Even Ohba was getting bored by the end of it. Platinum End is such an embarrassing failure that unlike a lot of post success misfires that other mangaka have NOBODY liked it or are contarian enough to defend it ironically. Failures such as Gunblaze West (Watsuki) Samurai 8 (Kishimoto) or everything Yasuhiro Kanō has done after Mx0 can be argued failed because they could capture an audience right away and we cut too soon before they could truly get interesting but Platinum End should have been taken out of the pasture from the beginning.
