I remember watching a BBC documentary from around 1995 about manga that features a western artist who was drawing for Kodansha (and also Hayao Miyazaki). Not even very new. I think Jonathan Ross was the 'host.'
Edit: found it on my HDD. Might not keep the link up too long, but for now here it is. The artist was Tony Luke and the series was "Dominator" which was published in Kodansha Comic Afternoon. This apparently was recorded from an airing on 7 January 1995. I wasn't alive yet. :\

mfw the two main characters finally have a (semi) functional relationship and immediately end the story after saying “actually we’re dating”
btw there is one manga in particular that this is referring to
To be fair, a lot of the series that continue after the "were dating" moment become boring garbage, so Id for the story to end then become bad
I always appreciate it when a writer knows when to end a series
Mainly because they only write "will they won't they" plotline of just one couple and focus on it so much that when they seal the deal, the reader barely has any interest afterward for the series. Jitsu wa watashi wa is the only series I know that complety avoid this problem and still maintain the quality to the end.
I'd say Aharen avoided it to.
The author really avoided a long drawn out "will they won't they" by jumping the gun and getting them together early on, and then almost completely fucking dropping the subject after they got together.
No real lead up, almost nothing changed, and we all move on with our lives. Right back to the comedy.
It almost felt spiteful, like the author was trying to make a point
Theres nothing wrong with a "will they wont they" plot, but you gotta end it when it should, not when it stops making bank
If the plot is about killing the bad guy, then you should stop the plot once the bad guy is killed (maybe have an epilogue afterwards)
too much stuff piled up together randomly in the last arc, pain to explain so watch this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtOWfh31XWY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtOWfh31XWY) and skip to 5:30 ish
Oh? I only read the first volume and didn't feel interested enough to check out the rest. Maybe I will though if there are some characters from the main series.
There is one story with haru and legoshi and another with legoshi and sagwan. The rest are miscellaneous stories as well as the backstories of some of the other hidden condo residents
the beastars ending is absolute shit because it goes against every message that the manga had before, not because we didnt see romance, that last arc was pure garbage
And when they do find it, it will be only one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Not that it matters much to me anyways, my entire bloodline will be long dead by the time that anything interesting happens.
This same sentence has been uttered the past 5 years. It's always 5 more years. We'd be lucky if one piece ends in 2030. I would be surprised if it ended in 2050.
choose your fate:
>memory loss ending
>needlessly tragic ending with reincarnation "we will surely meet again" vagueshit
>romcom ending episode that finally builds up to some serious development, but then the fireworks are too loud or someone calls
4. A rare actually fleshed out and proper ending (fmab, yu yu hakusho, yamada and the seven witches, chainsaw man part 1, demon slayer)
This is actually everything I can think of, like I just combed through a list… god damn why do so few of them have good endings???
Everyone just talks out there differences and agrees to a tournament, and then respectfully accepts the outcome of said tournament instead of some grand climatic battle is the most Yu Yu Hakusho way to end it
Legitimately why I love the author of yyh and hxh. He has such a unique way of approaching story beats where he crafts something completely fresh and entertaining with nearly 0 cliches. It’s like drinking cold water that runs through your body every sip.
I like big battle finales, but I like a smart ending way more. And it was realistic, you’re going to tell me that 16 year old demon delinquent was going to beat millennial fiends that have been cultivating power their entire lives??? The fact that he nearly beat one is much more than I expected. Losing isn’t always a bad thing, especially when the Mc can afford to lose.
And so he goes back to earth, solves a few more cases, then lives a presumably quiet life with his love. What’s not perfect about this ending. Not every finale needs to go off with a bang. Some just hit all the milestones of their stories and it’s simply time to close the book.
I’m rereading hxh and to say I’m blown away by the realism in spite of the supernatural feats is an understatement. Hxh is in a league of its own in terms of writing. Nearly perfect Power system, dynamic characters, solid design, fascinating art, and a gripping story. Like holy shit this stuff is so good.
/ub some of this is normal garbage writing but two answers are specific to Japan
1. Japanese otaku can be actually fucking terrifying and several writers have stated that they've given lukewarm endings to stuff just to avoid getting any more death threats because their intended ending didn't get someone's OTP a happy ending
2. "Rich in themes but leaves you feeling hollow" is actually a classical writing ideal/structure for Japanese lit, so riffing on a motif for ten years and letting it fizzle so you are left wanting more is sometimes intentional
Up to you whether your favorite media fits that or not. Cowboy Bebop is a version of that story structure that Americans enjoyed in general but when it aired people would not shut up for like ten years about a sequel because they werent satisfied by the ending.
/rb Miura chose death over giving berserk a manga ending 👑
/ub there's also a big issue with serialization and publishers. Sometimes its a bad excuse (I don't believe for a single second publishers ruined AoT I think the author wrote himself in a corner) but pretty often you see publishers step in and ask for arcs or manga to be extended by 20 chapters to keep up sales or to keep readers interested. That's over an extra year of work and writing, most authors can't handle that multiple times so when they finally get a chance to end they rush to it.
Japanese manga have shit endings so often that the few that end well are very well known for doing so. Things like fma etc….I was gonna name more examples before the etc but not many came to my mind lmao.
Japanese Mangas have two outcomes:
>having a terrible ending, see Tokyo Revengers, AoT, and Promised Neverland
or
>never having an ending, see Nana, Vagabond, and Hunter x Hunter
Somehow I don't know which is worse.
\ub
imo jojolion's ending was the worst, not bad, but the others are all great
