The ending was not one of the worst that I have read, but it was still a bit disappointing. Even looking back the past several chapters beforehand it seems to be a mess plot wise. However, I would not tack that just to the ending, I found the series as a whole to be eclectic at times. It's sad that Yoshimori's mother had to be sacrificed, but I did not mind it as it gave her a fulfillment and purpose to her life and helping people. Perhaps the main problem I had was that they sealed Kurasamori. Yes he got a castle and akayashi and fake people to keep him company. However emphasis on the 'fake' part. All he really wanted was to be with people . . . But the last few pages were satisfying because Tokine and Yoshimori were together and he mentions that now that Kurasomori is sealed, they are free to pursue their own dreams rather than being bound to their family duty. Overall, this is just one of those endings where you get mixed feelings.
