Shuuen no Shiori's Incompletion

On October 10th, 2015, Suzumu confessed to claiming ghostwritten songs as his own and earning dishonest profit from them, and announced that he would be retiring from all Vocaloid-related activities. (Translation here.)

The full extent of Suzumu's plagiarism is unknown. Additionally, because Suzumu had written/arranged songs outside of Shuuen no Shiori, we do not know if it extended to his involvement with the series.

Since the incident, both 150P and komine seem to have gone completely inactive without notice. Consequently, although the manga got its own original ending shortly afterwards, the project itself has never received a proper conclusion (and more than likely never will).

You are welcome to get into the series in spite of this, but be aware that there are countless mysteries unsolved and many loose ends untied.

Recommended Order

This order is subjective. You are not obliged to follow this perfectly, or even at all. This is simply an order created to help new fans based on what I feel would optimize the experience of getting into Shuuenpro.

1. Songs (EP 1 - 4)
2. Manga (Ch. 1 to 11.4) AND/OR Light Novel 1
3. Shuuen -Re:write- | Translations
4. Light Novel 2
   • Highly recommended; the manga skips over most of this novel
5. Manga (Ch. 12 to 27) AND/OR Light Novel 3
   • NOTE: LN3 incomplete in translations
6. Shuuen -Re:mind- | Translations
7. Manga (Chapter 28 to 33) AND Light Novel 4
   Why?
   • Manga skips over a lot of details from LN4
   • Ending divergence; both endings are worth reading

8. Optionally, listen to the VA covers of songs, the voice-acted drama, and/or view the various other albums Shuuen has and their crossfades!