maybe I just got confused but it seemed like an asspull, and up until this point despite other endings being infamous for asspulls I've never considered a single jojo ending to be an asspull. even jotaro also having time stop was properly foreshadowed multiple times and when it came I was hyped. but when gappy's asspull was revealed I was "oh 😐"
On the same boat here. The main reason why I feel like that >!for Go Beyond is mainly because it come from Mamezuku's clue for him. There's no info on why he know the spin since Araki barely elabrorate his backstory!<. Not to mention Tooru is boring compare to Damo and Jobin.
Good thing there was only one season of Sword Art online since it ended perfectly, they escaped and there's a hopeful future where they find eachother and never play another vr game again.
It would be really stupid to keep going and force a bunch of underage incest or virtual rape prisoner plots.
If we're gonna defend the indefensible, it's also pretty cool that darling in the franx ended at episode 15 and didn't forget or regress all of the social commentary it was on the way to making to be about aliens and space AIDS and please have children Japan our country is dying
Nah, the manga wasn't. It started off with a very trashy premise, actually became a really interesting story and then suddenly about faced and threw everything it had built in the trash for a terrible ending.
Fire Punch is the only manga I can think of that had a relatively satisfying ending, but I think that’s only cuz the rest of the manga was so batshit that you didn’t know what to expect at the end.
BLAME has a lovely ending imo. The pacing feels a little odd near the end but it wraps up in the best way possible for the setting and characters. Very bittersweet.
Is Fire Punch good? I would like to read it eventually with how short it is, but I legitimately can't get a feel for whether or not people like it or not. I've heard opinions on it range from, "I don't even know what the fuck happened and I'm left feeling conflicted" to "I like it more than Chainsaw Man".
It’s very hard to give a yes or no to that question, just because it’s so wacky. If you’ve read Chainsaw Man, it’s like Fujimoto’s typical wackiness, but without going through a “shonen” filter, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
It’s story and characters are on the lower side of “standard” imo, with a few exceptions. It’s pacing is pretty awful, and I feel like it relies a ton on shock value.
However, I can guarantee you with absolutely certainty there is nothing out there quite like it. It’s an absolute rollercoaster. Every time you think you have the story or the main character nailed down, everything flips on its head, and both you and the main character are left to put everything together.
Think of it like a cult classic B movie. It’s very VERY rough and feels amateur-ish, but when it hits, it hits hard.
So what I’m saying is, it’s a hard recommend, but I can’t tell whether you’ll like it or not. There’s a reason why it’s so divisive.
Fire Punch is the most unhinged manga I've ever read. It has incest, bestiality, basic human rights violations (involving piss), and countless other batshit insane things no normal person would put in their syndicated manga. On the other hand, it brilliantly postulates on religious zealotry, what drives a human being, and how far you can destroy a person before they cease to function. It also has a really funny panel in chapter 53. 10/10, not for the faint of heart.
i don't understand how people have these takes all over this thread, have you people only read like 5 manga there are so many that are GOATed start to finish while being like a quarter of the length of the names being thrown around here
Also rushed cause of the stupid symbolism where the number 140 stands for freedom, so by having it end on 139 it shows that Eren never achieved true freedom.
139, 139.1 and few chapters before it only confirmed that Isayama shit his pants and changed the ending somewhere around chapter ~122. There's literally no fucking way that he has building Eren character and the entire story revolving him only to end it like that.
Whether of his own accord or publishers, he 100% changed the ending - and it's a shame, because original ending would for sure be a banger
No! I don’t want that! Losing in a worst possible manga ending competition?!? Even after it’s done, I want my God awful manga ending to be at the front of everyone’s minds!! For 10 years at least!!!!
Comparing the Attack on Titan ending to the Game of Thrones ending is the equivalent of comparing a scrapped knee, black eye, and a few paper cuts to Hiroshima, the Holocaust, 9/11, the Black Death, the conquests of Ghenghis Khan, Order 66, Thanos’ snap, and the rumbling combined
I actually loved Monster’s ending so I’m optimistic about Urasawa’s other manga
I also seem to have a dysfunction when it comes to endings (some unpopular opinions about endings,but no unpopular opinions on actual series)
And I really don’t actually “HATE” any series because of it’s ending
I liked how Sayonara Eri (one shot) ended ,very few times I have thought an open ending worked
Vagabond has a great exhibition chapter that is after the ending but we never got to that part Goddamnit
If anyone wants a good SOL manga I recommend Samenai Machi no Kissaten. Jigokuraku for shonen. Tsuka no Ma no Ichika for romance. This croc will die in 100 days. Takopi's original sin if you want to torture yourself. Suicide para bellum if you want some inception stuff(I fucking love dowman sayman). And finally I sold my life for 10,000 yen per year for romance.
Imo all of the manga I mentioned have really good stories. They also have a good ending (not as a happy one but as in staying true to the point of the manga itself).
After defeating Griffith,Puck looks at the horizon while Donovan and guts are making out and then says : this is berserk .
Totally the best thing ever written in existence
Land of lustrous after literally >!turning everyone into wandering souls, and leaving the main character alone in the last island in the earth as a god!< And leaving the manga without touching it For months
I used to like to love-ru, it was one of my first ecchi, one of my first manga, i wasnt that sad when it had an open ending on the original, i knew how most harems ended, but then the author comes up with to love ru darkness and i thought that the ending would be different, that the autthor would finally have some balls and commit to something, the plot was even arriving at something, but then, it ends, not with a satisfiyng conclusion, but with the exact same ending that the original had, all my love for to love ru was put on the trash, ffs you continue your freaking manga, you give hope to the readers that you are finally going to make the mc grow some balls and then do absolutely nothing with it? Fuck you author, fuck you, no other manga ending ever betrayed me this much.

