About the author

Tsugumi Ōba (Profile in Japanese: 大場 つぐみ), born in Tokyo, Japan, is a writer best known for the manga Death Note. His/her real identity is a closely guarded secret. As stated by the profile placed at the beginning of each Death Note manga, Ōba collects teacups and develops manga plots while holding his knees on a chair, similar to a habit of L, one of the main characters of the series.

There is speculation that Tsugumi Ōba is a pen name and that he is really Hiroshi Gamō. Pointing out that in Bakuman the main character's uncle was a one-hit wonder manga artist who worked on a gag super hero manga, very similar to Gamō and Tottemo! Luckyman in all aspects. Also that the storyboards drawn by Ōba greatly resemble Tottemo! Luckyman in style.

Love getting to the end of a series and it all feels like a big waste of time

[Aya · Rating 2 out of 5]

This manga was beyond beautiful, I absolutely adored the first half but it sadly went from a phenomenal and beautiful manga to the author simply being like "I don't care anymore", not to mention the main target of the story changing mid series from super sentai to philosophical with zero action whatsoever. Also some characters like the professor drastically changed and gave up on their goals in a matter of seconds, becoming itachi. So many things were mentioned that the author never bothered to explain, like Nasse, what was she and how did she die if she was there before God himself?The ending made absolutely no sense and completely ruined this beautiful series. The fact that they left it to a kid to be God is beyond me, a suicidal kid who believes people who want to die shouldn’t get help but get what they desire instead, death. How can you let such a person be God? And after becoming God, he decides to commit suicide and end all humanity, not knowing he’d doom all existence. How and why?

Now I’ve read that some people have made up their own explanation of the ending, how the ending might be the ultimate critic against suicide, or about the purpose of life, meaning of happiness. But I’m sad to say that I don’t agree with any of it, if the ending has some philosophical meaning behind it I would’ve sensed it and appreciated the end, but I strongly believe that they decided to end the manga as quickly as they can because it didn’t receive as much attention as the author wanted. What a let down…

Manga serrien var helt okå. den er ikke like bra som death note, men den var bedre enn anime-n. Artstylen er god, men plottet var litt sånn klisje, og følte ikke et var så mye developemt hos karakteren. de var ganske flate.

Last Volume

Spoilers..ish

This series hasn't been the amazing creative wild mayhem that DeathNote was...but then could anything match that?

However the ending was a bit out there...which maybe shouldn't have been a surprise..given these two amazing creators..

Endings that make the rest of the series irrelevant are my favourites -_-

[Sandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

the ending made the whole story pointless :( but the story overall had some interesting rules etc. that we followed and explored

[Beatriz Carvalho · Rating 1 out of 5]

It was a pleasure to read this whole saga; but the finally two volumes ruined it all (especially this last volume).
The ending is terrible (and I am using nice words just because I respect the authors). There were plenty of ways that this saga could end but the authors chose such a bittersweet ending! It was awful! I felt like I read 14 volumes for nothing. This manga saga is not perfect (at all) but it's not that bad. It's quite "readble". But this ending?! Oh God. Biggesy heartbreak I have ever had from a book. What a shame. "Platinum End" had everything to be a great saga but the authors ruined it.
I don't recommend anyone to read the 14 volumes. Trust me: the ending is so, so bad. It's just not worth your time.

[Luka · Rating 3 out of 5]

3,5★

Se trata de la última obra fruto del gran dúo Ohba & Obata. En este caso nos presentan una historia profunda y llena de cuestionamientos como solo ellos saben hacerlo a través de ángeles, tragedias y batallas.

Encontramos dos grandes arcos, con dos villanos definidos. El enlace entre ellos da la sensación de que lo tenían planeado y lo hacen de una manera bastante fluida.

No obstante, es verdad que en ocasiones la historia es bastante irregular, con altos y bajos. No quiero decir con ello que se trate de una mala obra, ni mucho menos. Pero si es cierto que, debido a las grandes reflexiones y diálogos, los momentos de acción, tensión y batallas pierden intensidad.

Este quizás sea el punto negativo, si bien como digo, la historia me ha gustado. Pero creo que el problema que siempre va a tener este dúo es que todas sus obras serán comparadas con Death Note…

[Vikas · Rating 3 out of 5]

What the hell was that ending, eh? Thanos, anyone?, I mean it was nice, but then the end was actually the end, I mean again WTH man. At least the series is over. Let's go and explore ohter books and series and let's Keep on reading.

