"(...) manga will reach its climax in the magazine's next issue on October 17."
Climax means last chapter/end of the manga..

In storytelling, climaxes are usually followed with a falling action and resolution.

I don't think publishers are in the habit of making public announcements for the various stages of narrative arcs--the term "climax" seems to be industry jargon for "last chapter."

"In the recent announcement, a word written in phonetic katakana alphabet which meant "climax" was seen, indicating that the manga was about to be finished."

Oh ok. Man that sucks, since there are still a couple things to be resolved, though.

Sometimes final chapters are extra long, like Chapter 108 of FMA.

You're brave to hope for an extra long resolution to this tangled mess.

I really hope the ending is at least somewhat satisfying. All we can do is cross our fingers.

Raws are out and it really is the end. No extra-long chapter either.

Just from looking at the pictures. Seems like all of us were somewhat right about how it ended.

There's a return to the status quo, kind of, and a time skip

lawlz

Chapter is out in spanish
I read it and: "my unsatisfactuion is immeasurable and my day is ruined."
I hope we can now get some Eli X Umi doujins.

I really hope they get the English version out soon, because I don't remember a damn thing of my high school Spanish class.

The English version just got done, just have to wait for it to be uploaded here.

Well, it turns out that the author is nothing if not . . . the same as ever.

This was a bumpy and tupsy turvy ride. An overall wonderful story. We all know life is unfair, the only thing we can do is choose what we can live with.

That's it ? A 1st timeskip to said that Kaoru divorce and Uta still keep her love unrequited then ANOTHER timeskip of 4/5 pages to see that they live together and nothing else ? I don't really know what to say honestly, it feel very lackluster. Like it could have been longer and explain better but it's short and leave the readers with unaswered questions.

Well, it's done. I don't love the ending but it really fits the series. Hopefully there will be an extra chapter or two when the tank comes out.

WHAT THS FUUUCK IS THIS ENDING?!?!?!?!?!
I followed this series from the very beginning to read this ending???? Are u serious?!
What a waste of time.

So post-time skip, the sister is bumping nasty with her brother's ex-wife, just across the hallway? Awkward. Personally not a fan of the ending. Thanks for the translations, Chaosteam.

Not one but TWO timeskips in the same final chapter.
Wew

This ending needed to be two parts, they were never really shown becoming a couple, it just happened.

Just had to do this, because it's exactly what I feel:

This made me wish with every fiber of my body to never fall in love...

Extra chapter? Please?? An epilogue, a few pages I beg. That ending should be far far longer with a few more peeks into their new finally yuri life.

I mean, at least Chaosteam's credit pages always give me some comic relief, so it wasn't a complete waste of my time.

This was a meh ending. No real conclusions just every was skipped over until the end. Risako didn't even appear in this chapter making her feel more like a plot device. This just felt like it skipped over everything it setup just to get to the end. No talk about the divorce, no watching them move in together, no conclusion with Risako, nothing that made all these plot points feel resolved.

This is dumb. I feel dumb for reading all this. Dumb.

If I roll my eyes any harder, I'll break my neck
