GB: end of an era

For those of us who still attend the First Church of BanGin - all good things must come to an end...and the GetBackers manga just did yesterday.

And I am thrilled to report that despite my fears about A&A-sensei, they came through. Super-super-happy ending, for the WIN.

I've only been haphazardly following the series, flipping through the weekly Shounen Mag chapters without trying to read them (trying to translate GB hurts my brain, yo. And my eyes, all those little kanji...) and sporadically checking the translations folks have been posting on [livejournal.com profile] getbackers. So I don't actually know what's going on - Ginji became 'god', went to an alternate (the real) universe and met his mom and discovered he'd died a long time before, Ban was going to vanish from existence from having used the Jagan more than thrice a day...yeah. Hurts my brain. So I don't know exactly how they got to this ending.

But sometimes pictures speak louder than words. So, yes. Happi endo!!



Kazuki's threesome:



My only regret is that Shido & Madoka didn't actually tie the knot. But hey! MakubeX is out and about! And has become a GitS fanboy!



Hevn is going to spend her ever after with Masaki (much to Ban's immense dismay.)


Masaki is saying "Mine!" in response to Ban's attempt to glom onto his sweetie's bosum last panel.

Team Transporter go!



And because I know you all are dying to know, does The Superhappy Ending mean that Emishi & Amon open a maid cafe together?
The answer is Yes. Yes, it does.




But the last pages really say it all:






"Let's go, Ginji!"
"Yeah, Ban-chan!!"

(the overlay text reads: "A shop of friends -- a tumult of ways -- the two sprinting...this town will never change!!")

Wow, it's a party in here. XDDDD

That was the sappiest thing I've ever read, which is about what one can expect when Ginji is made master of the universe. XD TWO THUMBS UP. I see that in times of peace Juubei is putting his needles to better use knitting scarves.

O GEEZ D:
'SMILE MUGEN THEATER' WINS
MASAKI'S "ORE NO DA" TO HEVNS BOOBS WINS
MATCHING SCARVES WINS

AND OF COURSE PASSIONATE MALE FRIENDSHIP WILL ALWAYS WIN <3

(i miss this series; glad it ended with happiness, and also wondering where the hell my gb manga collection is; its kind of hard for it to HIDE given there's like 30+ volumes and my room is really not that big)

Thanks for the translation and pics! I have always wanted to know the ending in Manga and its difference with the Anime ending. This is such a good ending!
LOVE BanGin!

*sigh* It's over... BanXGinji were my first OTP, so I'm of two minds right now - happy that Ban and Ginji got to stay together... and sad to see the series end. *sigh*

Oh well... at least I can console myself with the knowledge that I still have several volumes to buy before I get to the end in the English manga. ^_^

Thank you for posting this!
