read", but this is the only manga I've ever read, so I can't really say much about it. I wish they didn't skip time so much in the last few volumes. Starting with Asahina studying abroad, time would occasionally skip whole months or sometimes even an entire year. It kind of felt like the author was losing interest in it and was wanting to speed everything up to finish it faster. I'd give it a 9/10. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| So it ended with a happy end. I started with Kimi no Iru Machi, so Suzuka wasn't the first manga I've read by that author and I can say even though KnIM had several flaws, it still had good improvements after he did Suzuka. Suzuka started of as something completely different as what it ended. They were both the most promising first years and in the end they achieved nothing out of it. I know Suzuka would have done it without the pregnancy but I'm kind of disappointed in Yamato. After hearing "I'm gonna be first (in the interhigh and later even in Japan)" I really expected some results, but in the end: nothing. His best result was 3rd place in the interhigh and then even without his biggest rival Arima. And we didn't even get to see it. ~.~ And for the first 140 chapters (something around that..) Yamato was completely stupid, unreliable and just a good-for-nothing main char. He could change his feelings for the girls like it was nothing (after Suzuka's first rejection..). Oh Honoka is so cute, now I love her. Ok I don't love her. Two years later, oh Honoka reeeeeeally is cute, I should confess to her that I love her. Blabla. And it's too bad that Suzuka x Yamato could only be said to be a real couple for like 30 chapters (out of 166, when they loved each other almost from the first chapter ~.~). The bonus chapter that was coupled with KnIM was nice, too. Though Yamato was pretty pathetic again for the most part, but seeing Fuuka grown up and Yamato and Suzuka lovey-dovey was nice. After all, Yamato didn't get any results in the 100m sprints (though he was in selection for the Olympics, wasn't he?), compared to Arima and now-even-I-forgot-his-name-like-almost-everyone-in-the-manga-did who were shown to be at the Olympics. What I like is that hey got a happy ending and a nice relationship with a cute daughter. It had it's many flaws and those are always easier to tell than the good points so I may refrain from listing them, but overall I did enjoy the manga. Otherwise I wouldn't have read it all in only 4 days. |
| love this but i cannot give it a 10 well -1 for that stupid pregnant before college... and be real without any graduation, it is very hard to find a job with a decent pay enough to raise a child, felt it was unreasonable, anime ending was way better :P 9/10 |
| such wow. such manga |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
