| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Wow... what a beautiful and amazing last chapter. Both Habu's and Mallory's greatest triumph were fitting conclusions to this momumental manga. One of Taniguchi's best manga for sure, debating wether this is worth 9 or 10 out of 10. |

| A brilliant last chapter for a brilliant manga. Definitely one of Taniguchi's best. Everything was just top notch from the artwork to the writing. 9/10 . Too bad this series is really unknown. Tis a shame. |

| Yeah I believe Ponent Mon did the english translation recently for the last volume after finishing I was just left speechless. So inspirational and majestic. I guess it could also be that not alot of people are willing to give Taniguchi's works a try. He really is one of the best out there though. |

| Damn, the premise of this manga sounds fantastic, not to mention the art. Why are the only mangas that interest me either licensed and not available online or untranslated due to nobody knowing about them?! |
| One of the finest endings I've ever experienced in anime/manga. All the major plot elements were summarized very well. Definitely going into my top 5 manga. |
| A little late to the party. Amazing series with a great conclusion. Definitely one of my favorite manga. |
| For those interested: After Taniguchi's death, an unfinished manga called "The Millennium Forest" was published, and I picked it up in German. It has an afterword by Baku Yumemakura, who talked about his interaction with Jiro Taniguchi regarding Summit of the Gods. Yumemakura said that he really wanted Taniguchi to adapt his Summit of the Gods novel, but didn't want to ask him because he thought he is too busy. Coincidentally, Taniguchi really wanted to adapt the novel, but was too shy to ask Yumemakura. Basically, a middle-man solved this. Yumemakura made an analogy with a boy and a girl in high school who love each other but are afraid to tell each other. Now the interesting part: Taniguchi asked Yumemakura, if he is allowed to change the ending. Yumemakura was happy about this, because he regretted ending it the way he did. In the novel, it is left open whether Mallory actually reached the summit. When Yumemakura read the last volume of the manga, he teared up when he saw the picture with Mallory on the summit. He said Taniguchi "completed" his work. |
| This ending is beautiful in every way, I'm fucking left speechless. 9/10 |
| Took me months to get my hands on EN translation. Thanks to a friend, I was finally able to read it. (Translation was shit, lol) I wasn't disappointed even tho beginning is a bit off. It manages to be one the best dramas I've ever experienced. Art is top-notch. Last volumes and specifically ending was fantastic. Deserves more popularity. |
| Well that was an enjoyable read. The manga really managed to make you feel the pressures and stress that comes along with doing an activity like mountain climbing. Didn’t particularly care for the characters but they were interesting enough for this to be a pretty powerful read. |

| Finally finished this unknown manga. Decided to read after watched the movie. It might be silly, but i actually liked the movie more. (I still give 9/10 for the manga and movie). Specially everything about the last half, Habu end was way better done in the movie, also it doesn't have all that extravaganza with the girl in nepal. But Fukamachi was handled better in the manga. Also because the movie let very unclear about what was in the camera, it took me by surprise that the mangaka actually put a fully draw info that Mallory and Irvine manage to climb the everest. I want to believe too, until this day there are so much discussion about it. |
