Wow...full color like the last chapter and like 50+ pages....amazing. And we're finally reaching the end. Hagoromo-Gitsune and Rikuo need to learn how to work together and Grandpa Nurarihyon can't die. That'd suck for Rikuo if he wins that war and his Grandpa's dead. Please don't let the First die!!!!

My reactions ta reading the RAW version:

- starts with Nurarihyon, Rihan and Yohi... are you dead old man? T_T
- and... Youhime heals him... thats so... thats so... T_T
- awakes and immediately acts... thats why we lova ya you crazy old man :D
- Rikuo, u ok?
- Seimei... you better not hit Yuki <_<
- Rikuo and Sei-chan... dat sexual tension...
- and Rikuo goes into his human form... oh no...
- and Kitsune protects the little damsel in distress... and they Matoi... and the world ends
- I can see your thought Sei-chan... "Mummy? Why?" no seriously, his face makes me laugh for some reason XD
- and then he goes bat-shit crazy
- he really hates him mom... what, did she embarrass you in front of your girlfriend or something?
- Rikuo is no longer impressed by his shitty orbs
- ok Sei-chan, that was just embarrassing... he slashed you without breaking a sweat -_-
- YuiYui sure has some nice assets :D She better survive
- Sei-chan goes to use another fancy spell
- Sei-chan... goes crazier with every passing second :D
- Rikuo admit it: you intentionally destroyed half of his face, hadn't you?
- Sei-chan dies and the Spiral Castle goes down... no redemption for you old boy
- short epilogue, but still seems nice... I expect it to be better when translated. Still, a shame other battles got only two panels... maybe the extra pages in volume 25 get used on them?
- I don't think there was official ship confirmation, but it is obvious which girl got the spotlight ;)

And of course... Enchou got away... unlike Ariyuki it seems ^__^;

Just finished reading raws and this ending sucked really hard. The battle was alright but in the end, it finished like their another day was over. It was like Reborn's ending, without any significant conclusion. I hope they make its OVA. ;___;

Don't bring up Reborn's ending... that accursed final arc...I imagine Nura's ending was somewhat better at least. Reborn's was just horrendous and inexcusable. I hope Amano takes some cues from Urobachi with Psycho Pass, it's shaping up well.

It wasn't that bad of an ending. I liked how the old Nurarihyon was drawn and coloured.
Hagoromo Gitsune sided with Rikuo and then doing Matoi with him was great. Rikuo looked like his grandfather with that fox on his shoulders. She did that not only for him, herself but also for her night parade. Seimei would slaughtered everyone had he won. Hagoromo deemed him unfit to rule over all ayakashi.
Hagoromo Gitsune might have also been affected by Yamabuki Otome in her choice who to side with ^_^

One day adult Rikuo might perform perfect unbreakable Matoi with old Nurarihyon ^_^ So the old man could not die just yet.

It was all still rushed. Side characters fight could have been dragged a bit more. Maybe if the manga had more chapters then Seimei would have developed more than one attack? Then again it took him 1000 years to come up with this one...

Why didn't Rikuo choose who to marry? Come on people. They all are kids. Why would Rikuo need to take the first girl he sees for his wife. How long did Rihan wait for his human wife? Rikuo has all the time in the world for it and more. He should also no longer be affected by Gitsune curse right? So he can take human or ayakashi if he so desires?

Some of the bad guys didn't die. That is good. The may come time where we could get OVA after few years of time skip where Enchou guy comes back with new stories. Older Rikuo must fight him again (looking more like his night form now). Things could go into the romance direction later as Hagoromo Gitsune (Yamabuki Otome) would be affected by the change in Rikuo and his similarity to his father etc. Older Yura and some other human girls in the cast.

Because of WSJ :/

She became one with Yamabuki Otome.
Though Hagoromo was originally not an evil youkai, which is why Seimei was born in the first place and all evils she committed were to revive her beloved son, not due to being evil per se.