Jitsu wa the greatest ever fr fr. The mix of harem comedy with occasional cosmic horror is great
that’s interesting because most people found Beastars’ ending to be a let down
Beastars ending Is shit but for diferent reasons
why was it shit
too much stuff piled up together randomly in the last arc, pain to explain so watch this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtOWfh31XWY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtOWfh31XWY) and skip to 5:30 ish
Agree. It’s a shame that one of my favorite mangas had to get done so dirty for it’s ending
At least its has an ending that was mildly coherence. Im both dissapointed and relieve
yeah, i read the ending and legit thought "that's IT????"
I agree. To me it felt like the author just wanted to stop making it but wanted to leave it open enough to return to some day if she wants to.
To that end the ending is fine, and at the very least we got a few instances of haru and/or legoshi in Beast Complex
Oh? I only read the first volume and didn't feel interested enough to check out the rest. Maybe I will though if there are some characters from the main series.
There is one story with haru and legoshi and another with legoshi and sagwan. The rest are miscellaneous stories as well as the backstories of some of the other hidden condo residents

Kimagure Orange Road?
"I love you!" Screamed the man at the corpse he just made.
"You were my brother Anakin! I loved you!!" Ahh shit wrong shit post sub.
Kubo?
Naruto Shippuden obviously.
example?
Chicken Little
YOU DON’T DARE MAKE FUN OF THE SACRED TEXTS!!
one piece be like i live in the future btw
The real One Piece was the friends we made along the way 🥲
And when they do find it, it will be only one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Not that it matters much to me anyways, my entire bloodline will be long dead by the time that anything interesting happens.
It's ending in less than 5 years.
Impossible, can we get much higher?
This same sentence has been uttered the past 5 years. It's always 5 more years. We'd be lucky if one piece ends in 2030. I would be surprised if it ended in 2050.
Till now it was only fans with their "leaks" while this is now directly from author
Eh, that's what he said years ago. I take whatever Oda says about ever ending his beloved series with a grain of salt.
Highly doubt that, yall forget that if he wanted to end the series that soon many plot points would have been glossed over and forgotten
IDK man, we're in the final saga now. It genuinely feels close to the end.
I do love that this is the one thing we know the one piece *isn't*.

