About the author

Oh! great, whose real name is Ito Ōgure (大暮維人 Ōgure Ito) is a Japanese manga artist most recognized for the manga series Tenjho Tenge and Air Gear. In 2006, he received the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen for Air Gear. Apart from working with manga, he designed some of the alternate character outfits in the PlayStation 2 version of Namco's 3D fighting game Tekken 5, and a guest character in Soul Calibur IV named Ashlotte.

His pseudonym "Oh! great" is a play on words. His pen name, written in Japanese order, is "Ōgure Ito", which is pronounced similarly to and can be romanized the same as the Japanese rendering of the English words "Oh great," ōgurēto. Furthermore, "Oh" can mean "king" in Japanese, making it possible to read the name as "the great king".

FINAL VOLUME OMG I'M FINALLY FREE

[Szoruj · Rating 1 out of 5]

Art got considerably worse. It's still excellent, don't get me wrong, but you can literally see frames copied from the previous volumes (not for retrospection).
The ending is disappointing, a few pages of maudlin nothing. But then... the straight-up paedo fan service. If somehow you went through questionable scenes in previous volumes, you might want to gauge your eyeballs out. At least I wanted. I absolutely regret every minute of time spent with this series, and I didn't finish the last volume. It ruined a worsening experience.
Edit: I kept reading through the series, because the initial volumes were excellent, and I enjoyed OVAs. I should've sticked to those.

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass es vorbei ist😭😭
Ich hoffe so sehr, dass weitere Manga Adaptionen veröffentlicht werden. Der Manga hat mir viel besser gefallen, wie der Anime :(
