NHK ni Youkoso! Chapter 40 Discussion

I liked this ending. It seemded to hint a lot more to the possibility of Satou and Misaki to get into a serious relationship at some point. I also liked the fact that the manga didn't rush things as much as the anime and some events are just more logical in the manga.

Misaki is really different in the manga compared to the anime though. I don't know which version I like best, but I can say that I truly enjoyed both ^^.



What I didn't get though, was that Satou totally ditched Misaki in the

housedemolish scene. Even though he had decided 1 min ago that he would die for Misaki's happiness.



And them saying that they hate each other, that wasn't true was it? Because, that was sort of random all of a sudden.



Also this -->

''Even if you don't love me, I want to be near you.'' --> Misaki

And then Satou decides to go back home? THE F*CK.





But as I said I still enjoyed this ending a lot.

what I learned from this manga:



1) all the characters have mental issues



2) the world is cruel ==> YOU DON'T SAY ?



I also think the "It was a joke!" after an overdramatic situation was overused in this manga. It was funny the first time, but Jesus find something else...

I reread this and decided to give it a higher rating than before. It rushes through a lot of events that the anime spends more time developing (like the "offline-meeting"), but makes up for that by being much more unconventional, more severe. Every single character is also completely insane and likely to run out of town, have an affair, or jump out of a window on a passing whim — which is hilarious.



I prefered the anime's final episode atmospherically, but I can appreciate the manga's approach too. It was fun to read and kept me interested for its duration.

Hitomi > Misaki (Tho she was never inline to be with Satou)....  Rather interesting manga at first then, ya..  Took me a wile to finish.

I'm somewhat unsatisfied with the ending, they should've kissed or something, I mean the ending wasn't completely bad, but wasn't very good either. However, I do wish that the anime did incorporate more of the elements from the manga into there, wouldn't been more fun to watch.

This manga honestly was not very good, there were some parts that hit hard, like when the MC was gonna jump. But I thought this would be depressing, but it was just kinda lame. And the ending was very confusing, not a fan of wishy washy ending, either be tragic or be happy go lucky. Overall I do not recommend reading.

Horrible pacing towards the end. Often would jump around without any proper transition or warning.



What I hated most is how the characters would have some huge epiphany and a giant monologue sermon to go with it, and then they'd immediately revert back to their previous state of mind or even worse. I suppose it's realistic for people to fall back into old habits, especially with someone as weak-willed as the protagonist, but it just felt like I was being duped after the 4th time.

I can safely say I prefer the Anime.



I'll probably read the Light Novel soon and from looking at one or two pages I can see that the Anime was probably the more faithful adaptation which I'm thankful for.



The Manga seemed to be trying its best to make the characters less likable.



Why did they make it so that the abuse Misaki suffered as a child was just a lie as well as her parent's deaths?



Why did they bring Nanako back in after Yamazaki broke it off with her so dramatically, only to make her turn out to be a lesbian who was just fucking with him for shits and giggles?
