Karin Chapter 58 Discussion

I enjoyed the ending alot. They got married and from the after story extra chapters, it seems like they enjoy a happy life and arent completely poor, more like lower middle class. Even though i am kinda sad about her memory being changed i dont think of it as that sad.

I´m so glad to be not the only one bothered by the memory loss. It was completely irrelevant, everything was resolved. Also it doesn´t add anything to the story because it ends 4 pages afterward anyways.

[Rant]



Pretty much the worst ending of any story I've ever read. It's been some years now since I've put volume 14 away, utterly disgusted. Never experienced any story that impacted my mood as negatively as this heap of trash. It spits in the face of its characters and on the intelligence of the readers.



Putting this amnesia on Karin out of nowhere for a completely asinine reason was just the most stupid thing I've ever read. What was that even for? Drama?

A fate worse than death for Karin (if we can even call that mentally screwed individual still Karin, because your memories define you as a person in a substantial manner) and Kenta forced to live with this emotional invalid for the rest of his life, a girl that doesn't even understand why she is subconsciously depressed for the rest of her life. Forced to live with a girl that in essence isn't even the girl he fell in love with. How cruel can you be? And for what reason? For a gratuitous egomaniac decision by her so called "loving" family. You can see the terror in Karin's eyes as she realizes what they intend to do to her, the ultimate betrayal. Robbing her of herself, her dignity as a person and of the family she loved. But hey, at least her family can feel happy now, knowing that her hollow puppet of a daughter can now live "happily ever after", aren't they wonderful and loving for their self-sacrifice? No?

Her life was going good at that point but they had to come and ruin it for her and Kenta for the most stupid reason ever.....



Honestly, I don't know how hard the author had to hit her head against the table to have this shit pour out of her head. The ending isn't even bittersweet, it's just bitter and unnecessarily cruel. It's as if anyone who moves abroad and away from their family at some point in their life would be better off just completely forgetting about them forever and not being able to visit them ever again. That's the message the story sends. And by comparison with someone who moves abroad, Karin would have been even better off, because she wouldn't even live far away from her family, the only difference would be that her family is nocturnal, wow, what a deal-breaker, she could never have lived happily with Kenta while knowing that her family sleeps during the day.....



Karin is the manga that made me stop buying manga before they're finished because I felt (and still feel) so emotionally cheated by how incompetent of an ending this was. It shits on everything that happened before (pretty much all of which I loved, otherwise this wouldn't have impacted me at all).





Lastly, I'm not one to hate on sad endings in principle, but the way this was executed was just inexcusable to me. And yeah, I know it's just a story and I'm not losing sleep over it or anything (not anymore :P ), but thinking about it always awakes these emotions inside of me and as I said, if I hadn't cared as much about the characters as I did, I wouldn't have felt this strongly about how stupid this ending was. Glad the anime was produced before this crap was finished. I haven't found any conclusive info about the ending of the novel, but it seems like the author there went with the original crap ending as (correct me if I'm wrong, please, I would LOVED to be wrong there). [/Rant]

The ending was great and not expectable and I like it! Kinda bittersweet but it brought true happiness for Kenta and Karin's family.



And I like the way how Kanon/Sophia tried to steal her father's kiss in afterstory, hehe ^^ (I guess she can't awaken as Pushuke without that kiss to give her the power Kenta has sealed inside him)



Great run, great manga!

The manga was great, but the ending was really disappointing. Erasing Karin's memories is like erasing her whole existence. The reason she and Usui started dating was because of her being a vampire. All the experiences that they had together had to do with the secret. Making her forget her family (they're the best part of this manga, esp. Anju <3) is just mean and unfair. It just doesn't make sense. Who cares if she's a human now...? That's no reason to do that. She wouldn't be who she is without them. Ughhhhhhh it made me so upset >_< I loved seeing afterstory stuff, but I wanted to see Kanon (Karin's daughter) meet her family ;_;

I currently own all the novels in Japanese, and have read a bit of #7 and #8 and they're quite good. Reverse trap vampire, vampire hunting scientists, Henry's illegitimate son, sexy cheerleader Karin, lesbians, tsundere girl, love triangles, incest... the novels have everything. I'm not joking, haha.

Omg now I want to read this so bad.

I have to say, this was one of the most enjoyable endings I have read from a manga in a while. We got to see Karin and Kenta have a happy ever after finale, and to make it not so predictable, they erased Karin's memory of her being a vampire.



I think it was well thought out and well executed. Despite it being very sad that she forgot that she was a vampire and she'll never remember her family, I think that was a smart way to end it. This way she can live a normal human life, the ending doesn't seem so predictable, and LET ME TELL EVERYONE, ITS A WAY BETTER FINALE THAN MOST ROMANCE COMEDY MANGAS.  ***cough*** cough*** school rumble.***

Ah np :P.



Warning some spoilers will be in it about the Anime.

But I have to say that the manga was far better than the anime. Altrough I really hated the erase memery part. But the anime just left so many things unanswered

and it sucked that the family got shot but than a few minutes later  just stand up again.



At first it was a bit weird reading the manga after the anime but the manga is far better :P



Overall Karin rules xD and yes I also cried at the end :'O



Hahaha, I'm glad someone at least think the same way as I do x) <3

Yup, Karin really rules right, and the "Resurrection" part was really awkward it's actually the worst part in the anime...so disappointing ending..
