>>134687347
Cheers for the chapter.
Feels weird to see the end after all this time.
>>134687347
thanks man, greatest manga ending of all time
>>134687373I still don't know what I'm going to do in these threads now that I wont be dumping chapters anymore, other than waiting the finished chapters
Goodbye, Zetsubou.
>>134687347
And so it ends. Thanks as always for the chapter, Anon.
>>134687543
Now you can just count the days with us like normal.
>>134687543
There's still plenty of other Kumeta works to dump.
It just won't feel the same though, SZS was one of a kind.
So, what now? someone should start dumping Joshiraku or another Kumeta work, please
>>134687759
>>134687780
Well tomorrow another anon was wanting to dump something Kumeta related, they were talking about it a few days ago, once wefinished SZS
>>134687780
Do the 4D hats chapters that got scanlated.
>>134687780
Katte Ni Kaizou is pretty long, I'd be okay with a dump of that.
I know someone has picked up Joshiraku, so there'll be more than 14 chapters to dump in the future.
You guys do realize that there is another chapter, right?
>>134687944
It got dumped yesterday, accidentally
I worked on a couple Page 13s today. I'll post both and then pass out, since I'm very exhausted.
Chapter 248's.
>>134687780
Well, Typesetter-kun is still working on SZS chapters, and there's Katte ni Kaizo. If no one else dumps anything else tomorrow, I'll do Kakushigoto.
>>134687944
Was posted yesterday.
>>134687971
How about the extra chapter?
>>134687944
I accidentally dumped it yesterday.
>>134688001
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one, I can't remember whether it was dumped or not.
Might be worth saving til Christmas Day
>>134687982
And Chapter 256's. There's a bunch of pages that require redrawing, and that makes me sad, because I really can't draw at all.
>>134688050
I like this idea.
>>134688050
>Might be worth saving til Christmas Day
Sounds fine. As for dumping, there are also a few Kumeta one-shots like the detective one.
I want to properly tie up Chiri and do lewd things to her.
Want to start over tomorrow and dump chapter one"?
>>134689203
I'd prefer to read chapters that weren't animated, but chapter one would be nice seeing as the final chapter was dumped today.
>>134689342
we could just keep going and treat the threads as spoiler heavy deconstruction of each chapter now that the ending was shown.
>>134687347
Wait. Wasn't the chapter with that other girl who investigated after this chapter?
>>134687347
thanks Kafuka, tell the others you've been super-stars.
Thkanks for the lon long reads too.
>>134691275
posted yesterday
You decided to put it off for too long.
Are you going to put off choosing what to dump until tomorrow?
>>134687347
Cheers, anon. Also you'd better properly dump the 30X tomorrow, or else Chiri-chan might not forgive you.
>>134693077
>>134694398
So it's either I dump 30X again or pic related I guess. Although I could have sworn an anon wanted to dump it, I guess I was wrong. Also does anyone have an idea where to find a better resolution scan, the Suimasen scan version seemed pretty small.
Kumeta's Paper Blogs, from SZS Volume 30
A Written Apology *Spoiler Warning*
And so it's over. Really over. Done. Finally done. Everything is done.
Comic Natalie came to do an interview. I thought for sure that it would be about Zetsubou Sensei, but it turned out to be in regards to Joshiraku being animated. Of course. No one cares about finished series. There's no place to talk about them. No place to make excuses. So please let me talk about it here. I don't particularly enjoy talking about my own work. I don't believe it should be done. But please, let me say a little. Let me provide some answers.
I'm often asked, "Was the ending planned from the beginning?"
How foolish. That is a stupid question. It's like interviewing a soccer player, and asking him in regards to a missed pass or an awkwardly-angled kick just happening to send the ball into the goal, "Was that shot intentional?" Any striker would answer: "I planned it from the beginning!"
It's the same thing. And so I will answer the same way:
"I planned it from the beginning!!!" ...
No... that just makes it seem like I didn't. But I really did, for what it's worth. In order to dispel such doubts when it comes to serialized manga, I think endings which are decided from the beginning should be written down and sealed away somewhere for safekeeping.
>>134696284
An Initial Document. Initial Documents containing especially terrifying endings should be held by the Vatican. Then, it can be proved afterward to humanity that it was really planned from the beginning. Although, if the ending is too horrible, I suppose there's a chance the Vatican would refuse to make it public. But in the majority of cases it should be able to be proved. Of course, it would be written in an angelic script, so you can make of it whatever you wish (niyari).
One good thing about an Initial Document, is that it can be used as an excuse in the event that an ending gets stolen. For serializations, especially long-term serializations, it's not unheard of for the ending to be stolen by another series that started later and ended earlier. If an ending that you had planned from the very beginning gets stolen, there's nothing you can do but throw your hands in the air. If you change the original ending for fear of overlapping with another series, each change requires more changes, until the balance of the whole work becomes off, and on top of that no one ends up being able to see it coming. I think I would like the industry to consider buying into this idea of an Intial Document. Now then, maybe I should try to predict the ending to One Piece based on the foreshadowing and steal it in a series that ends after only five volumes (niyari).