I have always loved comics, and I can, and I have. I love comics to bits; may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more. You should also read what you love, and I hope you will always love it. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics, Mangas, Mahwas, and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.

[امیرمحمد حیدری · Rating 5 out of 5]

برعکس چیزی که در آغاز مانگا فکر می‌کردم، رفته‌رفته بهتر شد. مانگاکاهای این اثر، بیشتر با مانگای به‌یادماندنی خود، یعنی Death Note به شهرت رسیدند. خیلی از جوانب این مانگا نیز به دفترچه مرگ شباهت دارد اما پختگی در آن به‌وضوح مشخص است. قالب شخصیت‌پردازی‌ها، موضوعیت کلی داستان (که عموماً مسائلی جهان‌شمول همچون عدالت، خدا یا خداباوری، مرگ، بهشت و جهنم) را در دستور کار قرار می‌دهند، بسیار مشابهند. اما پایان این مانگا، حساب‌شده، دقیق، دارای پیوندی ژرف با ابتدا و اواسط داستان و پتانسیل شخصیت‌هایش، عجین شده. مهندسی اطلاعات در اواسط داستان به‌غایت واضح و کاربردی و به‌جا بود. اثری که باید خوانده شود.

เอาจริง เรื่องนี้สนุกจนอ่านทุกเล่มแบบหยุดไม่ได้จริงๆ

แต่จบแบบนี้เนี่ยนะ! เข้าใจแหละว่าอยากให้แหวกแนวเลยจบแบบนี้ หลายๆคนเลยให้คะแนนน้อยมาก เพราะไม่ชอบให้จบแบบนี้แหละ!

[Bismah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have to begin this review with high praises for the art because it was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, it was the art that kept me reading until the end because it was just that beautiful to look at.

While the premise was interesting and was what got me interested in the series, somewhere along the way the story just began to drag. By the time I was on volume 12, I just wanted it to be done. It also didn't help that I felt the protagonist a bit underwhelming especially with the last arc.

Despite my feelings about the series, I'm glad I read it and maybe the anime adaptation will work out whatever problems I had with the story.

[Amarinske · Rating 4 out of 5]

To me, this was a satisfying al be it sad ending. It made a lot for the story and the themes explored although it also gives the feeling of an empty hole because it is so drastic.
Also, the 'winner' for becoming could both be seen coming from volumes away and yet wasn't entirely expected from how the plot seemed to unfold. It wasn't a twist by any means considering the considerations about it that turned up earlier in the story.
But the question it leaves me with is this: what does it even matter if you collectively decide that the new God isn't going to do anything anyway? I know why it matters now, but that wasn't really until close to the ending. And the implication at the ending. I liked that. A lot.
Do I believe in that stuff? No. Do I think it's an interesting way to view it? Certainly. And it did make the ending feel more complete. Like the circle was completed again.

[Nicki Markus · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought I would talk about Platinum End overall, rather than just the final volume. For the most part I liked the series. The artwork was stunning and the story concept was interesting. Some of the action gave way to philosophy in the later volumes, but that didn't upset me too much. However, I was a tad disappointed in the ending. It did tie things up fairly neatly, but it was still a bit sad the way things went after all the build up through the first thirteen volumes. I think Death Note will always be the standout work for these authors, but the other stories I've read of theirs are also solid and beautifully illustrated, and Platinum End is no exception. The series as a whole gets 4 stars from me.

[Pauline (Kiriiti's Blog) · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bref, "Platinum End" ne fût pas un mangas pour moi. Il y a bien quelques joutes verbales sur la vie, le bonheur, la mort et Dieu qui m'ont plu mais elles ont été englouties sous tellement de choses qui m'ont rendu dingue que je n'ai pas su apprécier ces moments. Tout ce que je trouvais intéressant ne durait jamais (personnages, batailles, enjeux,...) alors que ce que je trouvais particulièrement ennuyant durait des tomes... Il y a un réel problème de rythme dans cette saga et de construction au niveau des idées exploitées et du développement des personnages. C'était très inégal et je n'ai pas apprécié ma lecture.

[Stephanie D. Samler · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is like watching 7 seasons of Game of Thrones and being so excited for the final season…. And then you were given season 8. The entire manga was exciting and thoughtful with you really rooting for certain characters until this finale. The ending is nonsensical and faux philosophical with nothing mattering in the end. I would give this negative stars if I could.

voto complessivo di 14 volumi: 3+ ✰ su 5
(7 su 10)

➼ la mia valutazione:
Questo manga è stato 𝘂𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗼 𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗶 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘇𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶.
Si susseguivano parti estremamente noiose con altre super interessanti.
𝗜𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗼 è 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗼, sopratutto per la parte finale e io, essendone una super amante, non ho potuto fare altro se non apprezzarne la cosa anche se, a tratti, risultava davvero confusionario.

