I can think of two possibilities. One is that he's hanging out with this group of children specifically because one of them is the girl who saved him. The other is that since he obviously has to be capable of dying in the first place to commit suicide, he simply dies of natural causes in order to reincarnate now.I don't get it, if soru's suicide curse was broken at the beginning of time why would he be there in modern time? He's either be thousands of years old hanging out with children (not uncommon in anime but it makes their relationship weird since he's no longer the same age via reincarnation) or what's the alternative?
It doesn't seem like he recalls his previous lives, so he's just a normal guy as far as that goes.Both of these explanations do have potentially uncomfortable baggage if you try to justify them with real world morals, but in a world of literal angels and demons where reincarnation is definitely a real thing you can maybe suspend your disbelief.
We don't know for sure that Soru isn't now an undying angel/demon hybrid now that he doesn't kill himself over and over. But either explanation (we're reincarnating soulmates, or we're soulmates and I've been waiting for you) could potentially be used to try and justify exploitative and abusive things IRL.It doesn't seem like he recalls his previous lives, so he's just a normal guy as far as that goes.
I suppose the first point and yeah I'm more or less fine with him reincarnating. If it's reincarnation it solves the issue of just being ancient and being in middle school but I'm surprised it lines up then since theoretically he'd be much older when he died, it's really not the biggest deal. I'm fine waiting for part 2 to see what happensI can think of two possibilities. One is that he's hanging out with this group of children specifically because one of them is the girl who saved him.

They explain that Soru isn't a kid that has lived a lot of time, but that he reincarnated and every time he did, he died of suicide.I don't get it, if soru's suicide curse was broken at the beginning of time why would he be there in modern time? He's either be thousands of years old hanging out with children (not uncommon in anime but it makes their relationship weird since he's no longer the same age via reincarnation) or what's the alternative? I'm also obviously upset we didn't get like, any wlw couples at all at the end of a series marked GL. Like yeah these bitches are gay but why do they have to be gay and single?
I'm just venting, whatever. It wasn't a terrible ending, part 2 is coming, I guess I'm still on board. Soru shouldn't be in this though
