Quote from sandman1008
The manga ending wasn't bad. The only thing that really bugged me was that guy (the guy who was originally sent to kill Lucy) coming back to life. It happened a while back, but I clearly remember him being ripped from the waist by Lucy. And didn't he die in the arms of Mayu? I mean seriously, how the hell did he miraculously come back in the last chapter? I think he should have just stayed dead. It's a little too much for him to come back to life.
Other than that, it wasn't bad. The twins thing was a little confusing, but after rereading it a few times, I was able to come up with the same thing other people wrote (the twins being the reincarnation of Lucy). It wasn't bad, but I still preferred the anime ending.
You're so right for the first part. Too many people survived in this manga.
I didn't like the ending at all, I don't know why but it gave me a sort of Mahoromatic feeling (died person come without any logical sense to life), it looked like a too naive ending for a manga like this one.
And I also didn't understand nor like the part about Anna on the island.
Also, okay the twins could be the reincarnation of Lucy/Nyu? But, why? From where they come?
It's a pity, I'm gonna give this manga "only" a 9/10, while it could have been 9.5 if the ending wouldn't have ruined the amazing cliffhanger ended in chapter 106.
PS:
The grave where Nana is crying. Whose name is written there?
Thanks to anyone who will answer.

I also agree that
Spoiler (highlight to view)
kouta married yuka
but as for the twins i think
Spoiler (highlight to view)
they were more of a reincarnation than just a representation because in the note was from kaede (one of the twins) directly to kouta and it talked about things that only kouta and lucy could know
You're right for the first spoiler, but you're wrong in the second spoiler. The note has been placed there by Lucy when she was a child, you can find her doing that in chapter 35, page 143. She was called Kaede at that time I believe, that's the only explanation, 'cause her name when she lived at the orphanage has never been mentioned.
Even the reference to the stone (where they usually met) and the wedding ring (the jade stone that's good for making rings that Kouta gave her I suppose) make sense only in this case.
I suppose that the twins have the same name of Lucy/Nyu when she was still an "innocent" child.
Quote from Juicifer
i dont think they would be a reincarnation of nyuu, (because she is like living on as kouta's daughter) but probably one kaede and one lucy.. hopefully..
Uhm, I didn't have understood that right the first time I read it, but now I see your point and you basically are saying the same of me.
Basically you mean that the two personality have been reincarnated in two different beings, one as Kaede/Nyu and the other one as Lucy. But so you're thinking as me that Kaede was the name she had before when she lived in the orphanage, right?
I only don't think that Nyu is living on on Yuka-Kouta's daughter, Nyu is just a fictional name they made up for Kaede/Lucy.
Did you also notice that one's smiling but the other one not? This could give more credit to this interpretation.
