riiighht? it kinda makes everything pointlessWould've been better if she just died then and there. Makes for a better theme. I appreciate the happy ending, but the way the MC handled the boyfriend really irked me. 4/10
I think this should be turned into a movie
If she could have possessed a corpse, that Demi-goddess would have done it already. You need a suitable LIVING body to escape the curse.That last page is a nice mirror to page 4.
That being said, how does this ending make sense? While Tsurara did state she had the power to unlink universes once, she also stated she did not have the power to undo past events, and it's fairly heavily implied that she was not able to find another universe exactly like the one Shiho was in. The implication before this chapter is that Shiho's body would reject her soul, at which point Tsurara would enter, and die, after which Shiho would become a lingering diety like her. We do in fact see Shiho's soul leaving her body, and we see Tsurara in Shiho's body. Now, suddenly, we're back in the original universe, with Shiho's soul in her original body, Nogata is alive and in his original form, and no one is aware of the events that transpired other than Shiho. It's implied that this is something Tsurara did. In which case, it violates 2 things that Tsurara claimed to be true. So is the whole point of the story that Tsurara could've done this the entire goddamn time, and specifically chose an extra convoluted way to die, when she could've just gone and possessed a corpse or something?![]()
Yes, after which either Tsurara should've killed herself, with Shiho finding herself unable to possess her own corpse, or not, with Shiho finding herself unable to possess a living body with another soul already in it. Or, if Tsurara possessed her body, then re-ejected herself and re-inserted Shiho into her own body, proceeding to not die, then what the fuck was the point of any of this? See what I'm getting at?If she could have possessed a corpse, that Demi-goddess would have done it already. You need a suitable LIVING body to escape the curse.
I don’t think you have a grasp on anything. This story is about a deal with a devil. Tsurara let Shiho live because she did something the demon didn’t do in her life that moved her: show gratitude for seeing her love one last time. Tsurara ALWAYS had the power to make this ending happen, but she wanted to trick someone like her past self. Without that catharsis, dying wouldn’t be satisfying.Yes, after which either Tsurara should've killed herself, with Shiho finding herself unable to possess her own corpse, or not, with Shiho finding herself unable to possess a living body with another soul already in it.
