xparrot: Chopper reading (bangin lean)
[personal profile] xparrot
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!!")

Aww, this calls for random GB music to fulfill the nostalgia quota. I'm so glad to hear the series didn't end as depressing as I feared it would from Ban's situation.

*HUG* PLZ don't scratch out the gay part~~~
My guess is 39...I got 36 volumes all together...and I know 37 is released already...and it ends around CH 70...so 20 chapters left 4 2 vols would b my estimation.

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.

*dies* I uh, had not thought about THOSE children. XD

But, uhm, yeah. After I get done with the VS kink smut, perhaps something more... lighthearted would be in order anyway. XD

pantswarrior: Laguna scratches his head. (huh?)
From: [personal profile] pantswarrior
I think it had something to do with the fact that they kept colliding with alternate universes in the Beltline (for instance, the Emishi who had lost an arm and MakubeX who tried to strangle Ginji), and that Amon who showed up just afterwards was another universe's Amon... who just sort of didn't die in that other universe?

Although Ginji's wish for the world he knew probably just brought back their universe's Amon. ...I wonder who has the chimera now, if anyone has it at all.

I was more refering to the pages of the GetBackers. I'm pretty sure it's cleaned up reused art, anyway...

Being Amon and Emishi, they probably cheerfully natter on about their Imaginary Triplets for years. Go for it. We await it eagerly!

Not the same thing at all, I'm afraid. But I'm very glad the manga ended in happy-making ways for those who followed it.

Ah, see, name order means nothing to me. And anime!Teshimine and Masaki had a much more intense relationship dynamic than anime!Teshimine and Paul (though I never say no to threesomes). That may not be the case in the manga, whis is Not For Me.

Well, not having the script yet, I'm not really sure how many questions it didn't raise ^^; But then, being GB and A&A-sensei, I wasn't expecting coherency or answers. Just cute, and they delivered! XD

Seems like our little series has snowballed up quite the English-speaking fan contingent, over time XD

Also HEE to Juubei's latest mad skillz.

Yessssss exactly! Just what the series deserved ^_^
From: [identity profile] jagan-21.livejournal.com
Well I guess we´ll only know in the future until A&A decide to continue with the story... A wild idea would be that they take some of this and some of that from all the fanfics and put them together to see what comes out **laughs imagining**...

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)

I think who you were referring to with the poor eyesight was Ginji's mother...

Thank you!!!

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!
