Well I hope it at least has a conclusion and builds up to that instead of just stopping out of the blue like the T-rex manga.

Ha, well, after looking at it today the most recently translated chapter was 105, so it sounds like one chapter and probably two epilogue extras are all that's left. :(

Wait, it's really ending like this so suddenly? I hope there's going to be a good denouement to all of this.

Fake edit: has it been said before that Rafaed looks like a grown up Seto Kaiba?

Helck had better marry Alicia, and Vamirio cries at the wedding (but not nearly as much as Azudora).

The Ura Sunday website has the last chapter listed as 最終話(前編), so there should be a part 2.

Also, the following chapter is already scheduled to release next week.

this being the first half of the story or w/e would make a lot more sense. 106 being the real ending just seems like a cancellation to me

Maybe the AAA threat isn't military, but cultural.

And Helck has win an idol contest so they back off.

there was a whole northern front that was never elaborated. i assume the plan was to go there eventually if the series had picked up enough interest. it's hard to say what the enemy would have been, since i assume once the cancellation writing was on the wall some twists planned for later were bumped up to wrap things up properly

I think they were described as giants with goals and motives that they either didn't know or could not understand. Which really seemed like a hook.

The series had picked up enough interest and it hasn't been cancelled, as Look Sharp explained:

Ura Sunday's Helck page at http://urasunday.com/helck/ does indeed state that the current chapter is "最終話(前編)", which means "Final Chapter (Part 1)". It's like the "End of Prologue" in Vinland Saga.

It also states that "次回更新は 2017/12/11" i.e. the next chapter will be out on 11 December 2017.

Actually, I did a bit more digging on Japanese comments on Ura Sunday and Twitter, and it seems like it really is ending. 'Final Chapter (Part 1)' actually means that next week is 'Final Chapter (Part 2), and is the actual end of the series.

That said, Helck is one of the most popular series on Ura Sunday, and Japanese fans don't seem as down on the climax as this thread, so don't assume that the author isn't ending it as she intended to.

:smith:

I'm still holding out hope that the mangaka does turn this into a multi-generational saga ala JJBA and there's a Part 2 starring Hyura and Edil's love-child (I haven't read the Japanese raws, but surely they got married in the series finale) with Vamirio replacing Azudora as the wise-cracking mentor figure.

it is nice to have a platonic relationship between the male and female leads. doesn't seem to happen that often
