Chasaw Man author Fujimoto Tatsuki, known for creating the manga ending "pointless" but may have succeeded, with fans expressing mixed feelings about the ending. The last chapter of the series ended with an issue imagining what Denji's life would've been like if he never merged himself with Pochita, the creature who then merged himself into the world of Denji, erasing himself from existence and resulting in his human pal being saved by Power and Nayuta from his encounter with the Yakuza. Some fans expressed dissatisfaction at the ending, while others argued that the last few chapters felt like they were building to something but fizzled out. Some loyal readers also expressed dissatisfaction with the ending and questioned its omission of plot holes.
