But all that crap about nukes and stuff at the end was just confusion for confusion's sake...
And what was the military saying about electromagnetic waves? It's like the author decided to change his mind on what happened in the last volume or something...
The military nuke stuff was just further exploring the idea that humans create things to fear all the time. The manga didn't really get sidetracked by it enough for it to become a problem for me though. It was just providing some worldwide context to the Japanese disaster, I was glad for it really. Plus we got some nice zombie v soldier action.
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.
