No one expects a happy ending, that’s for sure.
Summary:
- No one knows when the finale of Made in Abyss will arrive.
- The thing fans want to see in the finale the most is the explanation of the Abyss origin.
- Readers expect the ending to be heart-breaking.
The Made in Abyss manga has been around for more than 10 years, but it’s still yet to be finished. Knowing the release schedule of the series, the finale might take years to arrive, but fans still can’t help but think about the ending of the manga.
Made in Abyss is notorious for being extremely dark and distressing, so hardly anyone expects a happy ending from a series like that. There’s a small chance that the kids will find what they’re looking for in the Abyss and come back safe and sound, but we have to be honest, that sounds fake.
True Origin of the Abyss
Readers admit that the most important thing in the finale shouldn’t be the fate of all the kids, it should be the Abyss. It’s been a huge mystery from the first chapter of the story, and no matter how deep Riko goes into the hole, there never seem to be enough answers.
That’s why the most common hope is that we’ll learn about the nature and origin of the Abyss. How was it created? Who did it? Why are there so many monsters? All the little details have to be explained, and for a number of readers it will be enough.
Kids Stay in the Abyss
Another idea is that Riko and the others always knew that their journey was a one-way trip. Getting back from the Abyss is out of the question, and the deeper they go, the harder it’ll be to return.
Perhaps they’re not supposed to return then? They’ve already met other people living in the Abyss, so there’s a chance that they’ll join them and stay there for the rest of their lives. Hopefully, not very short ones.
Everyone Dies
Knowing Made in Abyss and its cruelty, suggesting that all protagonists might just die at the end of the series is always an option. To make it even more poetic, their souls might continue living and even reunite after some years, along with the rest of the souls of people who died in the Abyss.
And fans don’t mind this outcome. On the contrary, they hope that the ending will be the most soul-crushing and bizarre thing they’ve ever seen. This is why they love Made in Abyss so much.
A lot of manga make their readers worried about the finale, but Made in Abyss fans don’t seem to be among them. The series is heading in the right direction right now, and it truly feels like everything has its purpose. That’s why they’re so chill about waiting for months for new chapters: they have full trust in the author.
