Worst Manga Ending

[Jaymie]

Mirai Nikki had a God-awful ending. The entire last arc was a giant anticlimax, but the final chapter takes the cake. It ended nicely, but there was an epilogue attached... Just thinking about that epilogue makes me shudder.

Totally agree, Shaman King has the worst ending that I have ever read, Eye Sheild 21 went on way too long like other people said, and 666 satan felt sooo rushed that the ending itself was not bad, but like I said, it just skips over so much potential just to get to the ending.

Certainly Full Metal Alchemist. It has a lot of plot-holes in the main concept of equality. More over, it was like made only to the children readers.

Other ending mangas are really worse, but i have to given some credit for other reasons that Arakawa doesn't has.

Perhaps, the worst mangaka giving an end to his mangas is Naoki Urasawa. His popular works were good but just PLUTO was the only with a decent ending.

wow i always felt the other way around. Pluto to me is the only one of uasawa's work which seemed to have a rather weak ending, completely riding on deus ex machina.

true we would've been better off the epilogue...i guess the mangaka desperately wanting to make a happy ending

still i'm quite fond of the work.

usugi drop for me is the manga which had the worst ending. its totally character driven manga, but i just couldn't digest the way the relationships turned out at the end. it seemed too unnatural to me.

Right now I can only recall Monster as a manga with an unsatisfying ending. It wasn't really bad but left way too many things unsolved. As great as the whole series was the ending really left me disappointed.

I guess you refer to the scene where

Yuno breaks through to god-Yuki?

that was definitely unnecessary but besides that I was totally fine with the ending. Could definitely have been better but it was okay.

Yeah Usagi Drop's ending made me feel really uncomfortable. At the beginning of the second half of the story the mangaka seemed to be heading somewhere with Rin and Kouki, but then everything headed to a completely different direction and she seemed like she was going out of her way to make the manga end the way she wanted it to. My advice to anyone who wants to check out Usagi Drop is to only read the first half of the story (before the time-skip) or to watch the anime, which only animates the first half.

I finished Usagi Drop a while ago so I know what you two are talking about. I had no idea what the mangaka was thinking (what was the editor doing!!!), and I actually felt betrayed while reading the last chapter as silly as it sounds.

See, the whole story was based on the fact that a little girl lost her lone caregiver and so a 30 year old single man was faced with the task of raising her himself. He interacted with other parents and sought their help in taking care of a kid because he's never done this before. Even though Rin never saw him as a replacement of her father, they were still clearly establishing a father-daughter bond which was emphasized many times throughout the course of the story.

But no. The mangaka just had to shatter those illusions and make their relationship romantic (remember that Daikichi doesn't see Rin in this light at all) and even sexual (Rin wants Daikichi to be the father of her child). I don't care if Rin's parentage was randomly changed to make this ~*okay*~.... IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL! a;ksjdfa;sjf;

/rant over

I'd even take the epilogue of The Deathly Hallows over this. (O_o)

...THE HECK.

[shukketsumaru]

The only ending I was ever bitter about was Tenjou Tenge. It confused the hell out of me and the parts I did understand pissed me off to no end. It just seemed to fatalistic for my taste.

[Doraku]

Like several people have said, Shaman King ending is probably the worst Manga ending I've ever read. I was so devastated by it, and had to turn away from Otaku world for a while because of it. I hope Takei will not repeat his mistakes with Flowers though. As for Usagi Drop, the ending is bad, but somehow after the revelation in the previous story before the end, I could guess that the ending would go to "that" path. Another Manga ending that I really dislike is probably School Rumble. It was just a huge meh, even though the story building is quite good at first.

..and to be honest I like Full Metal Alchemist ending.

[Galactic Tomahawk]

Worst recent ending I've seen is probably

Ousama Game.

It wasn't a great manga to begin with but I think it was the first time I've ever read about an ending that just made me drop the whole thing on the spot.

[hatsuharupeace]

To make it recent, the worst ending I found was

Katekyo Hitman Reborn. There was no proper resolution, no form of completeness to the ending chapter. I found Reborn an enjoyable read, and I liked the characters and plot, especially how badass Tsuna could be, but the ending was just like a massive splash of cold water to the face which left me spluttering and unsatisfied.

I had no interest in reading Usagi Drop, but after reading the ending I have to admit that is totally trollsome.

I have to admit, I think I've dropped series more than I've read something to its natural conclusion. But if there's one series that had the most unsatisfying ending, its definitely Sugar Sugar Rune.

The premise was really interesting and almost controversial because the girls have to be heartbreakers in order to win points to see which one will become queen. But halfway through the story, I think the author got bored of having the story be about Vanilla and Chocolate and switched it to be about Chocolate and her love interest. And then there comes the epic plot about how she's half witch and half wizard and she saves the day....but afterwards she doesn't become queen because "its not what's important to her anymore". While indeed, Chocolate was the hero of the story, Vanilla got sidelined for no reason. Even though she becomes queen in the end, she didn't have enough character development to justify it, other than a constellation prize for sticking around long enough.

xxxHolic and the only reason I say this is because the ending was heartbreaking. Yuuko died because of events in Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle, Himawari marries some dude that's not Watanuuki, Doumeki marries Kohane (kind of pedophilish in a way), and Watanuuki our main character inherits Yuuko's shop waiting on her to return but she never will cause she's dead. And Watanuuki himself is/will be alone for the rest of his life. Wow. Being the good guy doesn't just suck it sucks ass.

[Yuyunarutoballz]

Bakuman's ending was terrible lol. It came out of nowhere. Well, not really nowhere, but it just felt like. "Whelp, that's our story. If you want more closure, TOO BAD! You knew this was coming!"

Almost forgot Mirai Nikki. My gawd. That final arc brought Mirai Nikki to being one of my favorite animes of all time, to a show i hope i forget about soon.

[steadynco]

I recall Psyren ending abruptly with the lightning quick defeat of the big bad.
