Dragon Head Chapter 89 Discussion *spoilers beware*

Beatnik said:
The entire last couple chapters were just plain ridiculous and just added in a bunch of loose ends that weren't tied up at the finish.



Really, I'm really pissed I wasted about a week and a half of my like on this manga now...



Eh?  What loose ends?  Either the kids die or they somehow survive.  What other loose ends are there in that scenario?  I'd rather just leave them there under that concrete cover happy to be together in the face of death and misery, than the author wrapping everything with a nice fake bow.



The ending, and those last panels, was actually pretty good, I thought.  At the end of the day, humans will not give up hope and cave in to fear.  They'll rebuild and plough on as always, just...with a gigantic volcano where Tokyo used to be.



Not with the characters, all that was clear, but with the country and planet.  There were so many questions left unanswered about what really exactly happened and why, which was the entire reason I was reading anyway since the characters were such worthless pieces of human filth I stopped caring about them in any capacity within the first 10 chapters, that it made the time spent on this manga completely worthless.

WTF. That's it?

I belive that none.

There's are rivers of lava running deep undergroud the whole planet. In Dragon Head, the lava rivers surfaced.

I believe it's simply nature's work.

It has happened before ... if I'm not mistaken ... a volcano surfacing where there didn't use to be one before.



second it. that huge cloud of ash was definitely a volcano work. and black rain too. if it was nukes they would die or suffer from poisoning, but they didn't. and that hole was cause all the lava supporting it changed direction and Fuji just collapsed. and in respect that Japan is an earthquake zone it easily spread all through the country.

the more puzzling thing is the source of those strange supplies and experiments. and why rescue forces spoke fluent Japanese??? o_0

Idk why I didn't drop it earlier

5/10

Eh, quite a terrible ending to a mediocre manga.

It's a good series, but I just didn't like it that much. Characters were hard to relate to and I felt like it dragged on. Plus, the ending was such a let down. Definitely has its moments though. Great foreshadowing and art.

So, did they die or not? Actually we aren't sure about this. Theoretically... It'd be hard to survive such a thing, but on the other hand, they didn't show them dying, and his last words, "I don't know how this new world will be but it'll be a world full of beauty" (something like that) are kind of confusing.



Anyhow, I gave it a 5/10. Well, the characters weren't great (even if I became attached to Ako and Teru towards the end), many moments were annoying, I didn't really like the art (even if I appreciated that it changes from the usual nowadays art), the dragon head explication was farfetched ... It was so so.

Cant believe i've wasted 7 hours to read this piece of sh*t

I really wish the story elaborated more on the medicated odd-jobs. Or the 'dragon heads'.

Totally obscure. The ending is probably the worst ending I've ever read. Ending spontaneously and not answering any questions that were created by the manga really isn't satisfactory. Kind of feels like the manga lost funding or something and couldn't continue or something. I wouldn't say it was a waste of time to read this manga, I just really wish that there were answers to the questions that I have about the plot-line, especially because there's too much left to speculation. :I

I really liked it. Mostly the first 3 and last 3 volumes. I don't know why people be bitching about the ending. Obviously Mochizuki was writing a psychological thriller story... its about the journey and messages, not the end. And holy shit, for all those people bashing the ending... how would you have wanted it to end huh? like seriously. Dragon Head was a great page turner. And no reads 10 volumes of something they arent enjoying... so for all you who finished it, obviously you enjoyed the journey, so don't hate just because the ending isnt tied up in a pretty little bow for your sake

I don´t like the ending, they all probably died out there... I was totaly Nimura and Ako fan, he should leave alone, so they could be together...

But I gave it a 10... great manga

yeah the whole medicine story was really weird, it was already strange that the majority of the survivors were nuts, but it went overboard with the brain surgery kids.



otherwhise it was really intense and thrilling
