Happy of the End

Description

Dazed and confused, Chihiro awakes on a pile of garbage with memories of wedding still fresh in his mind. When out of the blue a young man named Keito appears before him. Instantly, he then recalls the night he spent with this person. The booze! The hotel! The punch to his face!

Chihiro may not have a place to call home currently and Keito may not be a good person by any means, but maybe the two of them could be happy together.

Neat, but...

by Lucassio

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

I just feel a bit letdown with the final volume. The first two volumes set up the struggles and troubled past of our main characters and there's a lot of tension that builds from their pain and worries that usually is resolved over sex, but that pattern of behavior begs the question of if these two are properly dealing with their issues.

On the topic of these guys' problems, every problem from their past seems to confront them and by the end, there is a logical resolution to each thread, which I applaud the author for addressing that in the writing.

With the third volume being the last, it means the story needs to conclude and perhaps that's why it felt so unexciting compared to the story that preceded it. It also felt like the big conflicts set up here

(Haoran having to split from Chihiro and also Maya continuing to stalk Haoran. )

just didn't really spark a big emotional reaction from me because the former was to be expected and the latter just resolved without too much hassle. It could be that I tuned out the intensity knowing the story would end.

Tanaka-sensei draws great art, especially the smutty stuff. Outside of the smut, there was a neat scene where Chihiro takes a picture of Keito and a flock of birds erupt in the background that was mesmerizing. I enjoyed the depictions of everyday life for these two who don't have the fullest grasp of "normality" and that's overrated anyways~

In my opinion. Truly first-class and beautifully coordinated art that does justice to the depth of the story. I read the Ogeretsu Tanaka story "Sabita Yoru Demo Koi wa Sasayaku," and what a load of crap. I love psychological stories, and this one is in a completely different league than the one I mentioned above, although I found the ending too rushed.

Happy Of The End is Ogeretsu Tanaka most polished manga

by Mahk971

I love Ogeretsu Tanaka, she's one my favorite BL mangaka and out of all her works, I can confidently say that Happy Of The End is imo her most polished manga.

The writing is superb, the art style is as usual beautiful, her characters are complex, nuanced, endearing yet so tragic, and the combination of drama, slice of life, romance and psychological is so well balanced.

Tanaka sensei nailed the sad atmosphere, there is this ominous feeling throughout the whole story that we can't shake off ... still, we know Chihiro and Kaito will get their happy ending.

Plus it has one of my favorite trope : 2 broken people going through hardship yet finding solace and comfort in each other, healing together and slowly falling in love while living in cohabitation.
It's similar to one of my favorite BL Dousei Yankee Akamatsu And Seven but it also reminds me of A Stray Dog In The Night, Yatamoto and One Room Angel.

I already bought vol 1 and 2, now I'm patiently waiting for volume 3.

ETA : I bought vol 3 and completed this series. Amazing from start to finish. Now I'm on my way to watch the Jdrama.

excited to get my hands on volume 2

Emotional hooks got me good, this feels quite different from the few other works I read from Tanaka-sensei (those sadly didn't grab me as much). Pretty excellent execution! Both leads are interesting and their relationship is rather complex. Our unlucky dumbass is very lovable.
I'm getting vibes of something right out of Harada's book lol
The train tracks scene was simple at a glance, but SO GOOD. Smut hot art good, nothing mind-blowingly unexpected in that department, has some surprisingly funny and tender moments.

It checks all the boxes AND the translation is good???

I read a chapter or two before the official English was available, and I'm SO glad I got a copy when it released. The translation/writing really kicks this up to a 10. The pacing of the story is also a strong point. Time passes smoothly and nothing feels rushed. In spite of the dramatic events and circumstances, it all feels very realistic.

It already has all of my favorite tropes, so it's a delight to see them all well-executed: lovable dirtbag down on his luck, a healthy dose of painful backstory, complicated feelings, a dash of suicidal ideation, but overall a sense that things might eventually be okay. Though, who knows what will happen in volume 2!

There's also some high quality exicit content, though it isn't as central to the story as I expected. Good stuff.
