This ended so quickly. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ending. Like it wasn't much of a conclusion and I still don't feel like I learned enough from the characters. Everyone made up in a way and they apologized and sort of became friend again?? But the wrongs weren't necessarily forgiven. Idk. It was so weird and abrupt and it just wasn't enough for me.
Also the one shot at the end about the kid who died of neglect and just kept being reborn to see his mom again was so fucking weird?? Just strange stories all around.

The love story at the end killed me, in a good and bad way. I wish there had been a better end to the manga, many apologies needed to be said and the characters were lacking depth sometimes.

Volume 3 is the final volume. While the volume itself was well paced, I feel that the author hasn't explored her story to its fullest potential.
The characters are compelling, and realistic in the way they hurt others. Unfortunately, I feel that they don't show as much remorse towards their victims as they should. This would've made sense in a longer series where they're still undergoing their character arcs and facing the consequences of their actions, and not in the final volume of their series.Tsugu is the closest thing the story has to a protagonist, but her character is stagnant in comparison to the rest of the cast, at least until the last few chapters. I think it's a deliberate choice by the author, since she wanted to shed more of a spotlight on the other characters, but I think it's a bit of a waste that she didn't have a "I want to change!" moment that the others had. Despite this, I found The Golden Sheep a very fulfilling story to read. While I don't think it reached its full potential, I'm only upset because I was attached to the main cast and their journeys. I felt very emotional during the final chapter, and was sad to see it end.

The one-shot (standalone story) at the end of the volume was interested in the technical sense as (I believe) it implies that the manga could've been longer, but that the author chose to end it that way.
As for the one-shot's story, I really enjoyed it! It's about a human soul who decides to reincarnate as the son of a very young woman.The story is told from the perspective of the son in heaven after dying, showing the consequences of his death afterwards. It made me tear up multiple times during the course of the story. It touches on life, death, poverty, motherhood, and love.

It felt like a very abrupt ending to the series. It gave a very hopeful ending, but I didn't think how tsuga and Sora were treated by Yuushin and Asari was forgivable.

Dies ist der letzte Teil der The Golden Sheep Reihe und auch wenn er keine Lösung für die harten Konflikte bietet, gibt es doch ein Ende. Ob man dieses als rund bezeichnen sollte, ist eine Frage, die man aus verschiedenen Perspektiven unterschiedlich beantworten könnte. Ich persönlich bin nicht unbefriedigt, hätte jedoch gerne noch mehr Zeit mit den Figuren verbracht und sie noch näher kennengelernt. Ich glaube mit ein wenig mehr Zeit und Entwicklung hätte ich diese Reihe sehr, sehr schätzen können, so lässt sie mich zwar zufrieden zurück, wird aber wahrscheinlich keinen nachhaltig emotionalen Beitrag zu meinem Alltag bieten. In meinen Augen ist das schade, denn die Themen die die Reihe öffnet, lässt sie nun mehr oder weniger halbzugeschraubt zurück. Wir reden hier von extremen Mobbingsituationen und Inhalten, die potenziell triggern können und da hätte dem Ganzen eine Lösung wirklich gut getan. Lesende die sich hier emotional mit viel Energie behaupten, könnten demnach ziemlich unzufrieden sein. Schlussendlich romantisiert die Reihe das Problem, das Mobbing darstellt, nicht, sodass ich sie trotz schmalem Ende als gelungen betrachten würde. Dennoch möchte ich ein Wort der Warnung an Betroffene richten: dieses Buch öffnet das Thema Veränderung, Mobbing und Pubertät und entzaubert Geschichten, die im Kontext Freundschaft von "Für immer" sprechen. Allerdings folgt dieser authentischen Darstellung kein abgeschlossener Heilungsprozess oder gar eine Entschuldigung.

I really enjoyed this series and couldn't believe this is the last volume! I rated the first two 4 stars but deducted a half star for this one because I felt it ended kinda abruptly? Especially felt duped because of the bonus short story that took up a good chunk of the end.
