I liked the ending. I think really that was the best possible way to end it.
Rather than going for either the "unlikely utopia" ending where Jormungand works as advertised and brings a new era of world peace, or going for the "downer" ending and killing off most of the main characters, what the author has done is given you two opposing viewpoints and said "discuss."
There's the Kasper view, that there will always be war even if it has to be fought with cudgels, or Koko's view that perhaps mankind can be shamed into giving up war.
The open ending did surprise me, yes, but I think it worked superbly.
(and cyncially speaking does leave it open for a sequel at a later date!)
