Thank you translation people. you're the greatest

what happened with the second part? did they not end up together?

you're trying to get someone to post spoilers

huh? yea? thats the whole point on why I asked you this question? why is everyone in the deadlock comments so fucking weird lmaooooo

I think I remember the translators asking not to post spoilers. And they r kinda right since it kills the worth of a good thing.

And ig liking or not liking depends on perspective. Though I agree the first volume was the best of deadlock, I didn't find the other volumes bad. They were rather good. Specially how she made the Corvus affair end. I think deadlock was her finest. I remember how annoyed I was with Esu. She made it all like a bloody drama that never ends. At one point ya just loose patience and it ain't interesting anymore.
But I agree with keeping the novels and the manga separate. Since I am doing that, and it feels like I see deadlock from another perspective after seeing the manga. I still prefer novels though.

omg I was all set to agree and thank you profusely until that last sentence. LOL I like novels, too, and if that's what you meant, I like your comment very much, it's intelligent and thoughtful. If you're saying the Deadlock novel is preferable over the manga, I've got to add something. I say that Takashinu Yu really brought Deadlock to life. She has to get most of the credit, imo, for the entire project. I think that what ppl forget is that if you read Deadlock in novel form, you have Takashina Yu's fabulous art in your imagination and memory to draw on. I haven't read that much of Saki Aida's DL novel, but her other novels are a trial on my patience. I so agree with you there. SA kills the pleasure by stringing the story out so far that it feels like she's leading the reader by the nose just to keep them reading while being obvious about it. I don't like to be played. When I can see through the story to the money, I stop being pleased with the author for a time. I think her novels are okay, but also an infuriating experience at the same time. Along with the string-out, she will coldly dispose of a character she's made the reader love. She did it with Deadlock, but that's a spoiler I won't reveal. The takeaway from her novels, for me, is that they are okay, even pretty good, but I don't want to go through the emotional roller coaster of reading another.

I didn't read this after ya wrote "Deadlock novel was better than the manga" cause I totally didn't mean that. I meant I generally prefer novels over manga. Hope this clears it. Glad ya agree with the rest though.

Now that I read this(I thought it was rude not to), It totally agree and this was exactly the case with Esu(I see less of this in deadlock though). Same problem. And yup Takashina Yu brought a new life to deadlock.

look spoilers aint that big of a deal when you marked them properly, and there are literally already ppl spoiling what happens with Corvus soooooo I just wanted to know if they end together or not. im not going to waste my time if I end up disliking the ending. yea ik im a freak, I always read the ending first and see if its too my taste, like I literally go to barnes and noble and read the last page lol

Since it's such a little thing lemme tell ya. This manga (if it goes according to the novel and some extras) has a happy ending. Yes they end up together.
Actually, I totally understand spoilers aren't a big deal when marked. But when the first arc hadn't ended, a lotta ppl read some cd translations and started posting spoilers. There was no fun left in the manga. So the translators insisted to stop setting spoilers and ruining the fun. That's it. Ya can ask in private messages if ya want someone to.
