Ariyuki's death. The fifth is Ariyuki's child, revolt and leave the family and built Gokadoin, also the one who create the spring in half yokai village
Encho stealthily tried to runaway, but Yanagida stabbed him. Yanagida is also Nose, as with Sanmoto's nose (bell) he sniff around for horror story

The 3rd's generation story start with Shoei report to his father while visiting his grave, he's the one who defeated Ibaraki. There, Rikuo and Zen who also visiting the grave for victims from their clan appear. Actually, when they are child, the 3 of them play together. When Rihan and then Zen's father died, the 3 make an oath to protect the clan. Shoei's mother is a human, so he's half human. Zen and Shoei have argument on who is number one follower, finished by they saying to protect their oath that time (this story draft is written by anime 2nd season scriptwriter)

Rikuo going mad is about him getting drunk, beside seducing the girls (Kejoro, Sasami, Wakana, Gozumaru (drunk and crossdressed), Nuregarasu, Kejoro again) he also said rash remarks to the guys, when the clan try to stop him, Tsurara that happent to be there is forcefully matoi-ed (but their dialogue make it looks like Rikuo trying to forcefully xxx Tsurara...)

Dark Pawnshop, Ryuji acting as Dark Pawnshop in the front of a suspicious collector, Ryuji's intention is to destroy an organization who make deals with real yokai's corpse. He heard the real dark pawnshop info from the collector and there info about hunter who hunt down yokai and sell them out, Ryuji got counterattacked by the shopkeeper but with Yura's help, he win. Main house's eldest son die young, so he has resolution to become foundation for Yura and other Keikain, but now, he wants to walk together longer with Yura and the others, so he make himself believe that the curse already removed

Hagoromo Gitsune bring wounded Rikuo to half yokai village. Previously, when Gitsune still laying in the spring, there was also Rihan's corpse. Rihan and Yamabuki's soul met, and because of her love, Yamabuki try to release Rihan free and back out. When stabbed by Otome, Rihan felt guilt as he thinks that Yamabuki resent him and he was unable to make her happy. Their misunderstanding is solved, but while she want to go to the road to underworld with him, Otome said that there is still something he need to do as Yamabuki Gitsune.
To finish things with "this body"'s son, Seimei, Hagoromo Gitsune went.
And now, thanks to Rikuo, Seimei is death and with him, Shinoda no Bakegitsune also went along and the curse is removed. Otome's soul back to Rihan's side.
Rihan leave word that he entrust Wakana to waking Rikuo
Hagoromo Gitsune is now exist not as Kitsune or Otome, but as independent "The boss of Kyo Yokai" and go home with Kyokotsu.

Omake no omake
Setsura said that he will go home tomorrow, so during tomorrow, Tsurara has to steal Rikuo's lips. That word make Tsurara unintentionally conscious of Rikuo. Rikuo and Kana in the gym's storehouse, hearing that Tsurara's worried of Toloveru accident may happened and go there, but Kana already go home. On the contrary, Tsurara and Rikuo get a trouble.
When Tsurara try to help Rikuo in the gym's storehouse, the luggage falldown and Rikuo and Tsurara get glued down together, they're in a good mood and Rikuo try to kiss Tsurara and get his face closer
But then Ao appear and nothing happened
In the postscript, Shiibashi-sensei said that by writing the curse removal and this Rikuo and Tsurara scene, he finally feel that he has finished the manga.

And in the back of cover, everyone drinking, but there is jeering about Rikuo and Tsurara as "elder sister wife", "younger golden straw sandal" (from Japanese proverb of 年上の女房は金の草鞋を履いてでも探せ Look for elder wife even if you have to wear golden straw sandals)

In the illustration book, Rikuo Tsurara night festival date illust that was used for fanletter's reply also there.

May the winning Ship celebrate

My god it's beautiful. I need scans now.

[Kanon]

Spoiler:

YES YES YES YES!! The best girl won!

[SoloPanda]

It's a lie from the devil everyone!! I have faith in my harem end, I forsake thee Sataaan! ... hmph even if it's true i'm gonna pretend i didnt see it.

[Miraluka]

Let me join in...

[Used Can]

I honestly didn't expect such a blatant ending and delivered in a nice way.
That said, I wonder how long those omakes are. It'd be nice if they had a some mid length at least. I think I could enjoy this much more that way.

Inherited bonds (the story with Shouei and Rihan): 14 pages
The 3rd going mad (the story with drunk Night Rikuo seducing females): 10 pages
Dark Pawnshop (Ryuuji's story): 20 pages
At half youkai village (Rihan, Yamabuki and Kitsune's resolution): 14 pages
Omake of omake (the RikuTsura confirmation): 12 or 17

A shame it will take quite a few months 'till Viz releases the final volume. Still, two volumes at month ain't that bad of a deal...

[aohige]

Reading the squirms, screams, and cries of pain of Yura and Kana fans on 2ch thread was satisfying. [/evilgrin]

[Kanon]

Wait, there are Kana fans?

[Miraluka]

I can even fraternize with Yura fans since it was interesting and funny the idea of a youkai and a youkai killer together but there was not enough shippeable moments between her and Rikou, though.

[novalysis]

From a rational stand point, it makes sense. The other girls would be long in their graves while both Rikuo and Tsura are in their prime of their very long lives.

pretty there had to be some, its probably people with childhood friend syndrome or something with damsels in distress.

This never gets old, specially when the main character ends up with another girl, it's a delight.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Tsurara a childhood friend? In fact she predates Kana to the best of my knowledge.

It can also be said Tsurara is a shotacon since she is about a hundred years older, she is "robbing the cradle" no matter how I look at it >_<

[Mizuno]

We shouldn't think too much about it. Tsurara is a great girl, I'm sure she'll make a great wife. The problem is, she will live on after Rikuo is dead.

Was it stated that Rikuo is not completely immortal, or just speculation.

I believe he is immortal as his grandfather and his dad would of been too, but die before that was confirm. Rikou IMO would wait for the perfect age to stay immortal, like age 25.

Too bad his human harem will age and die, but not before they give him plenty of grandchildren.

Regarding Tsurara, going with my scenario above, Tsurara can now stalk Rikuo new grandchildren, maybe even on an extend and go for a girl.
