we’re done. it’s finally over (kinda)
#i was mad in the moment but now i’m pensive#what was the point of these final 3 chapters?#i don’t mean this pejoratively i’m genuinely curious as to why inagaki felt this was necessary after the epilogue#i guess he wanted to address some of the questions presented by fans about whyman’s motivations and the goal posed to save byakuya and what#it would mean for future generations of villagers.#it was a little bit of a hand holding session with somewhat of a character exploration?#also that page where ryusui explicitly named senku’s true nature was so pointed#so it’s meant to ease people’s anxiety about the future of these characters#let’s not forget to mention the page about senku’s thoughts on having a relationship which in some distinct ways points to kohaku as a#viable option; but neither of them commit or care that much? which is in line with their personalities#but it’s very much not romantic in the regular sense so panels tease at the possibility but it’s very awkward and played as set up for a gag#inagaki really doesn’t like the drama that comes with romantic relationships in a narrative and actively criticizes or avoids it but gives#those crumbs as a sort of peace offering to the shippers#d.s
