地獄楽 13 Jigokuraku 13 by Yuji Kaku, 賀来ゆうじ
5.0

I'm so glad to see a happy ending. I feel that a lot of the time, gritty stories opt for tragic or bittersweet endings for the sake of being gritty, but it's so refreshing to see a happy ending. Their journey felt satisfying. The final fight was a little anticlimactic perhaps, but I think thematically it makes a lot of sense.

It was also really refreshing to see that Gabimaru and Sagiri's relationship was truly platonic. I cannot get over Sagiri's reaction to seeing Gabimaru and his wife reunite.

Part of me thought ch. 126 was the end, but I'm really glad that the author decided to include where everybody ended up. I wish we'd gotten to see Gabimaru speak in the end or see him, Sagiri and Yuzuriha talking, but regardless I loved the ending.
