Anyways, this chapter gets four stars from me, but depending on how the final chapter turns out, we might have to prepare for the biggest fail in manga-writing since the end of Usagi Drops.

And we have it. Bad end, as for me, 1/10.

I hope that this is a fake chapter x_x

Only Kuro is still cute.

Normalfags got told? Great.
Though it's kinda predictable but still logic. Also I relieved that author had balls (even though she is woman) to put such an ending and not something open or even worse "normal" (ie with Boin or something)

i really doubt that the manga ends like these... i have 3 theories

1)watashija had out of fuel and ends here with aoki and rin with some funny conversation, aoki disappointed but at the end holding hands (probably) pictures about the future...i hope :_:

2)watashi ends knj with a twist and starts a sequel manga with teenagers or puberty xD, with a slap on all readers (almost impossible but i have hopes T_T)....

3)the couple breakup for good... with all reasoning and some big chat about it , but with their bonds between them (maybe some pictures about it in the future too) the most unpleasant but most doable too ^^

Sorry, even though this is the last chapter, I'm too busy to write my usual synopsis of it (not that anyone ever reads them anyway, lel), so I'll just give my thoughts.

1.) We basically got a Chinamini end, and Rin stopped developing for no rhyme or reason, other than to give the lolicons what they want without running afoul of the Ishihara Act, something I really wish didn't happen. That twist turned the last two chapters into something of a caricature of the entire manga, which I still think is a classic.

2.) Despite that, I still gave the chapter a four because Watashiya-sensei is a talented enough storyteller to transcend that sort of hackneyed setting. Aoki's love confession to Rin and Rin's reply was very touching to me. And the sex scene at the end was handled pretty tastefully, and the added punchline was the icing on the cake.

Whatever the case, it looks like she told the story she wanted to tell, in her own way. I felt she chose the right place to end the series. It's also a nice touch at the end where we see a clock saying 5:00 PM, which in Japan is the designated time for kids to go home.

Oh wow, I didn't notice that Watashiya made a doujinshi long ago. The ending really was similar to Chinanmini now that I read it.

I liked this chapter. A nice ending to a marvellous manga. And of all the ways to end it, this was def one of the best. So, I'm really happy with it.

Btw, I love how Kokonoe and Aoki ware stick bickering like that, even while they are doing it XD cute

Is a good ending, when i start to read it i was sad (because is the last chapter of KnJ) but it make me laugh and remember why i like this manga, is true is a open ending, just because admitting that you love is mutual is just the beginning of something more big, more great, and that was the ending, for Kokonoe was the beginning of her formal relationship with the Sensei and with Mimi of her fight for her family.

But hey is the happy ending of the teacher-student relationship and that is the history of KnJ, and we cant follow they until they die...

I'll miss KnJ and i doubt that i'll find something like this ever again.... even if it is writed by Watashiya-sama

kinda sad that its over now. i am a little disappointed that rin didnt grow. to me that only happened so the author can please all the lolicon lovers. i thought i could get past it, then they showed daisuke touching her breast and his hand took up like half of her torso.

on the last page it says "Next issue there will be a present to celebrate the conclusion!" i wonder what it is.

Rin and Aoki ended together, Usa managed to claim Reiji and there was some fun lines that made me laugh. Nice ending overall.
I hope that Watashiya-sensei will launch a new seinen soon because she really knows how to write a good one.

I'm a little sad, yet relieved that this is over. I picked this out of the blue when there were 10 chapters left to go, and finished all 80 chapters in one day that time, and for me this is still one of the best manga I have ever read. Things sure escalated fast from the principal being a molester to graduation and finally the time skip though.

About the final chapter, I personally liked it a lot, just that I felt that the sex scene ruined the story a little. I don't mind that Rin remains a loli, although her being developed would have made things more interesting. It is more important that we find out that the characters have pretty much preserved their relationship with one another, which brings us to a happy end. I like it that Aoki and Rin's atmosphere between each other haven't changed yet, although I disapprove of Aoki having sex with Rin before she even graduated from high school, I do believe that 16 is the age of consent after all.

A good, albeit short end for an amazing manga that let me appreciate life a little more. The development and themes in earlier chapters will always stay in my mind.

when some people said "sex scenes", I think it was was quite wrong, "attempted sex" is most appropriate, Watashiya definitely wanted to show us sensei aoki like a real, integral and right man , and the manga end like this, with aoki on his way he wanted ... definitely with this rin`s body, they will have to wait 3 or 4 years more as a minimum xD

the sex scene seemed to me like watashija had been preparing everything, just for that scene (including the joke 'it doesnt fit,' naughty watashiya xD ) I laughted with the couple fleeing from police too xD

for me the this series should have been called 'fantasies of girls' and not t'he age of childhood' (knj) ... marketing assets B-)

I agree that this manga is one of the best I've read, especially in relationships, personally I did not expect much content or enlist in romantic affairs between sensei and student (i was reading only for the jokes) but ended up so inmerse into it... damn you Watashiya, I also will miss knj T_T

page number 28 have some valuable draw, totally worth it waiting for more than 1 year following the story T_T

i hope some wedding draws with the present thing for the conclusion! (rin's dream: to be sensei`s bride ^^)

