It's over...

>>279620606
Don't cry because it's over, cry because nips suck at writing endings.

>>279620658
He's name-dropping Rockenfield

>>279620725
How would he even know about Francine's last moments?

>>279620578 (OP)
Shirogane and her two boyfriends

>>279620578 (OP)
KINOOOOOOOOOO

There not way this ending it's gonna be good

>>279620823
He's drunk everyone's blood at this point.

>>279620876
I fucking love this.

>>279620876
Hah

>>279620578 (OP)
Why the hell did they cram a 42 volume manga into a 36 episode series.

>>279620863
Second time he's done that.

>>279620876
>WORDSWORDSWORDSWORDS
Thanks Masaru

Favorite spread of the series

this page makes it feel worth it

Sweet, my popcorn's done.

It's been a ride Tin2.

>>279621284
our hero... chimney sweep

>>279621174
ITS PEAK

>>279621274
Ride's not over yet, but it has sure been a wild one so far

>>279621258
>>279621243
>>279621268

this it's getting silly

>>279621174
OUR HEROES!!!!

>>279621365
It's silly but Masaru is right i nwhat needs to be done. Narumi is a being a brooding asshole to a girl who would happily give her life if it meant he would smile again.

>>279621210

>>279621322
>>279621343
>>279621356
God Narumi has been unreasonable this whole time but Im glad it got to be Masaru who finally returns the favor and saves Narumi. It kills me that he's still hiding from Narumi

>>279621450
God Liese in a pleated short skirt and blouse with knee high socks is just ultra cute.

>>279620658
Feels like this was mentioned multiple times but never elaborated on, what was the automata battle of '82?

>>279621396
More importantly, shouldn't he already know whatever Faceless knows?

>>279621174
One of the pages of all time.

>>279621487
LIESE BROS WE WON?!?

>>279620924
Rip, surely they can rebuild him. He's not even that damaged compared to Pantalone and the others after Midnight Circus.

>>279621557
Oh man, this fight is still going. I guess I can excuse anything if it's an excuse to put Shirogane in a wedding dress though.

>>279621487
She wins????

>>279621677
AS I LIVE AND FUCKING BREATHE

>>279621670
the robot maid sent up to space with Masaru is the real winner

I won't be able to stay until the end, I think, so I just wanted to thank you for dumping this. It was fun.

>>279621727

Thank you for the read, buddy.

>>279621976
>just introduce some entirely new hero who is better than the main characters in the last volume to save the day
Man fuck Chimney Sweep, this is just as bad as that archer guy who suddenly shows up at the end The Hobbit to defeat the dragon.

>>279621976
>that's the worst name I ever heard

>>279621884

Bravo Fujita?
>>279621557
lol wut

>>279622420
That's pretty pathetic lmao, how much seed do you think he spilled into them while waiting for someone confront him.

>>279622252
He's joining vilma and george ;w;

chop Jins arms and legs off and start fucking the francine dolls

>>279622420
A Francine harem!?

>>279622449
I can't believe he brought almendra with him. He really was lonely

>>279622202
I looked it up and I don't think it's supposed to mean anything, it's just a made up reading for "god". But it looks japs on twitter are still memeing ボフよ to this day which is quite funny.

>>279621976
Hey where's Vilma?

>>279622546

He KNEELED.

>>279622420
...why didn't you do that before?

>>279622552
/a/non I'm sorry she didn't make it. No like seriously her and Ashihana are the last casualties of the manga.

>>279621059
It's been over for a long time, and you'd be crazy to expect anything.

>>279621059
They thought they could do like the Ushio and Tora with cutting off parts I think.

>>279621693
So the baby was just lying on the floor for two weeks?

>>279622595
Anons have no media literacy, part 43.

Does KC have the highest body count of all Fujita's manga?

>>279622684
>I forced you to be a cuck!

>>279621884
Wait, did Narumi just run blindly through the Russian countryside, punching his way through buildings, until he just so happened to find Eleonore?

>>279622712
I think the priest only had a milder case of the syndrome, so must have taken care of the baby.

