In fact, it could take years before it actually concludes."Really good manga but I find the anime a bit disappointing," one fan said."Relax this stuff Is always vague, could take even years to really end... For sure it's not gonna end in a couple of months," another fan added."Good, Finish it. I can feel the Author burn out with the story in recent chapter. Better finish it or get axed like Shokugeki no Soma," another fan said."After one piece is over the company gon shut down," other fan said.Meanwhile, the other fans are glad the series is ending because they believe that the manga creator is experiencing burnout. For them, it would be better for the series to finish on its own terms than get axed by Shueisha.
