I don't know if you'd call the finale 'awesome' since it's REALLY REALLY bloody/gory and violent, but it does complete the main story arc. (It also leaves a lot of threads hanging regarding what happens to all the secondary characters, so it leaves you wanting more)
If you don't mind gore, the plot is incredibly well written, and who can resist a story with a pet pig with an attitude? And it has a hysterical version of Sakamoto Ryoma (with dreadlocks, a sixshooter, and a cowboy hat) - a real historical character who, come to think of it, probably would've loved wearing a cowboy hat since he adored all things American.
Personally, I enjoyed the story and I hope you manage to find the other volumes of it!
