So they found a huge settlement and are going there and that's it? Did I miss something or I was expecting too much?

 

[Kuri_Something]

Thanks for the chappy!

sad

 

[Vinpupx]

Aw, a somewhat happy ending. :)

 

[Grimwear]

That was an...anticlimactic ending to say the least. All that build up for the Professor dying and nothing. I almost feel like we should have ended back when he was on his deathbed at least that gave me feels.

 

[Mrboogey]

Its a hologram glitching out. the Professor never left japan.

 

[Chizan]

The manga ends ...not with a bang, but with a whimper. On an unexpectedly happy note, or perhaps bitter-sweet as we know the professor has not much time left.

 

[illusion_moon]

Hmm, pretty lukewarm ending, but it might fit this manga well.

 

[bookbarker]

Looks like the author had meant to write a volume 3 for this.
It ended well-enough, and enabled him to write an even better meditation on death: https://mangadex.org/title/48045/sousou-no-frieren

Lol, for a second I thought it was another robot lying to them because she’s lonely. But the next panel shows many people smiling.

 

[Nat_reed]

to all the persons in the comments
the profesor is dead in the chapter 17, all next chapters were a holograph, see the professor line is transparent after chaper 17

 

[Vasqueztion]

"It's over. A lot of people in the audience look pissed."

 

[Salami]

i liked this, it did the best it could these short few volumes

 

[ieatass69]

i'm so lost, can someone explain the ending?

 

[Chizan]

Well, I can't exactly say I'm disappointed with this conclusion. Had it gone the 'The Terrarium With Key' route, we'd seen the the prof's body slowly rot on the boat, and once it arrive in NY, the girl would have been restrained and cut to spare parts by unscrupulous resource hunters...

[stateoffear12]

Damn

 

[nachtness]

maybe the prof is now a cyborg and the blood cough is from drawback after operation

 

[SweatyBrie]

This last chapter is like the question of the Snake and the Little Prince.

I think that it’s more likely the professor died in the last chapter 32 or stayed alive. In 16 and 17, we see him preparing the letter and getting sick, but he still coughs up blood afterwards (32, in the sink, as well).

Moreover, in 32, she says she wants to bury him w/ his parents at the view.

33, we see that kindve glitch with his legs. And, they don’t have a panel showing him getting food for the trip. But, that could still be a mistake on drawing, so he could be alive.

If you think this is ambiguous, you're in denial. He's dead as shit and has been for a while.
