Tf was that ending omg
I feel like when you spend so long cooking a new recipe and everything looks amazing but then you try it and it tastes like garbage.

What the actual hell just happened?
It honestly feels like that ending was written by someone else. It makes absolutely no sense. I would've been happier if she had actually died (like she was supposed to). Like, it makes absolutely no sense for her to magically recover and then NO ONE BOTHERED TO LOOK FOR HIM AND TELL HIM.
I don't understand, I hated it. I knew people were hating on the ending but i thought to myself "I can't be that bad". Well, it surely can! It was that bad!

I understand the desire to make them end together and give them a happy ending, but this story was never built to have a happy ending. We knew it from the start. The story all along was bittersweet and quite dark, this isn't a cozy love story. A bittersweet ending was the most logical answer, but seems like logic went flying out of the window and instead we got this nonsensical and ridiculous ending. I'm sooo disappointed.

2.5 ⭐️ rounded up. Well she should have been a better communicator and just tell him all about it 😭 God why make things soo suspicious and hard….Maybe it’s a me issue. Please do not attack me for this.

Si no fuese por la última mitad del capítulo final, le habría dado 5 estrellas. Igual lloré mucho.

Omg its over. This might seem a bit controversial, but I really like the ending. It was bittersweet to me like it still gave the Angst that people wanted but a better ending than the one that was set up. In my opinion. It also has been announced that they’re going to be doing bonus chapters so I’m excited to read that.

There is no better ending for this series, and if you disagree, you clearly have a problem

[Camila · Rating 4 out of 5]

Forewarning. Please pardon my language, but seriously....

WHAT THE F*CK ALL WAS THAT?!?!?!

First, I don't start rooting for the romance, then you show me another side to the unhinged main male lead and I'm like, okay, I can understand where he is coming from. Doesn't justify his actions but I get it. So I start rooting for the couple to end up together. And THEN you kill off Satoko and I'm like, okay, I'll cry after the last few pages even though this was hinted at in the beginning.

AND THEN, AFTER 70+ YEARS HAVE PASSED, YOU PULL AN "OH HO! SATOKO WAS ACTUALLY ALIVE ALL ALONG AND NOW THEY CAN FINALLY BE TOGETHER"?!?! AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF ASH???



The author is damn lucky I enjoyed the story for the most part, or else I would RIOT. I get that the ending is meant to represent Satoko and Shinpei repenting for the sins of their past and yah-di-da, but COME ON. They were ready to let that all go! This is already a messed up story, so you might as well give us a messed up happy ending! Gosh!



Now that that's over, I would still recommend this series because at the core of it all, it's a fun read that will pull at all of your emotions.

XOXO

I really think this series lost its soul when the big bad was revealed to be her doggone daddy in the most convoluted way ever.

I loved Satoko's confidence and determination throughout this series before she was turned into a sad sack. And, given her circumstances, I understand, but it felt like a character regression. This series made me root for a yandere/overly obsessed dude's love story, and though I wanted Satoko and Shinpei together, I was counting down the inevitable.

But with this ending, what's the point of the firefly theme??? Because the last of their life is fleeting, maybe. Somebody lying. Either Satoko was married and had to wait to be single again, Kotaro purposefully kept them apart, or Shinpei is delulu. This feels like either editor meddling or an author who didn't plan or had to drastically change their ending.

On a positive note, I enjoyed Shinpei's silent breakdown. The showing was immaculate. How Kotaro completely blurs out of focus, and Shinpei can no longer deny she's gone. Or was before, y'know.

This series is still worth reading. Just temper your expectations for the ending.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

not this sht again…aaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhh. once again a man comes in, she is being kind to them, he starts liking her, decides things for her even though she doesn’t want anything from them. she says i will go to hell with him. do you think she was joking. no sir she was being honest to you. why man doesn’t understand being kind does not mean she wants something from you like love. why they don’t understand kindness is just comes from someone just being good. i am getting more angry when i think about it more. ugh. i am so pissed off. what are we reading? (side note my girl looked so good in that dress. i love it. also why shinpei was kinda you know…ho- i mean also look good in that suit.)

[Tiera Cherie · Rating 2 out of 5]

okay…I’m confused 😭 I honestly think the story lost steam once Satoko was introduced to the duke character. everything felt all over the place and not like the original story I was enjoying. that ending was a mess…I’m honestly just going to pretend it was Shinpei’s hallucination in his old age…I’m content with that. I really didn’t like how the author portrayed Satoko in the last few volumes. She went from being a character I loved to a character I would roll my eyes at. I also wanted to get a bit more of a glimpse into Shinpei’s past, but other than that the story isn’t terrible. Just a few weird volumes leading up to a weird ending. I’d give the entire series a 6/10!

Sometimes sad ending is a better ending... but instead we got this 😅 Still, main themes in this novela were important and were approached wonderfully. I really liked historical and culturals moments integrated there. We could also see many characters growth, we get to see why they are like that and I'm very thankful for that.

