Wait, is that what it was?
And I agree on the weak ending and really strong beginning. I thought things ramped up for a bit when Kawai started revealing the past but that didn't really lead to as big an event as I would've thought. I think what it should've focused on a lot more was the relationship between Nishimiya and Ishida as opposed to the support characters. I wanted to see more drama stem from Ishida trying to accept himself and justify himself with Nishimiya. More about how he is tormented by the past.

I guess more production works is more interesting than the last arc at the very least.

it should be. that and Ueno x Sahara are canon in my mind to make the ending somewhat redeemable.

Yeah, you're right. That came out of nowhere though.
This totally went past me, I was wondering who that was supposed to be.
Shiamada having a sex change, dating her childhood friend and getting a kid would be more development than every single cast member got since the start of the series... And all out off panel.
What an unexpected thing for the author to write in the ending.
Very brief One Piece spoilers:
per Arlong Park forums.
- Back to the present. Law and Doflamingo fight. Law admits he's a "D" too.
​- Brief review of all it's happening in Dressrosa (Donquixote Family Vs Mugiwara Pirates/other pirates, dwarfs in Royal Palace...).
- In the end ​Law wounds Doflamingo's body by using "Injection Shot".

I'll forgive you
Anyways about Kaneki's power it wasn't a jump because he had all the potential from the very beginning. He was given Rize's organs who in fact was a powerful ghoul. Her Rinkaku kagune is really strong and lethal. Though the reason why it may seem as if Kaneki was weak in the beginning was because at that time he didn't want to let go of his humanity. He didn't provide his body with enough nutrients (human meat) and kept on eating those coffee snacks which is why his body wasn't as strong. Though during the torture his mentality had changed, he accepted his Ghoul side even if it meant losing some of his humanity. When Kaneki took a bite off of Yamori he gained a boost in RC levels and it's been told that if a Ghoul eat's other ghouls they get stronger. So what I'm saying is that with his new mentality, Rize's Kagune, his training, and abnormal regeneration which was told through Yamori, his strength wasn't a asspull. Ending with Kaneki destroying Yamori.

Koe no Katachi END
That's it? Man... what was that? Talk about your abrupt ending. It felt the author could have easily used 5 or more chapters, but she wrapped up everything up too quickly.
No.
NO.
You do not get to drop 2 major bombs like that and leave us hanging. I want to know how Ueno x Sahara became a thing. I want a proper explanation from their mouths. There should have been a beginning, middle and end to their relationship, but we didn't even get a beginning or a middle. Hell, you could barely call that an end. Same deal with Shimada's sex change.
It's been said before, but it bears repeating. Koe no Katachi's biggest shortcoming is how quickly was everything was wrapped up after Ishida's fall. It felt like each of the supporting characters were still in the middle of their character arcs, and it was thrown out after he woke up. It saddens me to no end that we didn't a proper conclusion. Kawai suffers the worst from this because it felt like the author was actually building up to something. The entire manga felt like it was building up to something... not that limp ending.
Like, I still really like this manga overall, but that last act really soured me on the whole experience. Feels bad
Why couldn't this have happened

From everybody's impression why did Koe no Katachi finish abruptly? Was it not selling well or did the author get tired of writing the series.

Koe no katachi:
That ending was weak as fuck, for a series with such heavy themes it ended up with the most typical "everyone is happy now" ending, i expected more. Also you guys went crazy and started seeing sex changes in random people, come on dudes.

None of those I believe. It was likely a creative decision.
The author had mentioned the series would end in November a good half a year back, they had even announced the final issue date all the way back in August.
The author clearly had a plan for the series and how to end it, it just so happens that the ending was badly written/planned.

To me the ending wasn't abrupt, life is made by episodes and episodes so important happen once or twice in the life so i'm perfectly happy with it not having more drama (and adding to that i really don't like drama). The ending had a nice set up thanks to the last two chapters in my opinion but it just didn't give anything to the reader therefore the disappointment.

It's ending. Guess thing change, and Ishida and Nishimiya already change for the better. Nothing too bombastic with the ending though. Maybe there will be extra chapter in tankoubon...I hope!
And for the anime, well, whoever adapt it, i hope they did great job with it.

It looks more like Ueno wearing a decorative ring from Sahara who is a fellow designer and friend than both of them into yuri. Two things though. There were still lingering jealousy on her part where she told Nishimiya to stop 'flirting' in this chapter. And I see Ueno's statement to Ishida as something cheeky to say to her crush. The description of the one who proposed kinda fits how she see herself and her high standard. Would be better if someone who can read Japanese clear the air because in the chinese language, Ueno said the one who proposed is also a male club president.

Childhood Past friend acquaintance appears!
Still not sure how drama fill she will be, even if she seems to be pretty nice.

police man pls!
The non conclusive and open ending of Ishida / Nishimiya relationship is fine. Hand-holding was a small step forward and the meat of the last chapter is more focused on facing their past trauma, taking a positive outlook of the future and resolving (existing) issues with others.
I do think the author missed a chance of personalities growth with some characters. It's not that I believe character progression is mandatory for a work to be good. I am fine with fully matured characters who are predictable but still true to their nature throughout the story. This, however, is period of adolescence. With the events that had occurred, readers would appreciate their coming of age. It would also help to have some loose ends tied up, particularly with Ishida and his two friends.
I am not that fond with the author execution of the themes and how she weave her story in general, so I don't really care about this ending/series.

Zetsurin! aka that dick gun manga 2-3
"So you can't fire that gun more then once, huh"
And we're getting some next level ecchi physics up in here. That double whammy was a work of art, man.
Akame ga Kill! Extra Chapter 2
Lol at the notion of Budo King of the Jobbers ever being the strongest in anything
Look at all these dead nerds and about to be dead nerds.
Akame ga Kill! Zero 12
Full on nudity in the first page. Except no nipples in this universe. Yep.
Having a fight with Akame in it in the prequel series. I wonder who will win.
And I guess she just have a lower level version of the OHKO blade. This one reminds me of the Medaka Box final boss' power except lamer.
I dunno if they brought that up before.

The best (worst?) part is that it doesn't even feel like a timeskip, all the characters are exactly the same. But seriously Ishida, what have you been doing for the past two years? Step it up bro.

This is so dumb and ecchi, but I can't help but continue to love it for what it is. The little spirit thing just says the dirtiest things despite his appearance.

This ending... I wanted more out of it. Not to say that I hated it. It was good, but I wish this was only part of the ending. Also I wasn't aware of what the ring probably meant in that ending. Same goes for the couple and the baby until you guys brought it up.
I wonder how animeGAF will react to the adaptation of Koe no Katachi. I'm expecting people complaining about forced drama and love triangles.

Before the end of the chapter, I just assumed this was going to be another childhood loses terribly for chapters upon chapters but then oh boy, that last page.
