Oh what the.
So this was really just a self reflection depression story of the author's regrets manifested into a story huh.

 

[TheMode]

remember to read the IF

 

[Mangamoz]

Someone smarter than me, please explain wtf was this story about?

Was it all some psychological methapor for this dude's mental issues or something?

 

[yhmirr]

huh

 

[SheepPegasus]

I don't know how to feel about this tbh.

 

[box2024]

What happened?

 

[Lanay]

This is what happened if a time traveler moves a chair.

 

[GrumpyGizmo]

Wow what a bunch of... whatever it was... since when Manga went from a form of entertainment to a form of mental torture?

 

[rkkn]

ok, the only thing that makes no sense to me is why Umeko was super mean to her past self.
I can kinda see why she was mean to Makoto, since he ditched her in the end (though I think it needs at least a little elaboration).

 

[Mangamoz]

So I read the TL's credit page.

Well, tried I should say, seriously TL, you need to separare such huge walls of texts with paragrahps and spacing.

It kills the eyes of the reader without it.

Well, anyway.

Umeko(short haired glasses girl) was the FMC herself grown up cause of a time loop I guess?

And the MC basically needs to stop trying to get laid and just get a damn therapist, that or get him on a padded locked room with a straight jacket.

I'm guessing FMC timeslipped a few years into the past, figured out a new identity for herself, and just got super salty about all this hating everyone including herself.

 

[xannha]

huh

 

[Nekiko]

uh. hey its over i guess?

miiko didnt deserve this.

I mean, the author adds time travel elements and then decides to end the story on a bad ending? All of these decades of lifespan wasted?

I thought the time travel would be a loop instead. They would live together for a while after this last time slip, and then makoto would remember everything and choose Miko. Sakura is bitter and jealous since she can't have him, and that's how she becomes Umeko. Ultimately she loves him too much and wants him happy, so she decides to take him back to the resort and let Miko and Makoto live happily. She takes out her frustration on current day Sakura (and later on college age Makoto) after deciding to step away from their lives forever

....at least that was my headcanon until now

 

[bounceboi701]

Can someone explain the whole thing? With the nitty gritty details and the author's intentions. I'm a bit too stupid to understand and I want someone to explain everything, including the ending.

seems the author set out intending to write a bad end story from the beginning

 

[KoriCongo]

"Could you ever hope to love a grandma like me?"
looks exactly the same.

I think that sums up the story right there. Worthless melodrama, I rather read Garden again.

At least Garden was up front about what it was, as demented and twisted as it was.
