As I said, you have to refer to the fact he is mainly talking about the message, it's not EXPLICITLY left that the SERIES itself ends.

Also, rushed? Why's that? It happened at its own pace despite some off-screen things and disappointments (which become null once you're sadly accostumed to it, with many fans clearly not being). PLUS, I don't think a mangaka simply announces his manga is ending, Hiro himself admitted he does most things as he goes on.
