It's been around a month since the manga ended and in that time ive seen countless videos, posts and memes expressing frustration amoung fans and honestly i can't blame them.
I mean a complete universe reset in 2 chapters is a tough pill to swallow in any series but when you leave so many mysteries and questions up in the air people are gonna feel cheated. Not to mention how it affects the characters and motivations that people had been investing in for years at this point. I truly can't say anyone who dislikes the ending is wrong for feeling that way.
Yet with that being said...I like the ending.
Don't get me wrong i definitely wanted more to really flesh out the characters in this brand new world and think part 2 could be handled better in general but even still i was left oddly satisfied with the ending. To me it felt like denji was finally getting an honest to god shot at a normal life and things could start improving for him down the line.
And tbh the thing i hate most about the ending is the discourse surrounding it. It feels like if you dislike the ending you'll be accused of not reading or understanding what fujimoto was doing, and if you do like it you'll be called a glazer or a lover of themes and such. Both camps seem to hate eachother and i think that muddles any real discussions on the story.
CSM will always hold a place in my heart and I wish the ending could've satisfied the community at large but for what it's worth I'm at peace
