Some parts of the story are repetitive. But the whole I idea of it is chilling.

Kinda sad for the cliff hangar tho.

Way too many timeskips. I imagine this could've been amazing if they just stuck with the 1st timeline.

Feeling conflicted after reading the final chapter. Ending was ????. Overall 9/10. Moving onto 21st Century boys.

The whole time I was reading this I simply didn't want it to end. Got my wish I suppose. Ending was bold enough to say but wait, there's more! Now I'll be chasing after the sequel, 21st Century Boys, like a lost puppy. Can't wait to uncover more of the mystery and hopefully get some answers.

Ah an awesome end to a great manga. Im so happy Kanna and Kenji finally met again.

It was good manga but people saying it was amazing ? I don't understand. The last 50 chapters seemed like a rushed mess.and Urasawa introduced that secret new friend who was pissed at Kenji for a stupid reason.



It was really unneccessary and kinda ruined the manga as a whole



7/10. Before the second timeskip, it was the best intrigue and thriller manga. Sadakiyo's story and the mystery behind Fukubei was amazing but it went downhill

This manga started off great - intriguing mysteries, interesting characters, hints that there is a deeper truth we're only scratching the surface of - but then once the readers are hooked it's time for papa Urasawa to relax and get paid. Enjoy watching him throw every last bit of world- and character-building into the trash just so he can drag this shit on for another 100 chapters with increasingly desperate cliffhangers whose resolution falls flat - if they get resolved at all. My favorite one of these is the end of a chapter that's like "AND THEN HE SAW SOMETHING... THAT COULD NOT EXIST IN THIS WORLD!!!" and then next chapter it's some dumb shit like a child's body with an adult's head on it. It's not clear whether he ever had a satisfying ending planned at any point but it sure as hell isn't what he delivered.
