xparrot | 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

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!!")
