It might sound odd, but I am not unhappy with this ending even if it felt rather rushed. I have never been a fan of Fuuga, and I still feel this is a quick and for Fuuga unsatisfying ending, especially taking into consideration how the author depicts him earlier in the series. It probably is the interaction between Souma, his kingdom and characters around him that made me enjoy the volume as much despite its ending. And me not liking Fuuga in the first place helped, not caring enough about it to influence my opinion on the book...

Volume 19 brings the long-running political fantasy series to a pivotal moment as the final confrontation with Fuuga Han unfolds. While the story stays true to the series’ core message—that intellect and strategy can triumph over brute force—the execution of this arc feels underwhelming.

The clash between Souma and Fuuga, a long-anticipated event, ends up feeling more rushed than riveting. Rather than a tense, multi-layered showdown filled with clever maneuvering or unexpected twists, the resolution is fairly predictable. Brain may have dominated brawn, but it did so without the flair or inventiveness fans have come to expect from Souma’s previous schemes.

What’s particularly disappointing is that Souma himself doesn’t seem to enjoy or take much satisfaction in his victory. There’s no clever trap, no political masterstroke—just a straightforward end that lacks the dramatic tension and satisfaction of earlier volumes. It’s not that the outcome is bad, but the way we arrive there feels flat and uninspired.

Overall, Volume 19 delivers on wrapping up a major conflict, but not in a way that feels fully earned. While the themes remain strong, the storytelling doesn’t quite rise to the occasion, leaving a finale that feels more like a missed opportunity than a triumphant conclusion.

I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the final volume next year containing all the epilogs and after stories. I know that a lot of people dislike how some of this story has continued (with a number particularly hating the antagonist), but I have not minded that as much and appreciated what I feel the author intended. I like that the story has gone on as long as it has, and I also greatly appreciate that it has reached it's conclusion, with only the final volume wrapping up loose ends and taking the story a few decades into the future to show how things go.

Wow. Good stuff.

A lot happening in this volume. Now comes the hard part: waiting patiently for the next (and last) volume to be released in English by J Novel Club. Luckily there's a short stories collection coming out soon too but that's a longer wait, unfortunately.