>>279622720

>>279621926
>>279621940
How did Fujita do it? Love won.

>>279622815
Nah, the old man drove him to where he thought Harlequin might've taken Shirogane.
>>279621957

>>279622420
Is it just my memory or does he actually look better than he did in the past

>>279622175
Told ya they would get the last smile. Their loyalty got them what they wanted, even if twisted.
Also shed a tear here.

>>279622773
Believe it or not no lmao.
Permanent deaths? Yes
But in terms of casualties Moonlight Act literally had an arc with a creature literally killing the entirety of Japan and was almost succeeded in plunging the Earth into oblivion. Of course the damage was reverse in the end but if it didn't then... Yeah.

>>279622777
Older Masaru looks weird.

>>279622877
I mean every other time we have seen the past the brothers had the faces of Narumi and Masaru due to memory viewing shit
so when we saw Jin on the broadcast the other day I think that's the first time we see what he actually looked like

>>279620876
Fuck that's cool

>>279622892
Eh. Hate that kind of shit. Guess I trust Fujita more than the average hack like Kishimoto, but writing something like this to a satisfying result is very hard.

>>279622946
Says the guy who failed to do that... Three times in a row.

>>279621174
I FUCKING KNEEL

>>279622950
Well Moonlight Act is a comedy manga (up to a certain point but it is still a comedy manga) so I don't mind. Plus that arc was in the beginning of the manga too.

>>279622877
Maybe you're thinking of Masaru's version of him who had the stupid fish cake eyebrows.

>>279622990
Bark-Jin so embarrassed by his other self he commits suicide

>>279622826
Damn. This gets me every time. Masaru and Bai Jin have a core emotional connection here even if its just their childish feelings.

>>279623098

>>279623150
AAIIEEEE

>>279623087
It's through that common trait that Jin actually manages to fucking think of another human being besides himself for once. The power of projection is something else.

>>279621884
I had forgotten about this page. Absolute kino

>>279623200
>Maybe the second hand embarassment was too much, just like that dog

>>279620924
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

>>279622990
This entire final conflict is basically Jin arguing with himself, Faceless, Masaru and dog Jin are just reflections of the same cuck.

Can you blame him?

I half expected Houan to be in the background shouting "STOP TELLING PEOPLE THAT I'M DEAD!"

>>279624060
At least Masaru came back for Liese. That makes it a good ending in my book.

>>279624060
>>279624074
Masaru could be plapping this...

>>279623981
He's dead!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>279624060
>>279624074
he even has the same ending as Simon
that guy in the first threads really was right about this being a sort of proto gurren lagann

Thanks OP I can't stop reading storytimes in part due to your efforts. I love Karakuri Circus so much.

>>279624210
PEAK.

Unlike a lot of the readers, i greatly prefer Masaru over Narumi. Masaru's plotline was always fun, but all that "edgy" Narumi stuff dragged out the story for me. Still love the manga overall.

That's the Gash Bell guy right?

>>279624210
HE SAID IT

Rereading this made me appreciate the ending more

>>279624330
THE KUROKO NO BASKET GUY? HE WORKED AS AN ASSISTANT?
>>279624366
Oh hi there Makoto. I hope you won't try to speak out against Shogakukan and get into a fight with your own editors one day.

>>279624246
Even it doctor is here!

>>279624344
Fukuda is the Mushibugyo and the guitar lesbians mangaka?

>>279624465
Yeah, same guy.

the amount of time here put into thanking all the assistants and people involved reminds me of Ajin

>>279624271
So did Francine and Eleonor as well as Yin and Narumi JUST look like each other then?

>actually crediting his assistants
I wish mangaka did this more frequently.

Kudos to the scanlation team, this was a long arduous project and they did damn well

>>279623635
Pretty sure it got destroyed by the shirogane-o when they were trying to kill Heima.

>>279624297
Gee, Faceless, how come your mom lets you appear three times in a single page?

Perfect credits roll.

End of Dump, and End of Series!