Ok im good with Rin and Aoki having sex from midday to 5pm ( read ch92 to see the clock at 11:55am when aoki waits for her and the time on ch93 last page when they are seen holding hands on the way back) but.... No one ever commented on Mimi possibly being pregnant?
...I just finished reading this chapter like 3 times in mangareader and the only thing i get to understand with those dialoges is that she is in fact pregnant (maybe explaining why reiji goes home with mimi to confront her mother)

Someone please confirm this or correct me... No fan-based assumptions please... i really need to know asdasdasdadad

I'm a little disappointed that Aoki didn't call Kokonoe with her given name and her calling him Dai-kun, or something. that would have added so much more intimacy without going over the edge. but aside that, everything else was excellent.

I was expecting a sweet ending between Rin and Aoki, but the sex thing caught me a bit by surprise. I'm not complaining, just saying that I didn't see it coming.

Aww, now I feel bummed out that this manga ended. It had a great story, and the author knew how to build up suspense, but now it's over.

I really loved the ending. It had the sweet but funny light hearted nature of the rest of the manga. I also like that Rin kept her loli body, despite getting older. (I'm not a lolicon either, Rin's a lovable character no matter what body she has!)
I think it really proved that Rin and Aoki's relationship is so much deeper than appearances and age. They still joked around in the same way, despite the time passing. Loved it. Very sad to see it's over I just hope Watashiya writes something else similar!

At least they had sex. Honestly, it felt somewhat rushed towards the last chapters for some reason. The fact the Kagami didn't meat Aoki is a bit of a downer, as I liked their chemistry and interactions. The Usa x Reiji pairing at the end was adorable too by the way.

I'm not particularly into lolita's, but I don't necessarily dislike the genre. Again though, they at least had sex in the end.

(reiji was some of the reason i was immersed in a great part of the history, just to see than he can't accomplished his initial goal to marry rin... initially i hate him, but finally i forgive his perversity B-)

Honestly it was a great end but i totally agree on the Reiji and mimi thing, I hated him other than the thing about him and Rin. Also was I the only one who thaught there should have been a better end for Houin. Personally I liked her allot and would have liked to see more on her part.

the truth is the majority was waiting to see "rin-with-ai-body"... watashiya had a trolling and mischievous idea and give us a "rin-with-12-years-body"... some guys were very disappointed

...some said it was a mistake, a joke, a must-be (to end knj with a legal girl dream) ...

I think it was funny... the idea and to see a lot of annoyed people xD

I'm proud of Aoki... since the beginning B-),
in fact i sense than watashija wanted to make him the main hero of the series...

I agree with what onemore said:
"I think what she did was a big "fuck you" to all moralfags. A good thing after she seemingly indulged them with a time-skip."

Amazing the amount of controversy this has caused! I've seen c. 25-year-old youths with significant manga commentary pages dismissing the manga out of hand as evil lolicon, apparently after reading at most a few chapters. And they're normally in high moral outrage as they do the dissing.

I hate to see this puritanism of the USA spreading around the world via the Internet. Puritanism in the country tends to draw hard lines between what kind of sexual content is allowed in published matter. INSIDE the line is OK even if it's in the form of the grossest porn. (and most of our American porn is disgusting!) Outside the line is forbidden and often unlawful though it may merely allude gently to unconsummated sexual or even just romantic feeling between the forbidden lovers. It was apparent after about the first third or so of this manga that was going to be a funny and sweet romantic comedy with no forbidden sexual intercourse in it. I doubt any of those so-called "reviewers" read that far.

The Japanese historically have NOT been drawers of hard moral lines. In fact, they tend to put sexy and semi-sexy stuff into all kinds of manga and anime stories just to spice them up. This manga is an example of that distinctively Japanese approach. IMHO it worked great! The story was full of laughter and tears.

I'm afraid, as American puritanism spreads (via restrictions imposed by the part of Google that pays owners of sites to run ads), we will never see another story like it.

your fears come true. with the new law in Japan its the end for any series like knj, Watashija ends the series just in time (i finally understand her hurry to end the series, law issues :/ ), and nobody enters, nobody exits...

i think is sad but just and correct, they're too many disoriented people in this world, i hope she makes new series with ai-san and boin bodies instead of squid bodies xD

This ending was pretty good. It would have been cool to see it end with a full reunion of the main characters on Rin's birthday with Aoki telling her that her present was "little ol' me".

As for some of the gaps that could have been filled, I think they could have gone farther with Mimi and Reiji. Also, an epilogue for Kuro, other than just an interaction with Shirai, would have been cool to see.

Oh well, this ending does allow you to use your imagination to expand the ideas given.

This series is great although I have mixed feeling about the ending. I don't mind Rin being a loli although it kinda felt a bit short.Still it was very good and in general I really like anime and mangas like these (has humor but deals with sensitive issues and can be serious when it needs too) The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because I really want it to be a bit longer and show a bit more of their futures. Other than that this was a nice read.