➼ punti di forza:
-𝗹𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮 è 𝗱𝗮𝘃𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲;
ho sempre trovato molto interessante temi come “la scoperta di dio” e “della creazione dell’universo” e il fatto che vengano analizzati e scoperti misteri pagina dopo pagina fino alla rivelazione della creazione mi hanno portato ad alzare notevolmente il mio voto finale trovando questo punto qualcosa da dover per forza elogiare.
-𝗠𝗶 è 𝗽𝗶𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘂𝘁𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗹𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮.
Si vede che è un’opera che ha avuto un gran lavoro dietro, un’architettura e una linea logica da seguire tuttavia penso che abbiano voluto buttare un po’ troppa carne al fuoco, rendendo l’opera un po’ troppo “complicata” portandoti NON ad una riflessione ma ad una forzata rilettura dovuta alla difficile comprensione della dinamica.
-𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁à 𝗻𝗼𝗻 è 𝗰𝗼𝘀ì…
una cosa sicuramente da apprezzare ma che, per come costruito, non mi è piaciuto molto.
-𝗔𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗻𝗶 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗶 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝗺𝗼𝗹𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲(esempio il professore) portandoti a riflettere e, in alcuni casi, cambiare completamente prospettiva della vicenda. Se parliamo di livello di simpatia, per quanto personaggi a mio parere un po’ piatti, gli angeli sono davvero perfetti per questo ruolo; li ho amati praticamente tutti e ho molto apprezzato che ognuno di loro avesse una sua peculiarità unica.

➼ punti deboli:
-𝗹’𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗶 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗻𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗱𝗶 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗼.
Ovviamente non tutte le opere hanno questo scopo ma in questo caso si vede che cerca di lasciarti un messaggio che, a mio parere, non era abbastanza centralizzato per poter entrare all’interno del cuore del lettore per farlo riflettere.
-𝗶𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗲, come detto prima, non è scontato tuttavia 𝗹’𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲… sia per la scelta finale del dio sia per gli atti che quello stesso dio ha deciso di compiere. Sono tutte cose successe in così poco tempo da non farmele elaborare, mi è sembrato infatti come se fossero quasi state buttate lì senza dargli il giusto tempo per essere spiegate, capite e concordate quasi come se lo scrittore avesse avuto fretta di terminare l’opera.
-𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗼, 𝗹𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗶ù 𝗺𝗶 𝗵𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗼.
Penso che l’autore abbia creato un mostro troppo potente come boss finale, troppo ben caratterizzato rispetto al protagonista il cui unico ideale era quello di donare la felicità a tutti non sapendo manco lui come fare. Il boss viene “reso pacifico” in un modo che, davvero caro autore, non ha minimamente senso… viene tirato fuori un discorso completamente vittimista che va in completo contrasto con il personaggio sicuro e deciso che fino a qualche secondo rappresentava creando quasi un complesso di bipolarismo che, sottolineiamolo, non lo rende irrealistico ma semplicemente deludente.
-𝗶𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼 𝗶𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗼𝗻𝗼, che mai ucciderebbe nessuno. Anche in questo caso il suo status d’umore e di ragionamento cambiano da un secondo all’altro trasformandolo da un suicida (che parliamoci chiaro, prima che uno si suicidi e si convinca di compiere tale atto ci vuole tempo, non minuti) ad un paladino della giustizia.
Come puoi trovare senso nella vita se il tuo passaggio di ideale avviene dalla caduta libera da un palazzo fino al terreno sottostante? Quanti secondi passano, 4? Ci sono voluti davvero 4 secondi da rendere irrilevante tutto quel dolore che ti portavi nel petto fino a qualche secondo fa? No.
-𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: Non li definirei due generi diversi, ne tanto meno due storie diverse… le definirei semplicemente opposte. In una storia il protagonista è un antagonista, in questa un eroe… entrambi però ambiscono, forzatamente o meno, al titolo di dio. Entrambi hanno una guida, uno un diavolo, l’altro un angelo e, ovviamente, ci sono altri personaggi con una guida come loro. Entrambi hanno una donna al loro fianco, uno la sfrutta e l’altro la ama. Entrambi hanno un nemico che cercano, attraverso la logica, di batterlo. Entrambi hanno un boss finale che li sconfigge completamente no sense. Capite? Tutto diverso ma tutto similmente uguale e, ovviamente per una questione soggettiva, è una cosa che non mi piace. Rispetto a questo preferirei o un continuo della storia principale o semplicemente il nulla.

