My Favorite Child Ending Summary, Spoilers (ft. Why Fans Didn't React Well)

The manga My Favorite Child ended with Chapter 166, and contrary to fans' expectations, Aqua's tragic choice caused controversy. Let's summarize the ending, which was disappointing due to the lack of story development and plot twists.

My Favorite Child Ending Summary

The manga My Favorite Child ended with 166 episodes, but unfortunately, the fans' response fell short of expectations.

In particular, the tragic choice of the protagonist Aqua left suffering to the main characters, which was a great disappointment to fans.

Let's find out why Aqua's journey and revenge ending in the work became controversial among fans.

【My Favorite Child】 - Namuwiki

1. Aqua's tragic choice and fans' disappointment
Aqua chooses the Dongwijin, sacrificing herself to protect her sister from Hikaru Kamiki, who threatens her and Ruby. This ending causes Ruby to lose someone precious once again, and the other main characters are also deeply hurt.

Hoshino Aquamarine - Namuwiki

Fans have questioned whether Aqua's sacrifice was truly the best path for Ruby and those around her, and have expressed discontent with the meaning and impact of this choice.

2. Lack of persuasiveness in revenge drama - problem of necessity
Fans have many questions about whether Aqua's final choice was the best one.

There was continued criticism as to whether it was really necessary to make such an extreme choice, given that there were ways to legally punish Kamiki with the help of people around him, such as Akane, without having to choose Donggwi Eojin.

Hoshino Ruby/Work history - Namuwiki

The ending was a path that Aqua chose for herself and Ruby, but to fans, it felt like unnecessary self-destruction.

3. Unrecovered bait and drastic changes in development
The various plot twists that appeared throughout the work were left unresolved at the end, leaving a sense of regret about the completeness of the ending. For example, important settings such as the meaning of the DVD left behind by Hoshino Ai or the message left for Ruby were not sufficiently explained.

This broke the tension and anticipation of the story, leaving the ending somewhat disappointing.

4. Fan reaction: Disappointment and concerns about the animation
Many fans are unable to hide their disappointment due to the ending, and especially their expectations for the animation and drama production have also been greatly reduced.

As the work ends in vain, concerns have been raised that it may affect future media mixes. Some fans are expressing regret at the author's way of developing the story, saying that a different ending would have been better.

    원래도 복수 서사라 무거운 작품이긴 했는데 결말이 너무 급하게 정리된 느낌이라 아쉬움이 큰 것 같네요
    특히 떡밥 회수랑 캐릭터 서사 마무리가 부족해서 더 반응이 갈리는 분위기네요

    만화 최애의 아이가 166화로 완결됐지만 아쿠아의 비극적 선택과 미회수 떡밥 때문에 팬들 사이에서 큰 실망을 안겼네요
    스토리 전개와 결말의 필연성 부족으로 논란이 일고 애니화나 미디어믹스 기대에도 영향이 우려된다고 합니다
