Did that even get a full english translation? Thought Dark Horse bailed on it and Cannon God Exxaion at roughly the same time

My take: It's better to talk, even if it hurts, instead of suffering silently, making up things in your mind and let things escalate? Some things are also not fixable, but you don't have to define yourself by them. Seeing the Takopi doodle made Marina pause and lead to them talk about something they have in common. Shizuka now doesn't try to commit suicide and doesn't move away. Azuma fights with his brother, which dethrones him as some unreachable goal to get his mother's affection and leads to him socializing with his classmates instead of idolizing Shizuka.

Ch14-15The implication that Shizuka killed and mutilated her half-sisters before leaving Tokyo and was ready to do the same to the animal shelter staff in her hometown to see if they had eaten her dog

some real “my mother is also named martha” energy in that ending the whole thing felt like farce aside from azuka’s situation

They've learnt not to blame/bully/pressure each other and themselves for the sins of their parents. The abuse is still there but they developed a way to cope with it. The message is "its not your fault".

So I'm confused about the takeaway. The characters talked it out and it looks like a net win for everyone, but secretly a nice person had to die? It's like the solution for the characters' problems wasn't zero-sum but there's a magical force that required death to make it happen, implying nothing good can happen without someone suffering? Just weird. Art style was nice at least.

The ending obv feels insanely forced or whatever but I enjoy the notion that just gaining a friend can solve so many issues that could have ended things horribly

Ending: given the end of the last chapter, I interpreted it as Takopi going back in time and being a buddy to Marina like he was to Shizuka, but because he hosed with time too much he erased himself from their memories but not their hearts or whatever. I can kinda see why there wasn’t a montage of the Marina side of things but the ending feels a little abrupt without it.

I'm glad I read it. I can't say it was a waste of time, or that it wasn't provocative or that it wasn't worth thinking about. eagerly anticipating the prequel where takopi makes the inventor of the tassel, responsible for so many broken marriages, happy

Takopi’s original sin was coming back to happy planet. He exists as a sacrifice to create a connection between people to save them from misery and that’s what he was supposed to do the first time. He also helped the kid stop living in his brother’s shadow but he had set that up before having to sacrifice himself.

That sure was an ending. It's a little jumbled I think, but I did like it. It's funny how Takopi at the beginning kept telling everyone to talk it out and in the end his erasure from time meant people actually talk it out and bond over their collective misery. I don't think this series is going to leave a lasting impression on me though. I'm not sure where or how, I but I feel like more could've been done with it.

To be honest things just got a bit over the top in a silly way quite early on so rather than taking a reasonable look at some serious topics things keep escalating until the main girl is kidnapping people and either mutilating them or (more likely based on the newspaper headlines) forcing them to vomit. The ending reads like the mangaka wrote themselves into a corner and needed an easy way to resolve things - except the child abuse never stops so it’s just like “if u have a friend u can move past it and heal” This manga was not worth losing endorph to lol
