WHAT ???? THE FUCK IS THIS LACKLUSTER ENDING HELLO ??? THERE IS NO CULMINATION, NO CLIMAX, AND WHAT ABOUT HER FATHERS HAUNTING HER CONSCIOUSNESS, WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT ???

 

[Syapaaye]

This is very, purely Japanese literature, right from the start until the end, through and through. I adore it.

 

[daijiobu]

This story is wonderful and the ending tying all knots beautifully together. It's not the destination but the journey that counts, and this story thoroughly illustrates that philosophy. She grew up and obtained the strength to confess her guilt to everyone, and then decided to face the judgment in order to clear her conscience so that eventually the father would never be able to haunt her anymore. She finally became valued to herself.

i just randomly clicked on this and i am very happy i did

Very Japanese and very stupid ending. But I knew it would end this way.

There's a real story. A grandfather was raping his son's daughter starting from age 6. She told the father about it at age 9. Son shot his father for it now he's in prison for the rest of his life.
Is this right?
Following a blind justice system is the same as following a blind man on the highway. Laws and "Justice" were created to control the masses in the first place.
A man tortured his family. His kids lost their childhood. His family is scarred for the rest of the lives. These things don't disappear. That's crueler than the murder of a man who's leaving nothing but destruction behind him.
Just like in this story, the "justice" just added more misery to the family. It didn't serve victims.

Fucking hate these kinds of endings when the writer acts all deep and clever by giving us vague endings and say iTs Up To tHe ReAdEr'S iMaGiNaTiOn. Its just shitty and lazy writing, it leaves a bad after taste and unsatisfactory feeling inside. Only a few stories should have this kinds of endings

 

[MalaFarron]

Also the author seems to forget about her father's consciousness haunting but hey, its up to the reader's imagination amirite. Very deep and cool, for edgy teens that is

 

[white_lilies]

Thats it? The chapter didnt really contribute anything.
We already knew about her determination to face proper punishment, as well as how senpai feels about it. It would have been interesting to see her after she gets out of jail, how it effected her guilt, how she decides to live from then on. But this is just lacking imo.

Author prob didn't know how to end it either

 

[CopperLover]

What's the police gonna do tho? Arrest her without any evidence, and cctv recordings backing up her innocence?

This bastard just made her town's police life harder than it's supposed to be lmao. Feels bad for the private who has to deal with her case. Good story tho

 

[KamikoAki]

I would’ve like them to go into her turning herself in, and their reactions. Then if she got arrested, a time skip then like the aftermath. But honestly the ending as is didnt ruin it, just kinda ended early

 

[G-P]

Weak ending. Invisibility underutilized.

 

[redscizor]

Well ... was good, but this is juvenile crimen, and she loss her invisibility power and how she can explain this? In the best a judge give 3 years under observation

About the invisible bones max stealth that she found in the chap12, I believe that they are from her grandmother, since let's say that her power is genetic, we know that her grandmother died, her grandfather is worse than her father and that somehow her father looked at her when he was dying, implying that he knew what was happening

 

[planethzl]

What she had done to her father was unforgivable and what her father had done to their family was also unforgivable. Both are wrong, but everything happened for a reason. If she hadn’t killed her father, she wouldn’t have met them. If her father was still alive, she would keep living in the worst environment.

 

[Mf_strikesagain]

That's it?! Even a tragic 1970s-style ending with someone important dying would have been more impactful. The way I see it, with all the people she came clean with, there's no way she can't go confess to the cops. I don't think she turned 18 yet, so does Japan have an equivalent of juvie?

Concordo total, até eu que escrevo só pra mim e pra mais ninguém, escrevo finais o mais decentes que consigo mesmo sabendo que ninguém nunca vai ler

 

[Fabricio_Martins]

Não me entenda mal, eu realmente gosto das obras de ogino, mas.... Esse final foi uma merda e terrivelmente preguiçoso

I think one thing people aren't grasping about stories like this is the concept of extending the story for yourself withim your own mind. Why should the author have to spell everything out?

Why must you accept the author's word without also making an effort to reach your own conclusion about the events of the story? There are so many contemplative works which take a similar approach. I can't claim to have read enough of them that i can even give you an example.

But I feel sad that so many people seem incapable of reading between the lines, as it were. Just think about the story more! Its no use waiting for the author to spoonfeed you more of the characters and their stories.