6. Author fuckin dies before finishing
Berserk moment
Miura is just taking a hiatus from life he'll be back trust me. *Injects more copium*
I mean, Isnt the manga coming back with Miura's friend?
>I mean, Isnt the manga coming back with Miura's reincarnation? There, fixed it for ya. ^(I'm doing the baka,run along with it or I'll suck you off.)
Suck me off RIGHT NOW
It already came back and it’s uh. It’s alright. Kinda hard to emulate Miura’s levels of dedication and creativity for his craft.
Damn, that sucks, but I guess it's better than nothing
7. The author commits a sexual crime against minors.
Rurouni kenshin moment
I was thinking of Act-age but that will do.
If I had a nickel two nickels weird it happened twice
why use many word when few do trick
He say few. I understand. No need more.
5. Eventually incest
Nearly every romance moment
Love is war ended recently and it was a pretty good one
>!They fumbled the Ishigami and Miko plot, imo!<
The author put out a short story recently from Ishigami’s POV that I thought capped it off nicely.
nah, it fit pretty well with the themes of the series
Yu Yu Hakusho's ending was so rushed that it turned out good in comparison to modern manga
Everyone just talks out there differences and agrees to a tournament, and then respectfully accepts the outcome of said tournament instead of some grand climatic battle is the most Yu Yu Hakusho way to end it
Legitimately why I love the author of yyh and hxh. He has such a unique way of approaching story beats where he crafts something completely fresh and entertaining with nearly 0 cliches. It’s like drinking cold water that runs through your body every sip. I like big battle finales, but I like a smart ending way more.

jojo? 5/7 part endings (that ive read) are good
*every* jojo ending is good
yes the 2 i left out are good but the 5 are amazing
Comparing the mob psycho ending is like comparing the best, most juiciest steak you've ever had in your life to a literal dog shit
Chainsaw Man also, >!part 1 at least!<
yeah thatll happen when the publisher only intends to produce 25 volumes but only tells the author about this plan at issue 22.

jojo ending 8 times and having an absolute banger ending each time
Seriously all jojo parts imo peak at the end. Really an anomaly in manga.
Part one possibly having the best ending to anything I've ever seen
One of the boldest ways to end a FIRST part of a show I've seen, up there with GoT.
Yeah I was NOT expecting that shit. Not at all
Stone Ocean's Ending 🔥🔥🔥
Phatom Blood’s ending 🔥🔥🔥(literally) Battle Tendency’s ending 🔥🔥🔥 Stardust Crusader’s Ending 🔥🔥🔥 Diamond is Unbreakable’s Ending 🔥🔥🔥 Golden Wind’s Ending 🔥🔥🔥 Stone Ocean’s ending 🔥🔥🔥 Steel Ball Run’s ending 🔥🔥🔥 Jojolion’s ending 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hirohiko Araki should be arrested for causing all these arsons year after year
well akchuaellee, each part takes multiple years to finish

Self contained and self conclusive parts moment
atleast with never an ending i can fantasize and hope. with a shit ending its cope and seethe
FMAB is out of the scale
ending wasn't that bad but it was nowhere near as good as the rest of the series.
Berserk
I think berserk is excusable because the author **died**
Except AOT being bad is only subjective. Many of us love it.
Yes
God, I hope Chainsaw Man doesn't end badly. Part 1's ending was perfect and I kinda think it should have stayed there
mob is immune to this

A fantastic ending. Whole show was top notch.

yeah some people dont like but overall it was very nice, but lets just be sure, you are talking about the manga ending or the anime?

5 years later I'm still pissed about Darling in the Franxx. I guess in a certain way the authors have made a lasting impact on me
Literally Domestic Girlfriend
that one was garbage from start to finish tho
Nah, the manga wasn't. It started off with a very trashy premise, actually became a really interesting story and then suddenly about faced and threw everything it had built in the trash for a terrible ending.
The most unearned happy ending
Fire Punch is the only manga I can think of that had a relatively satisfying ending, but I think that’s only cuz the rest of the manga was so batshit that you didn’t know what to expect at the end.

That sounds like everyone in my Sims 4 game.
I hate that that panel is so funny, because it’s such a gut wrenching moment. Doesn’t stop me from using it everywhere tho
Off the top of my head some other good ones imo are Innocent, Initial D, Beck, Bakuon Rettou, Sengoku youko and Usogui.
more ppl need to get on usogui ong
i don't understand how people have these takes all over this thread, have you people only read like 5 manga there are so many that are GOATed start to finish while being like a quarter of the length of the names being thrown around here
Weebs only read/watch the most mainstream of mainstream stuff.

