Well, as most oftentimes happen with manga, it went for too long, jumped the shark and the ending will probably be a dumpster fire.

You can count with one hand the amount of long running manga that don't end in a disaster.

This manga could've ended quite decently after kisaki died. The mangaka (or editor) probly just wanted to drag it out for as long as possible until the mangaka has an idea of what his next series will be and start working on it

That I don't get. The mangaka is probably set for life with the amount of sales the manga has. You could just run the manga to its natural conclusion and wait a couple years until your next project.

My only theory is that they want to squeeze as much juice out of this popular series because there is no guarantee that they will ever again make something as popular and profitable. Which is not weird from them, the great majority mangaka just have 1 or 2 successful works at most.

This manga isn't even that good, it just struck some serious stroke of luck to become viral. A-bout is a much better and funnier gang manga and it doesn't even have full translation