Sorry for the patchier less organized release of this compared to Toriko, and a more muted approach. I didn't have my heart in it, yet continued, didn't want to leave any loose ends. After all, I promised I'd dump it, the (proper) winner of the poll. Storytimes became a bit too prevalent on /a/ lately as well, and with becoming more busy IRL I'll lay off dumps for a while, especially with this moniker.

So, this'll likely where I exit the stage as well, as the curtains fall one last time.
Thank you all!

>>279624545
>among us
man this really shows how long it took for this to get a full translation

>>279624526
I think volume books always end with assistant credits.

>>279624564
Thanks for the dump tin2!
What was your thoughts on this series?

>>279624246
>>279624271
>>279624283
>>279624297

maybe one of the best ending sequences i ever seen

>>279624344
I love elves too.

>>279624576
Huh, serves me right for being an EOP then since I rarely see those parts translated.

>>279624564
Thank you for showing this manga to us Tin 2
and for ignoring the Italians that tried to prevent it
I probably would not have known about this manga or read it if it wasn't for you
I look forward to your next show, whenever that may be.

Karakuri Circus is Fujita's magnum opus, and possibly one of the best manga in existence. Glad to see this ride to the end!

>>279624564
Thanks for all your hard work. You will always be the real tin in our hearts!

>>279624564
Thanks, Tin (the 2nd). This was my second time reading it. I definitely noticed some flaws I hadn't before, but this is still one of my favorite manga of all time.

>>279624564
thanks anon

i noticed the storytime before, but it was already halfway through for me to start reading

All said, would you guys recomend karakuri Circus? What's good about this series? Might pick it up later

>>279624468
Shirogane's super beautiful life-size figure in the WIDE version
What?

>>279624759
it was pretty good

>>279624759
i think everyone here recommend it

>what's good
it's a fun and very GAR series, with iconic fights and memorable moments
Masaru and Narumi feels very like Simon and Kamina

The ending was fine, what was that anon problem?

>>279624800
if i remember correctly, people initially complained this was a theater production and the last 2/3 fights were too rushed

In honor of the late great Flash Jimmy, I now present The Album of Agony!

>>279624608
I was reading the series as I was dumping (kinda, some days mainly dumped and then caught up later) and I enjoyed the first third quite a lot. The duo protagonist idea, from the differing tones in each and as they slowly started to intertwine. But, after the flashbacks arcs really started ramping up, and then parts like the village arc made me start losing interest a bit as the pace slowed down. But, I still enjoyed a lot of small parts from these arcs, and reading dumps as other anons root for smaller characters or other details made it more fun.

But, when I was reading the final volume to prep for the dump, and seeing the curtain call >>279624234 pages, something kinda clicked with me. I felt more warm and fuzzy than I expected when I was reading this series, and made me realize, I resonated with this weird story more than I expected. I think I see the vision Fujita had in mind, and I'll cherish it for that.

>>279624246
>>279624256
>>279624271
>>279624283
I can just imagine everyone are still alive and the entire manga was a play, and this is just a show they do every year. Occasionally there are some haters who threw tomatoes onto the stage but they got jumped after the show ends like how Bruce Wayne's parents died.
>>279624759
Sure, its a hella good manga with tragedy, happiness and fill with action and comedy. Its just a fun package all around.

>>279624759
Yeah, if you like hot-blooded action like TTGL then KC is definitely a must-read.

Erm so no Narumi, Shirogane and Masaru reunion?

I can finally post this.

To celebrate the end of Karakuri, I will dump one chapter of Shimamoto manga about Karakuri's ending. I translate all myself with google and ai translator, so this really a low-quality work.

>>279623981
Fuck...

>>279624433

I always loved the part. I love it when animated(or in this case drawn) stuff treats itself like a production. Like the "outakes" in the first couple Pixar movies.

>>279624786

>>279625031
Oh yeah, I remember this. Some sort of proto-KC.

>>279624564
Thank you OP. I adore this series and Fujita works in general. His stuff doesn't get anywhere near the amount of love and respect it should in western anime community but I blame that on a lot of it just never getting official releases here.
Besides the Obvious Karakuri and Ushio and Tora I also love the Black Museum. Can't believe that has an official English release but karakuri still doesn't.

>>279625147
