Lament of the Lamb Chapter 47 Discussion

I was disappointed with the ending.



I'll ignore the fact that amnesia is one of the most overused plot devices and that any self-respecting writer would at least look up amnesia and realize that it doesn't work like they think it does. Now he has no memories of the sister that loved him, falling in love and being forced to keep her at a distance, the knowledge he gained about his family, or any of the struggles he's endured. chapter 46 was a much more endearing ending, but if they didn't want kazuna to die they could have picked wrote something better than this.

I think that was a nice way to describe a glimpse of hope with the inevitable despair lingering around.

I think 46 would have fitted better with the bleakness and tone of the manga, having him survive is fine, but having him amnesia which makes him forget everything and cures him was a BS reset to just make it seem happier.

A bittersweet ending where maybe he had gone back to school and his living his life supressing it, it was said males aren't as affected he went a whole month without needing to drink blood, they already laid the ground work.



But him getting 'amnesia' due to being allergic (that is what he said at the hopsital bed) due to some medicine he took which I assume was supposed to  kill him, was just annoying. I felt the past year was rather meaningful for him, so to have it all washed away leaves a bitter taste.



I was going to score it a 7, I liked the bleak atmosphere and the characters too a degree, I did have my problems but it was a good work. I'm not sure if I am going to debunk a point off just for a shitty ending, going to let it simmer a bit return then score it.

I found the ending to be quite nice.  If anything, that the last page of chapter 46 was a bit too abrupt relative to the rest of the story, and the actual ending fits the tone of the manga better. At the very least, the supporting cast of this series deserved that much.
