| So, Deadman Wonderland is being listed as "completed" as of the release of the last chapter, with one more to come, including comments from the author and such, but what is out now is pretty much the ending it seems... Anyone else follow the manga? It's my first manga and I've spent 2 years following it, all the way until the end! So... any thoughts on the ending? - Spoilers ahead:
I think Shiro's state at the end is a little depressing, but realistic. She needed help for her mental well being, although one may argue she didn't really have a split personality to begin with, as she revealed in the end.
Also, based on what the transsexual girl (No idea what her name was) said at the end, I think it could have been possible that the whole scenario was a metaphor, with the branch of sin being the drive to live, Shiro's condition at the end could be explained as: She is paralyzed and has the strongest drive of anyone to live a happy life with the one who comes in to see her every day, Ganta. Her killing his friends could be his internal struggle to decide if the time he spends going to see her is going to cost him his personal life with his friends, making him choose between them. A choice he reluctantly makes, choosing Shiro over everyone. DW would be the representation of submission to fate, acceptance of a life that is less then what you deserve. The drive to succeed and better your life can help you escape the shackles of fate that are binding you to a hellish nightmare of a life... or something like that... I could go on, but it's just a theory, it's getting late, and I really don't even know if anyone else here kept up with the series... If you want, I could go on, but I mostly just want opinions of the ending from anyone else who may have read it.
All in all, it was ok... I'm a little disappointed in Shiro's ending, but other than that, it was alright.