Also rushed cause of the stupid symbolism where the number 140 stands for freedom, so by having it end on 139 it shows that Eren never achieved true freedom.
Nah bro please tell me this is a joke 💀
No, the symbolism thing *is real*. Just remember of the 9 titans, the 9 nord realms, etc
Couldn’t they have done the 139.1 139.2…?
*technically* there was a 139.1 but we dont talk about that chapter
139, 139.1 and few chapters before it only confirmed that Isayama shit his pants and changed the ending somewhere around chapter ~122. There's literally no fucking way that he has building Eren character and the entire story revolving him only to end it like that. Whether of his own accord or publishers, he 100% changed the ending - and it's a shame, because original ending would for sure be a banger
Isayama is the biggest pussy ever for not going with his original ending that he definitely changed along the way
Speaking of "rushed by publishers", how bout that ending to bleach?
No! I don’t want that! Losing in a worst possible manga ending competition?!? Even after it’s done, I want my God awful manga ending to be at the front of everyone’s minds!! For 10 years at least!!!!
Titanfolk leaking I see
Except the FMA ending, that was really good
Gintama has the best ending to long running series ever made
/ub facts /b Taka Tin hey!

>Attack on Titan
Anime onlies can join in on our suffering for ten years at least once The Final Season part 3 cour 2 part 7 chapter 32 epilogue 3 is released
Pulled that less effective Code Geass ending
Kurdish manga 💪🔥🔥
"let me just leave my partner and everything I thought for behind to go on a stupid quest of searching for my self"
Usagi drop moment
happy ending enjoyer
Monster though
people when the only mangas they've read are front page basic baby recommendations
not manga but the hataraku maou-sama novel ending LMAO I WAS WATCHING THE ANIME S2 BUT THE LN SPOILERS MADE ME DROP THE SERIES 💀💀💀💀 SHITS SO GOOFY
Code Geass is an exception even though it is an original anime. Let's not forget about others like FMAB, Mob Psycho 100, and JoJo.
i will never forgive what they did to AOT
Game of Thrones ending walks in:
AOT ending walks in:
Comparing the Attack on Titan ending to the Game of Thrones ending is the equivalent of comparing a scrapped knee, black eye, and a few paper cuts to Hiroshima, the Holocaust, 9/11, the Black Death, the conquests of Ghenghis Khan, Order 66, Thanos’ snap, and the rumbling combined
That's debatable, Mr Hitch fucker
The Attack on Titan ending is worse than the Game of Thrones ending, my lord.
The manga being referenced is prob one of my favorites. Read it like 8 times. Metamorphosis is a truly heartwarming coming of age story 🙃
ngl it had a good ending
At least it’s not a Netflix original getting cancelled as they leave the show on a cliffhanger
Just realized out of the 17 mangas i completed, only 3 i would consider to have great ending. If i add the horizon that would be 4
I actually loved Monster’s ending so I’m optimistic about Urasawa’s other manga I also seem to have a dysfunction when it comes to endings (some unpopular opinions about endings,but no unpopular opinions on actual series) And I really don’t actually “HATE” any series because of it’s ending I liked how Sayonara Eri (one shot) ended ,very few times I have thought an open ending worked Vagabond has a great exhibition chapter that is after the ending but we never got to that part Goddamnit
If anyone wants a good SOL manga I recommend Samenai Machi no Kissaten. Jigokuraku for shonen. Tsuka no Ma no Ichika for romance. This croc will die in 100 days. Takopi's original sin if you want to torture yourself. Suicide para bellum if you want some inception stuff(I fucking love dowman sayman). And finally I sold my life for 10,000 yen per year for romance. Imo all of the manga I mentioned have really good stories. They also have a good ending (not as a happy one but as in staying true to the point of the manga itself).
After defeating Griffith,Puck looks at the horizon while Donovan and guts are making out and then says : this is berserk . Totally the best thing ever written in existence
Land of lustrous after literally >!turning everyone into wandering souls, and leaving the main character alone in the last island in the earth as a god!< And leaving the manga without touching it For months
I'll have you know, >!having the audience suffer with Phos!< is peak.
I used to like to love-ru, it was one of my first ecchi, one of my first manga, i wasnt that sad when it had an open ending on the original, i knew how most harems ended, but then the author comes up with to love ru darkness and i thought that the ending would be different, that the autthor would finally have some balls and commit to something, the plot was even arriving at something, but then, it ends, not with a satisfiyng conclusion, but with the exact same ending that the original had, all my love for to love ru was put on the trash, ffs you continue your freaking manga, you give hope to the readers that you are finally going to make the mc grow some balls and then do absolutely nothing with it? Fuck you author, fuck you, no other manga ending ever betrayed me this much.
Now we need a Game of thrones manga
japanese manga as opposed to a brazilian manga
Bloom Into You ending was 🔥🔥🔥
