A low-key series comes to a low-key conclusion. The fate of the world is at stake, but to save it all the protagonist has to do is put on good concert? Sure.
A good chunk of the volume is simply spent visiting the many supporting characters to see how they'll be getting on, and "more of the same" seems to be the popular response.
The author admits in the end material that not a lot of effort was put into the creation of many of the cast members, a lot of attempts to give them fuller lives were nixed by the editor or dumped for lack of time and space, and the volumes in the closing stretch were filler to get to some arbitrary goals (first a specific holiday date and then slipping to 100 chapters). And yeah, that lack of effort shows up on the pages as coasting, but I still enjoyed my time with these amusing characters.

While I think Hinamatsuri's gags started to taper off towards the end, I think we got a nice enough conclusion that made me happy to read it. The final rock concert ended up being an 'arc' but it had some good gags- specifically the car chase on the way there. The epilogue chapters were sweet, I like the combination of actual growth for the characters alongside some great gags that had me laughing even knowing it's the end.
Buku terakhir komik Hinamatsuri. Dapat habiskan kesemua 100 chapters dalam masa 2 hari. Secara ringkasnya, manga ni boleh dianggap sebagai satu masterpiece. Scene2 komedi, aksi, dan slice of life dalam manga ni begitu menghiburkan. Endingnya juga memuaskan, walaupun rasa banyak lagi plot yg boleh diterokai (harap ada sambungan nanti). Perkembangan plot dan character building manga ni juga mantap, puas melihat perkembangan watak Hina, Nitta, serta beberapa lagi watak utama (seperti Anzu, Mao, dan Hitomi) dari zaman Hina di middle school hingga ke kolej.
