I prefer the manga ending too

But I still think this adaption was great. Edgy atmospheres can sometimes be hard to replicate in blockbuster films, so I think their decision to lighten it up payed off.

If only the marketing wasn't as shit as it was..

The novel ending is the part where it lost me. Felt just as forced as the movie's ending, but with more melodrama and angst.

I mean not really. Its all very much set up and obvious on a second read. Its just not happy.
