i do belive most woman wont enjoin this much since there is way too much violence/rape against woman on it.The action is very well done and the male lead has incredible skills if continues on becoming more of a normal guy this could turn to be one of the best mangas i have read.

i joined this site ten seconds after reading this. as a girl, i'd have to say that i love this. i find the art, plotline, and character developpment spectacular. although i should admit that the constant sex scenes in the first few chapters got on my nerves. when a scene like that is meaningless to the story, it shouldn't be in that much detail...

by the way, if anyone's still looking, i found chap 56:

So, any chance someone translating last two chapters of Freesia? ;]

Or can anyone at least spoil what happened in the end?

Thx.

Meriken is still MIA, I guess due to IRL stuff ;-;

Or can anyone at least spoil what happened in the end?

It's kind of hard to spoil cause the last couple of pages is just dialogue so unless you know japanese you won't know what's really happening.

I've been reading this one really slow and I'm still only at chapter 66, but Freesia is so absolutely impressive to me. So cruel, dark, deep and realistic...

I love that arc about the politician I'm currently reading (just like I liked every arc). Shows a lot of the sad truths about politicians and stars these days, even though it appears so overdone and drastic. And this great burst of emotions of Tanaka at this point:

It's so perverse to see these journalists and their incredible behaviour. It's certainly overdone for the individual case. No journalist would just jell into a person's face "We don't give a damn about what you have to tell, just tell us about Tanaka!", but in principle it's so very true about the relation of persons and press...

I also liked that short takedown on popstars "I'm gonna be a real singer, not a popstar." (...) "They made you into a popstar because you don't really know how to sing..."

Kano is such an interesting character:

"a shallow, worthless job" - interesting statement!
And that incident a few pages later...
"Care to buy a flower? For your mother? A gift for your loved one?"
"Flower? What's a flower? And what's a gift?"

His bluntless can be so funny and cool

I miss Freesia, i wish this manga was some how continued v.v

I miss Freesia, i wish this manga was some how continued v.v

Of course it's sad that it's just finished, but it was a conclusive and finished story after all.
That really has advantages. I mean Freesia had a really high level storytelling, that's simply impossible for a manga which continues for a much longer time.

Did anyone get the ending?

In the end Kano is talking to someone who doesn't exist(not even in his schizophrenic world). And that conversation amounts to the process he is undergoing to manage his schizophrenia.

He is talking to the guy who has made the actual physical (may be it is better to call it sensory) world that everyone (except people like him) experiences in order to become connected to it to live.
