OMG that was the read but I hated the ending.
Those two survived... really I mean really. Best characters died one by one and the pair of lucky idiots that survived only because Kawada was a badass... why! WHY!?
Really when there was only four of them left, or maybe even slightly earlier I was rooting for Kiriyama all the way. I did believe he can lose though because Kawada was still there and it did happened okay, I get it we can't have a psycho win.
Still, I would prefer much better if psycho won rather than that useless pair. Okay maybe I am not fair, Noriko did that headshot there despite having the role of damsel in disaster, that counts but Shu... why! Why!
After Kiriyama was already down, even though it was obvious that Kawada didn't kill them, given his development, things he kept on saying and mostly !there was no panel of those two dying! . Even despite that I hoped, hoped for it to be the truth and the ending to be Kawada blowing up that ship while jumping off it like a boss. Unfortunately though that wasn't the case and that hope was pretty much hopeless but I hoped for it.
But anyway apart from that ending, it was a great read, I wouldn't say it was the best though like some here do but definitely great. (yep despite my hate on ending I really liked it).
As for my favourite character here, I was thinking about one of the three. Mimura, Kawada and Kiriyama. In the end though, I think I liked Kiriyama, the most. Why? It's because he got rid of so many damn annoying characters that I wanted to see dead. Starting with that homo stalker, many crazy girls and lastly mr. Knight in shining armour Sugimura who was just as annyoing or maybe even more then the main protag.
Thank you Kiryama, you will be remembered. Best regards to Mimura and Kawada as well!