➼ conclusioni:
La consiglio? 𝗦𝗡𝗜
Se rientrate nel quadrante: ho tanta pazienza e mi piace il mistero e il psicologico allora sì. Ma se non avete questi 3 requisiti direi di no.

[The Book Dragon · Rating 2 out of 5]

Okay, strap in, everybody cause we're going into an existential crisis mashed with ultimately unanswerable theological questions. TLDR: It was an okay-ish story that...went way out there.

So... turns out that Nakaumi can't bring himself to kill anyone who wants to live, thus he can't kill Saki, Yuri, or Yumiki, even under the influence of Dr. Yoneda's red arrow. But a second near death experience forces Yoneda to reevaluate his thought processes and we somehow come to the conclusion that Nakaumi will be the next god so time freezes and he fuses with the current god. He leaves Mirai, Saki, and Yoneda with their memories (also Yoneda keeps his red arrows) and Yuri forgets everything, but ends up working with Yoneda as her AroAce sugar daddy (because he sorta said he would and he won't go back on a promise). And in the next six or so years, Mirai and Saki go on to live happily ever after, getting married, and opening a flower shop together. All super sweet and happy endings.

Meanwhile in heaven, Nakaumi (who hasn't fully fused with the old god yet) learns all he can about the inner working of heaven so he can somehow explain it all to Yoneda. He figures out that god created humanity, but something must've also created god. Then after a hard look at the world, he came to the conclusion that god isn't needed so he kills himself. But since god made humanity, the death of god also unmade humanity. So all life on earth just poofs out of existence, and just before his turn, Dr. Yoneda comes to a conclusion that he doesn't get a chance to share with the reader.

Then we zoom out to the perspective of other god beings who pause to question their own creation and also lament that they can't die...

...because again, this story crashes into an existential crisis mashed with ultimately unanswerable theological questions. And my brain hurts trying to keep up.

Overall, I don't hate it...but it was...a lot. And I’ll also admit that my ratings on this series are higher than I would normally put them because I’m a big fan of the creators previous works. The first eight books were very much in the same vein as Death Note, with humans gaining supernatural powers and being corrupted by their own greed and hubris which ultimately leads to their downfall. Even the final conclusion sorta matches the "There is no heaven or hell" "Death is equal" ending of Death Note. I didn't even mind the discussion about whether god was actually what we imagine it to be or if it only is because we believe it should be. Even the view of things from the celestial realm was interesting. But it did end up getting very confusing and felt like it kept going in circles. It ends somewhere on the spectrum of eldritch horror, thinking on things that humans can't truly know for sure and will probably never find answers to no matter how much we try. At least that's my take on it.

This series has 14 volumes.

[Kilerart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Después de acabar toda la historia...
A diferencia de la mayoría de opiniones, a mí me ha encantado, y aunque aún no sé muy bien que decir, tengo claro que para mí se merece cinco estrellas.

Quizás ha habido partes que se me han hecho más lentas, o directamente innecesaria, pero el conjunto es lo que cuenta.

Empezando por el guión, desde los personajes, ambientación... Me ha parecido original, cierto que pueden haber muchas historias que mezclan ángeles y vida cotidiana pero creo que han sabido darle un pequeño giro que lo haga original y adictivo. Mirai, como personaje da juego. Quizás en otras obras de estos autores el personaje principal ha destacado más. Pero en Platinum end, no es necesario, el conjunto funciona bien.

A nivel artístico, de nuevo, no defrauda. Escenarios, diseño de personajes, tinta, planos... Una gozada poder leer algo con esa calidad de dibujo. (Destaco en especial los planos cenitales.)

En general, y sin hacer mucho spoiler, el final junto con el mensaje que transmite esta historia da que pensar, dejando un final a libre interpretación y que si como yo, te has adentrado entre sus páginas... Disfrutarás más todo ese transfondo que a simple "vista" no sé ve.

[Doc · Rating 4 out of 5]

And then there was one above all.