Don't Miss Your Stop
To all of you who stuck with me until the very end, I truly thank you.
Judging by the sales numbers, it's glaringly obvious. There are many people who got off the bus about halfway.
Thank you, everyone who chose to stay on until the last.
Four different stops have been prepared for you in the final volume. All of them were designed to feel like final stops.
It's all one continuous route, rather than four branching paths, but you still get to choose where to get off. I made it into something that alternates manic-depressively between good and bad endings. Whichever bus stop you want to get out at is fine.
Chapter 30X was written during an especially unstable period, so it's actually the garage. Although I wrote it as a gag, the final product turned out more disturbing then I intended.
>>134696351
Because this series began as a tongue-in-cheek attempt at a harem manga, I decided to try to come up with a more interesting take on a harem ending, rather than multiple endings. It would make me happy if you could laugh and think of it as a gag. The foreshadowing for "Entrails Island" from 12 years ago was not something I had planned out at the time.
The Sweet Circumstances of Joshijima-kun
This is turning into an afterward where I actually talk about the work, isn't it?
Kafuka-chan was broken into pieces, and so was I. Words and pictures have now been broken apart. Now that the manga is over, only broken old me remains. The me that draws pictures and the me that comes up with dialogue will now be sold seperately. The criminal known as Miura is on the run. Shonen Magazine is still looking for him. Please come to us with any information.
>>134696382
Although it was briefly without a manager, it's been decided that "Joshiraku" will be placed in the care of Joshijima-kun. In true "joshi" (read: girly) fashion, 'like button!' He seemed excited to bring refreshments to the anime after-recording, but... he won't go. Because the after-recording starts at 10, apparently. ? ... It's not that he doesn't like waking up in the morning. The real reason surprised me. "Because the store isn't open," he said. The shop selling the special sweets he wanted to bring didn't open early enough. Even if it was open, he said 10 o'clock was too early and he'd never make it. When I asked, "Why can't you just buy them the day before, or buy something from a store closer to the studio," his response was "That doesn't make a girl happy!"
—You're a girl!?
Joshijima-kun's girlification never stops.
One day, thinking it would make her--I mean him, happy, I bought Joshijima-kun some financiers, which I knew he liked, from a highly-reviewed bakery. ...But when I gave them to him he only made a long face and started tearing up. "Thank you," he said, in a flat monotone. "I was just thinking of going there this weekend..."
>>134696416
I regret it. I stole Joshijima-kun's happiness. I ruined the weekend trip he had been looking forward to. It's like giving someone a completed stamp card that you got ahead of time at a kids' stamp rally. Like a thief from the future. Of course I regret it completely. But to hate you for giving them a present... girls make no sense. Even when they're boys, they make no sense. He says he's had a thing for honey recently... I can only imagine him covering me in it and leaving me in the forest.
Closing Words
Time flies like an arrow. Seven years of serialization went by in a flash. No, my twenty-year career as a manga artist went by in a flash. Like they say, peaches and chestnuts take three years to bear fruit, and persimmons take eight. It's not quite Girl Who Leapt Through Time, but in our industry it goes like this:
"Monochrome takes three years to bear fruit, drawing takes eight, Hata-Sensei takes nine years to come down, and non-existant anime come down in 18."
In other words, rough drafts take three years, putting it in ink takes eight, and if you want it to get animated you'd better wait 18. That's how I always thought it was.
This means if I lose my part-time job doing speech bubbles I'll be unemployed, but I will not forget the kindness of those of you who stuck with me until the very end. Will I be able to draw manga in my next life, as well? Or will I continute specializing in speech bubbles? I don't know if I'll be opening a KFC in Sado any time soon, but I was happy. That such a commonplace artist such as myself ever made it this far is thanks solely to my gifted readers. Thank you very much.
>>134696351
>Although I wrote it as a gag, the final product turned out more disturbing then I intended.
A nice way to sum everything up.
>>134687347
Glad I didn´t miss the end. I'm gonna miss this threads. Thank you.
>>134697331
we can still have them, there is still more despair to go around.
>>134689115
Every day until you turn pure.
>>134687347
Thanks! All this time, I've been saying that, but I haven't finished reading it yet from ch 30. Will continue on the day all chapters are typesetted. Guess just glad the SZS thread is being kept alive.
>>134696382
>Kafuka-chan was broken into pieces, and so was I
Kumeta seems like a dude that would hang out and laught with anyone, but when he returns home every night a small piece of him dies
>>134697932
The paper blogs were just about as good as the actual series at times.
Thanks Kumeta
>>134696416
>>134696452
This whole Joshijima-kun business sounds somewhat gay. Is Kumeta-sensei secretly gay?
>haven't been here in ~100 threads
>dream about the final chapter being posted
>come back
>final chapter being posted
This is only slightly unsettling.

by that time it was published it could be a back-handed pun on Ryōko Shintani's other role in Amagami ( Rihoko Sakurai) as well
