Kek'd @ 2 Thanks EveScans for the chapters!

What a rollercoaster of bullshit this was

 

[Ranzo]

I feel conflicted. On the one hand, this manga did just a huge ass pull in the last couple of chapters just to get to a happy ending that didn't feel deserved. On the other, after four years of waiting I can finally put an end to this and won't have to think about it anymore.

Damn it guys I liked it ok? Fight me.
Seriously though this manga really got me, even though they pulled the everyone's alive card I really enjoyed it. Honestly Clannad After Story's ending was way more bullshit for me than this.

what a shitty ending

 

[ZenMasters]

Thank you for the chapter.

Ending is meh.

Mei is best girl though. Her and the one guy getting together is kind of out of nowhere.

 

[Damoon]

Thanks EveScans for translating this, so i dont have to think about it anymore. The plot is silly.

Definitely a manga better in concept than in execution. Unlike some others, I think the idea of starting as a "supernatural murder mystery" but ending as a human drama about people hurting each other out of self-righteousness, guilt, grief, and fear is very interesting. But the execution left a lot to be desired. The characters acted really inconsistently, such that seemingly huge moments (Taku punching and strangling Mei) ended up being basically waved off and ignored (they end up dating???). At times it felt more invested in making "shocking twists" than in telling a plausible story. And the most interesting character, Chiaki, got the least amount of attention in the end.

Oh well, at least it's something original, I respect anything that tries something different. Thanks for the translation!

The 2 being in a coma plot twist is clearly a asspull, what really annoyes me is that the attempt murderer will most likely be left on her own, with even MC not seeking justice for her circumstances, even if he will feel the aftereffects of being half-isekaied for the rest of his life.
Being young means he will heal from a lot of it, but some problems will probably stay, his eye probably is gone forever and the mood swings could be not simply stress but brain damage.

As others have said, this was crap.

There's a comment above that says they liked the ending and that this was better than another work. It's fine if you like the ending. But saying this is better than another story doesn't mean anything. Both can be bad, even if this is just less worse.

Let's go over the ass pulls.

There's the obvious Mit-tan still being alive and her parents lying about it.

There's the obvious Sahara still being alive and his parents just conveniently doing the same thing and also lying about it, even though it was never hinted at before.

There's the teachers going along with the lies too.

But let's go even further and explain more. Mit-tan has finally woken up from her coma after like...a decade? Just conveniently waking up now, of all times. A month after Sahara woke up.

Also, it was a hit and run, and the driver was never caught? I honestly don't remember if it did ever say hit and run specifically before, but I don't think it did. I thought it had said accident. So the author just tries to shove the responsiblity on this nameless, faceless figure.

Then there's Chiaki. In the span of one single chapter with a flashback exposition dump, we get her whole backstory. Her grandmother told her to always smile. Herp derp, that's why she also smiles at Sahara's "death".

Anyways, there were a lot of problems. The author tried to make Sahara the main viewpoint, and he's also an unreliable narrator/viewpoint. He has flaws in his memory and couldn't accept his own actions. That's understandable. But the author went too far into bullcrap and just made him...pointless. He even says it in this chapter. If not for him, none of this would've happened.

This series was pointless.

...wut?

Not only did you not read, you didn't even look at pictures. You didn't even have to read anything to see you're wrong. The pictures show you're wrong.

The author made it that Chiaki did not push him. Look at chapter 14. When Sahara saw Mit-tan's "ghost", he went into the street on his own.

What attempted murderer? The one that doesn't exist because you didn't see the pictures?

We don't know what happened to the cat! Is it in a COMA?!
