Full Moon wo Sagashite Chapter 30 Discussion

Terrible ending, just like the anime. They could've had a happy ending with Takuto still dead easily enough. They could even have had a happy ending with Mitsuki dying, since she'd lived out her happiness in the past year. If they wanted to make it extra happy, they could even have her walking off into the afterlife with Eichi and Takuto. As it was...crap.

It's most likely part of hospital procedure to keep it short for ease of operations near the head and such, just like how its part of procedure to shave pubic hair when operations are required near the abdomen and lower.



Yeah, this is what I'm suspecting...and like EW I didn't know that. XD;

What're you, CRAZY? XD You can't draw a shoujo manga like that. Main characters never die permanently in shoujo manga, dummy. :p And NO, you couldn't have a happy ending with any of those options. When you look at the big picture, nothing is happy about death. Death is tragic and little girls, the target audience don't want tragedy.



Deep Love is shoujo, and almost everyone dies in that. It's not like you can't have good tragic shoujo.



I've never heard of it, but if that's true, its target audience mostly likely is older than FM's (9 to 14) and they would handle it easier. (Though I still wouldn't) I don't like true tragedy, man. And I'm an ADULT. It depresses the crap out of me. D: I read shoujo manga because the sweet couples and light-hearted endings make me happy. Seeing the endings to anime like Air's or Code Geass's just make me want to cut myself...



I don't see why you're complaining about this happy ending, because of that, actually. AND DON'T MAIN CHARACTERS DIE ENOUGH AS IT IS!?  It's much easier to find series with bittersweet, tragic, or messed-up endings as opposed to truly happy ones, so just accept that it's a nice happy ending FOR ONCE, huh? XD



[edit] Okay, I researched Deep Love and it is categorized as an ADULT series. There's your answer. Just as I expected....Full Moon is not an adult series so that's why author chose the ending she did.

who would think this is crap???!!! i mean this is arina-san's most famous manga yet! All these emotions in the manga, they make u feel sad, happy, and makes u want to laugh and cry.Sometimes they really make u feel what life is(sorry, i have a philosophical mind) besides, even though i really like eichi-kun, i still love takuto way more-------!!! i think that the anime sucks though( i am sorry if u find that offensive) because mereko leaves them forever(even if that is a good thing), izumi sucks totally, and u don't even know if takuto and mitsuki get together.

----------------------------------------

                        normally, I would hate deus ex machina endings like this but I'm so glad this had a happy ending. I would be sad forever if it didn't.



I feel kind of sorry for Eichi though

who would think this is crap???!!!

A schmuck with no taste. :'D

They do. It's in the drama CD. :'D

Now that Eichi's soul isn't bound to Mitsuki anymore, that means Mitsuki won't be able to see Meroko and Izumi anymore, am I right? :( I wonder if people thought about this..



I think the ending could have been better. but I'm still glad. Like others said, I couldn't bear it if it had a sad ending. My mind is at peace after I finish the manga :) Probably because everyone ends up with someone and no one ends up wandering alone forever.

To my surprise, this time i finished the manga, I cried because of the last scene with Eichi. I never really cared that much for Eichi (don't dislike him, but also not my fave), but this suddendly really got me.



10/10 + fav.  For both manga and the anime. Always has been, always will be :')
