Natsu to Lemon to Overlay - Vol. 1 Ch. 8 - Don't Go

It feels like it goes all out at the last second to make the ending seem as open as possible. The MC is very clearly not suicidal, and she seemed pretty intent on stopping the other girl as well. My interpretation is that Sayaka might still be contemplating it, but Saki won't allow her to go through with it, and that they do intend to disappear and start over. Sayaka's "I don't know if this is the end for me or not" in the bonus chapter seems pretty clear to me. In the final few scenes we see that both Saki and Sayaka are carrying bags. I don't see why they would be doing that if they truly plan to kill themselves once they get off the train. Saki didn't have a backpack when she went to Sayaka's apartment (and it roughtly matches the one Saki has been seen with before), so clearly there was a trip made back to Saki's apartment before getting on the train, which wouldn't make sense unless she was picking up things that she would need to start over.

I think open endings are for cowards.

i finally finished this after picking it up years ago..... that's IT?????? WHERE'S THE REST?????

i feel robbed, where's the yuri... it felt so one sided 🥲 maybe it's because the entire manga was from the POV of saki, but konno didn't seem to care at all about her, or at least not romantically...

the bonus chapter seems to make her care a little more, some things were definitely lost in the manga, but her feelings towards saki still feel a little lacking