Spoilers:

The best of their youth and health being apart and then meeting again at old age just to be parted again and this time for good (having in mind their old age)? sure it has beauty of it's own, but I wouldn't call it a bittersweet ending 😅 not even mentioning the miracles healing and living wayyyyy to long than it's statistically possible😂

Alguien me esta grabando porque esto tiene que ser una broma, al principio todo bien ella eventualmente murió lo cual no fue una sorpresa porque ella estaba bastante enferma di mi lloradita y lloré aún más viendo como el intento salir adelante y buscarle un significado a su vida y después me pones que luego de como 50 años el va a la isla y resulta que ella está viva
Que es esa mierda de final? Es que ni sentido tiene
Como mierda nadie pensó en buscarlo y decirle? Y para el colmo es que no tiene sentido como mágicamente apareció un doctor y dique que curo su enfermedad
Si los querían juntos debieron haberle dado otro final, yo preferiría que se quedara muerta a esa mierda

[Lucía Carmona · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hoy me he leído el capitulo final de esta historia, no sé si es porque me lo he ido leyendo mientras se ha ido actualizando o que pero para mi va a ser 5 estrellas solo por los últimos capitulos desgarradores, son las 6 y media de la mañana y no puedo dejar de llorar.

Es un final tan triste y a la vez tan bonito.

Aunque empezó de una manera cuestionable, no me arrepiento de leerme esta historia. La empecé cuando apenas llevaba 30 capitulos sacados y hoy ha terminado con su capitulo 79.

[SummerRae · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read this Manga not taking it very seriously. I'm a big girl and very much know the difference between fantasy and reality, this story and this relationship was an over the top fun albeit sometimes sad fantasy. So, why am I supposed to take it so seriously and want to tie everything in a morally perfect bow in the end? The journey did not match the ending...we didn't need this ending. Just dissapointing honestly...

Quando o casamento falso da Satoko foi anunciado com o Mitsuharu, a qualidade do enredo diminui consideravelmente. A luta do Goto contra os seguranças do Mitsuharu no meio do casamento arranjado foi uma completa perda de tempo. Qual foi o real objetivo? Nenhum. A autora preferiu inserir um "deus ex machina" para que a narrativa seguisse o rumo para a felicidade do casal principal, contudo a história acabou no mesmo momento.
Firefly Wedding é um mangá difícil de ser apreciado devido os protagonistas serem bastante desagradáveis, nenhum dois se consegue alguma tipo de empatia. A Satoko sempre possui a beleza a seu favor, e a personagem só se resumiu a ser bela. Primeira vez que eu não suporto um personagem masculino como o Goto, ele é intragável.

A Satoko e o Goto se reunirem apenas na velhice foi uma punição para as maldades que ele cometeu ao longo da vida dele. Só é estranho a Satoko ter sobrevivido tanto tempo mesmo sofrendo de uma doença cardiovascular. Acho meu impossível ter acontecido.
Eu fico pensando que a escritora mudou o final porque o mangá vai ter uma adaptação. Que pena.

[Carolina · Rating 2 out of 5]

Que final decepcionante.
Hubiera sido mejor y más piadoso que ella falleciera.
¿Cómo me la vas a curar y al mismo tiempo hacer que se desencuentren la mayor parte de sus vidas porque él no pudo soportar el creer que se había muerto y SE FUE SIN RUMBO?!?!?!?! Crueldad nunca antes leída, jajajaja lpm, que broncaaaa.

[Veli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mostly, I enjoyed the whole serie of the manga. But I had change the ending in my mind, otherwise it would be to sad. I decided that after he thought she's dead, he traveled but only for 5 years, then returned and realised she's alive. THAT ending is far more less sad, actually it's very happy.

[Liz · Rating 5 out of 5]

no voy a poder superar este manga, desde el cap 1 se sabia el final y aun asi sentia que no iba a ser asi😭 me dieron esperanzas y si pense q terminaria bien

[ornella · Rating 4 out of 5]

Estoy velando a estos personajes como si fuesen mis amigos personales de toda la vida!!!! No sé qué voy a hacer cuando este manga se termine, ojalá sea eterno.

i still love the whole manga but that ending made me sick

[Lisa musa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Did I ball my eyes out yeah 🥹

[hibiscus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Now why would you end it like that

[megan⋆⭒˚｡⋆ · Rating 3 out of 5]

the fact that this is the ending... disappointing

[Gianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

i think this has the last chapters… could be wrong tho but it ended so strangely

[aiga · Rating 2 out of 5]

Me bawling my eyes out for most of the ending and then reading the last chapter What The Actual Hell was that

[marylife · Rating 5 out of 5]

I actually liked that ending even though it was diabolical. Fireflies only live so short so it made sense that their wedding only lasted so short as well. Still so painful.

[Judith · Rating 3 out of 5]

if I could be honest i don't like the ending.