It was all still rushed. Side characters fight could have been dragged a bit more. Maybe if the manga had more chapters then Seimei would have developed more than one attack? Then again it took him 1000 years to come up with this one...


Final Tankobon volume has 70 pages that could be used for anything so I expect the Tankobon version of final chapter to have extra pages.
Ariyuki at least deserves more attention as, in a way, he was a bigger villain than Seimei.

I'm content with the ending, I've seen much worse ones before. I wouldn't mind seeing an extra chapter put out that depicts a time-skip to show what becomes of them in the future.

Well at least the shipping argument/war is ending.
I mean, we all know who got the most attention.
I liked the ending how it tied it all up, but it was so rushed even with 50+ chapters. They need to make an OVA about the future.

Could have gotten a better ending, but it was definitely a much better one than what KHR had. Personally, I really enjoyed the series, but it didnt have much of a punch factor so, it's a so-so..

Considering the circumstances I think the ending is fine. Did this series get the ending it should have? Absolutely not. However, nothing can be done about it now. With that said I like the full color pages once again. I wish the village of half-youkai was shown though.

Cheers for a good series, IMO, ending.

Given how awesome I found the rest of the manga I find the ending mildly disappointing especially that fight with Nue but the blame for that is entirely on the people who cancelled this series. Still, at least we got some ending instead of none(and not one as bad as KHR).

It seems kind of obvious to me that Tsurara is the mangaka's favorite of the three. Hopefully there is a third season for the anime.

The beginning of the chapter with Nurarihyon and Yohime made me cry, dammit why are they so perfect? And just gah!

I laughed until I cried when Yura read the invitation to the party.

Itaku was so bloody cute on that page where everyone glomped Rikuo. He should've gone to the party too.

And I was amused that Tamazuki was wrong about Dassai not going. Of course he would.

There were so many high-lights in this chapter.

All in all, this manga has been amazing to read and I love it so much.

I just finished this after getting into the anime. I have to say this is hands down one of the best Shonen I have read. The art, characters, and story where all exceptional. The only reason I won't give it a 10/10 is due to the bumpy start, but this is easily a 9/10 for me. I think the most memorable thing about this manga besides the art is Hagoromo Gitsune, absolutely loved her character design and story. Anyways, I hope we get a third season to adapt the final two arcs, even though its unlikely at this point. I hope to see more from this author, this was spectacular for his first manga.

This was a great manga!

Agreed. Hagoromo Gitsune's story and how she deals with herself throughout the story is actually truly sad if you look at it. You have to feel sorry for her especially with Otome within with her.

I know this isn't the omage section and all, but I just can't get my finger as to how Otome and Rihan is a "happy" ending. If they ended up together again, then how about Wakana?

Rihan's soul is in relationship with both Yamabuki and Wakana. This isn't some love triangle where he has to choose whom he loves more: he loves both of them and him being shown with one does not mean the other one lost.
In other words, Wakana will join him once she dies. Until then, he will watch over her like he always did.

I thought the ending was a bit predictable though. Good to know that Nue is defeated at the combined effort of everyone's help. Hell, even Kitsune was awesome here and she redeemed herself. 7/10 but the final few chapters felt rushed to hell.

Well I did think the ending was a bit too rushed. Personally, I feel like the whole Hundred Stories arc should've been cut out or at least should've been much more relevant to Seimei and his story. It did have connections but that wasn't the main part of the story.

Rikuo equipping Gitsune was sooo fucking badass. Favourite form.

Overall, I quite liked this. It's not perfect, especially the way it handled its side characters, even though I enjoyed them. The human side of characters were entirely irrelevant and only mildly entertaining. And I do wish the Tono guys got to be more involved with the story.

The art for this manga was exceptional. I loved it and I wish I could have a few panels framed.

(Also one of the last omake pretty much confirms Tsurara x Rikuo, which is awesome)
