I worked on a Gantz site at one time with group of people when Osaka arc was starting and we were full of passion because it was shaping up to be the best arc so far (and right after the amazing Oni arc!). It kinda was and we worked hard for months trying to spread love for Gantz. Until unlimited Nuri transformations happened. They dragged so much that most of us lost any will to write articles and once invasion began and manga took another nosedive half of people dropped it.

I finally bothered to read the last 40 chapters of Billy Bat. So in 20th Century Boys an apocalyptic future was saved by a song. In Billy Bat an apocalyptic future was saved by a comics. I liked 20th Century Boys' overall better, the ending was better too (not that I remember much). Even though it was more clumsy with its foreshadowing and mysteries. Billy Bat I think was just trying a little too much to incorporate our history into itself, which ended up limiting it and making it more dull after the first Japanese arc.

It upset more than I thought it would. Kanade ending up self NTRing by sending Hana in the hands of Mike. Even though Hana loved the shit out of the time she spend with him and her family. But the author did some weird fucking implication about her just being a fucking masochist freak more than anything. Kanade supposedly learned to be competitive and fucked off to London to be a musician. He didn't even end with Julia, who ended up pretty doing her own life and again with nothing to do with overclocking. And while Kanade said that Hana surely learned something from meeting him, she ended back to Mike who told her she can stay only if she has a job to support him and she said she has a full time job already (the god damn last pages of the manga). Basically it was a story where Kanade and Julia, two normal people, met two autistic freaks and learned to appreciate their lives a little better, but remained alone regardless of that.

Pic related is pure happiness drawn on paper.
But, after that chapter… we got two dream endings. The first seemed like something mild at first, but then the next two chapters gave context to it, and I started feeling like shit. But the second dream ending… I had to reread the whole chapter to get that the author is indeed saying what I thought he was saying. That was just rude of him, ruining my hopes and dreams like that. Now I'm too scared to ever finish Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyoubachi Otoko. And when I noticed both series have finished while I wasn't looking, I was all happy and shit, thinking good times are to be had. What an idiot I was, of course this guy knows only one way to finish any character arc. I'd say something about the differences and similarities between classical drama, torture porn, slice of life, and what Abe does, but I don't think dwelling too much on this series is good for my sanity.

Someone posted a page from Bokura no Hentai in another thread recently and while I don't read manga very often, I felt compelled to read it because I like crossdressing.
I just finished it and I think that overall it was a very nice story. It managed to focus on both the good and the bad of this kind of thing, which made it relatable but not completely depressing like it seemed it would be in the first couple volumes. The characters might have been a bit too young for me to relate to it completely, but I thought Parou was extremely relatable and his scenes hit the hardest for me.
The pacing was a little weird at times, but it probably would have been too long if it was paced more slowly.
In any case, I'm glad that a manga like this was made.

>>28787>>28818As far as I can tell, the story goes quite well for ten volumes of the novel and almost 15 of the manga - up until the end of the summer vacation. But then first the novel gets offed and the author has just one volume to wrap it up - novelfags seem to think he had 2-3 volumes in store, which he cut down to just one. And then… when the manga catches up to the end of the summer vacation, it gets even less: just one chapter.
Now, the spoilers:
Honestly, I'm not even mad. Most of the storylines are progressed to near completion, and the remaining mysteries aren't much of a mystery at all. I'd've loved a definitive "this is who he spends his whole life with" end, but it's a light-hearted comedy harem, so w/e. And, vice versa, it wasn't even that much of a harem: the author spent quite a lot of time getting the girls to love Aika. Notice, AIKA. Not the MC. So an Aika end is not undeserved. In that sense, a full-fledged end is, on one hand, hard to write, and, on the other, acts more as an afterword than anything. There ARE some plotlines that deserved more time and deeper exploration, tho, so I'd never say it's good that the manga got axed there. Main example is the relationship btw Reiko and Aika: Reiko was trying to win the affection of Aika without much success. That deserved a whole arc, like with Karen and Aika. I really loved that arc… and it really set up things for an eventual Reiko and Aika arc, which sadly never happened. And the other example is with the childhood friend. In many ways, she's the true Last Boss, not the really high spec imouto. Seems like the novel didn't even try to wrap that up, unfortunately, it only had time to do the bare minimum for Reiko + Aika.
That being said, the bonus chapter with Kimito marrying the head maid of Hakua? 10/10, I'm actually okay with this being the actual canon. Even tho I've been an Aikafag from the very start.
