Finally got around to read the remaining chapters, but a decent end. I don't really have a problem with him giving up becoming a master and taking care of his family, but the in-betweens were completely skipped. The thing with Shigure and the weapon guy was finished in a few comas. The whole killing wife thing was "Oops! It was a fake!" Kensei and the old hag is still alive.
Anyways, it is clear it was very rushed and I felt the epilogue could have been longer, but it wasn't a bad end anyhow. And I'm sure the manga-ka ran out of gas after so many so many chapters.
I am curious how Chikage looks on the time period of the very last page though
No more loli?
