Somewhat sad news for fans but it seems a happier ending
than many I have seen on the streets of San Francisco.
It looks like chapter 123 wraps it up as Nitori leaves home for his own
place as (s)he is working in a bar in women's clothing. It ends with an
empty chair and the title from the first chapter.
I think he may be working as he goes to University as well.
Now this series is ended and it started in the 5th grade as
children grew up into whatever adults they would become. If the author
is interested he could continue with a series about the Adults they have
become but that could become a bit H.
Maybe doujin will explore it.
It has been a good series and engaged my interest over a couple of
years. My purchases of the Fantagraphics version under the title
Wandering Son will continue. Oh and I could be wrong about the series
having come to an end but it says Complete on the pages where I read it
this AM.

It seems that Takako Shimura's manga Aoi Hana is also ending in July, at
chapter 52.
Both endings have been announced in Japan, amid speculation on the reason.
It's noticeable that the passage of time increases in rate towards the
end of Houro Musuko.

And the increase in the rate of the passage of time mirrors the human
experience of the rate of the passage of time. I finally saw the error
in addressing with a terminal "." on the anime.misc group.
At 76 time is really running fast and I unfortunately can barely
keep up with it.

You are more or less correct and I debated with myself over the
tiny bit I revealed. After all if I told you that Godai really loved
Kyoko in Maison Ikkoku how much would that spoil it for you? Or that the
extra relationships would be more or less resolved by the end of the
story? It is no surprise in a Japanese Romantic Comedy that everyone
of goodwill is pretty happy at the end. Not after a few years of
reading and watching anime at any rate. So I don't get too worked up
over the spoilers I read and I read a lot of manga, etc. and a lot of
spoilers by researching the stuff I read.
I read the full description of the end of Wheel of Time on Wikipedia
and still enjoyed the story and the details left out of the
spoiler on the wiki.
I knew that a fashionable Judo girl, named Yawara was going to
win her matches by ippon but it did not stop me from enjoying nearly
every moment of the anime. I am still watching that show over and over
again with other stuff in the queue. I was even pretty sure that Madoka
would end up with Kyosuke but that was the first tale of a sharply
pointed love triangle I remember watching. Since then I have read the
manga and I like the manga better than the anime apart from the music
and the effect of the movies.
Are you going to be spoiled when I say that in yaoi the boys
are totally unlike any gay men I have known. I used to know a lot of
them before the plague hit SF and the rest of the nation in the 1980s.
No one acted like the boys in yaoi. They would have laughed, apart from
the guys into domination and so forth, at the ideas commonly presented.
Now-a-days the gay men have gotten very domestic with the possibility of
finding a good spouse and having a happy marriage.
I better stop replying here and go work on my supper or maybe
watch some anime.

Your mention of Wheel of Time made me think of the 'New' manga that
Rumiko Takahashi started about a young teen Japanese girl and a
supernatural guy about her age who IIRC used some kind of Ferris wheel
device to do is power thing. I never saw more than the first couple of
chapters, and since manga my Ms Takahashi is usually very popular, I am
surprised to find I never heard anymore of it. Does this ring any bells
with you? It was started IIRC shortly after she finally put the finish
to the InuYasha manga. Thanks & Cheers.

Sorry I heard of it but never looked at it.
Kyōkai no Rinne is the name of the work. Found by searching on the
Author's name.
<http://www.furinkan.com/kyokai/manga/index.html>
Apparently 21 volumes published and practically simultaneously in
Japanese and English. This was done via a web site where the current
issue was published in English. And the 21st volume has just been started
<http://www.furinkan.com/kyokai/manga/index.html>
I hope that is of interest and helpful.

That's "Kyôkai no Rinne" [1], a story about a girl who can see ghosts
and a dirt-poor shinigami. The US edition is published by VIZ under the
title "RIN-NE". The "Ferris wheel device" is the Wheel of Samsara where
the souls of the dead are being reincarnated.
Personally, I like it, although I usually don't like Takahashi's works
(with the exception of "Maison Ikkoku").

Curiously enough the WOT is about re-incarnation as well.
The main heroes are re-incarnations of heroes of the past, very
manga/animesque and the Ultimate Evil is confronted at the end and
defeated while many of the minions of the UE are confronted along
the way and their schemes defeated. This scheme reminds me of Sailor
Moon among other shows. And the heroes are wielding swords and
other pre-gunpowder weapons as well as magic and magical tools.
We have also the female heroes of the White Tower and otherwise
as well as minions of UE in female guise.
I said years ago that WOT should be an anime but it
needs to be manga first I guess. The sheer length at the time
was considered objectionable but now lots of people are watching
shows that go on and on with filler episodes that fail the
watchers/readers expectations. I doubt that would happen with
the WOT.
In anime it would end up as sets of OVA for each volume
of the WOT maybe 5 OVAs per text volume. And for the manga I
guess you could bring it in at about 5 pictoral volumes per
text volume. That would bring it at 70 volumes for the manga
and 70 hours of anime.
Financing might be a problem but it the rights could
be procured then perhaps modern crowd-funding might help with
the very wide base of fans.
Seem to be thinking big today. ;^)