I'll be perfectly honest as we reach the end of the Platinum End manga that I started to read this series at first because it was created by the same people who did Death Note (although honestly like many others everything after L just seemed unnecessary) but when I got my bright and literally shiny manga I was drawn into a world where although similar to other stories (like Future Diaries) it had that amazing realistic drawing style and moral questionings that made Death Note a success. Certainly sometimes the story seemed to drag on here and there but in the end a winner is chosen and the end result will change the world forever but no spoilers my friends for you will have to read it yourself or seek out your spoiled goods elsewhere. :)

All in all I was satisfied with the ending of the series though honestly I did not expect things to turn out as they did (for the most part) and I hope for all of you who have likewise been reading this series for themselves that you will be as surprised and/or satisfied as I am. :)

[Urbon Adamsson · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's never a good sign when we go to the last number of a series without a single suspicion of a possible end. That usually means there isn't a well designed and planned end.

Unfortunately, that was exactly the case here. I feel Ohna had to come up with an end to wrap up the series and he didn't had one thoughted through.

There is several possible meanings for the end.

Could it mean humanity will only exist as long as God exists?
Could it mean that every dead has consequences? Even the death of a God.
Was it completely meaningless? Just an unfortunate miscalculation?

I don't know but I feel the end is not up to the series level and it might be the reason why it is not as popular as Death Note.

I still enjoyed the series overall.

[Vera Papp · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am speechless.

Tbh the series had some flaws, the pace of it wasnt quite there sometimes. Also in my opinion the battle scenes cheapened a bit the whole structere.

However I really liked how it posed questions about life, death, the role of God. I also really like this avoidant God-figure I often see in japanese literature. The characters were really well put together. I loved the ending. I liked how the series played with concepts such as « God is in all of us and we are all in God somehow ».

It was refreshing in a bitter way how nihilistic the whole series are. I understand why some people disliked it for a reason.

Last but not least the artwork was great.

[Jimmie Hua · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a twist ending, i was not expecting that to happened at all, can’t say that i prefer this ending nor dislike it, but as for the series as a whole i definitely enjoyed this read, from the standpoint of Mirai and Saki’s relationship, i was very engaged and hoping for their happiness together which was a perfect ending for the couple, as for humanity and a whole i understand the dynamic between Shuji and Yoneda and humanity and heavens vanishing was his message, but i guess it wasn’t the ending i was hoping for.

Overall this series was still really great, i enjoyed all 14 Volumes and content with how it has ended, definitely recommend this series to be read through at least once!

[Jesse · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can see how people would not like this end. That being said i believe it is a good end looking back at the questions this manga brought up. It can be frustrating to grow attached and it not go the way you wish. A part of me wants the other version of this final but wont that happiness also come to some conclusion? This is the way a final volume should be. Time to experience the results of the journey you went through. I was hurt, I felt frustration, I felt excitment and I felt happiness...

[Ariel Cruz Aleman · Rating 3 out of 5]

What kind of ending is that? Smh the character development was not what I was expecting ever since we all know how capable these authors are, maybe the target audience is different and was not supposed to be the tricky master story like Death Note (I know it sounds absurd but is the point of reference for readers/followers from Ohba and Obata). The good side from this series is the drawing, very well done and filling experience on that regard.

[Lori CucVig · Rating 5 out of 5]

La conclusione di questa avventura e collaborazione. L'ultima frase umana rimane in sospeso ed è un bellissimo finale. Le ultime parole divine rimangono un mistero e mi sembra più che ovvio. L'indagine che i nostri autori hanno fatto è comunque interessante. Tutta la questione della selezione divina risulta un buon espediente per ribadire concetti che l'umanità dovrebbe sempre ricordare. I disegni sono sempre belli e ci viene anche concessa felicità. Ben fatto ancora una volta.

[Pilii · Rating 3 out of 5]

No se que opinar realmente, no me parecio un final malo, pero si anticlimatico y del estilo "todo por nada" al que yo no le encuentro sentido. Lo que es la historia en si me parecio bastante buena, la trama es atrapante y la calidad del dibujo es casi perfecta, pero realmente me esperaba un final mejor.

[Runa Aviena · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cerita yang bagus dan penuh plot twist. Gagasan tentang Tuhan juga disampaikan dengan sangat unik dan terbuka. Bahkan di akhir pun juga masih memberikan plot twist yang cukup terasa aneh bagi banyak orang.

Meski endingnya sangat jauh dari dugaan, entah bagaimana Platinum End mampu memberikan kepuasan yang unik. As expected dari Mangaka Death Note!

Holy shit that broke me. Read the whole series in a few days after having it on hold for over a year. (Stopped somewhere around vol 9, because I didn't own the next volumes yet.) And damn that's one hel of an ending. Don't know if I like it as an ending. But at least it was yet again a big surprise.
