GB: end of an era

[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 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!!")

OMG, gonna cry.

Thanks so much for posting this! As you can see on the GB LJ, I'm *trying* to post translations but I'm now 2 chapters behind. Can't believe it's over... but glad it's a happi endo, as you say.

Like i said that GB's LJ community, al's well that ends well.

Although a little sad that there's no death (gives it a feel of plot armour ala Gundam Seed and Destiny), still... the whole gang intact which means...

We'll see you next time! (?)

Hee. Some stories are better served for the drama of death, but as a comedy above all, I don't think GB would have been. The status quo riding-off-into-the-sunset is perfect, as far as I'm concerned.
But then, I'm a sucker for happy endings and true love anyway ^^

You're welcome - and thank you much for those translations, btw, I know how hard work they are, and they're the only way I had any idea what was going on! XD
