[kaezeribato]

This kind of shit always hit like a fucking truck...

if anyone wants to feel more depressed, Ichiban no Takaramono makes for a perfect bgm...

More like "in case you dont want to die listen to it, you 100% will want to get isekai"

 

[Akitsube]

remember arima’s final performance in kimiuso? yeah shizuku’s novel is the equivalent

and they’re both kaori

(⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠෴⁠ ⁠༎ຶ⁠)

 

[Ecchan]

My heart just broke. No Shizuuuu, Kaoriiiii.
What a horrible way of finding out.
This isn't fair. We knew since the beginning but it still hurts.
One more chapter left.

 

[JustAU-]

No this can't be how the year starts

Kaori, Everyone still needs you don't go yet
Next chapters gonna be the last isn't it? I don't want that I want to see Kaori and Shizuku together more I want to see the family and friends all having fun together with her

I read it in Spanish (I think) in 2023... I made the mistake to read it in English today... I started 2024 the same way I ended 2023

 

[oubyn]

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

The story says that Kaori dies right at the very start, or at least said it without directly stating it. So I don't get the whole "expected" or "author actually did it" comments. Kaori was never going to stay alive. With that being said, it's a testament to how good this work is where we know this character is going to die for 30 chapters, and thr author still manages to make it an emotional Rollercoaster. This work is a true masterclass in storytelling and character work, so my hats is off to the author.

 

[Ryuseishun]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccc 😭😭😭😭😭

 

[kkakasih]

Why this gotta drop when i need to go to work man.

 

[Murderous_Crimson]

NOOOO... goddamned. I knew it would happen, but why does it still hurt so bad..😭😭😭😭

 

[RulernoAlter]

fck man.. bittersweet story, is indeed something.

LEtting Kaori survive the previous chapter, make her wake up in this one, to make her die the same chapter (and less then a day in "in story" time) was particularly cruel.
Second time reading the chapter (read first in spanish), still hurt hard.

 

[VariousThrenodies]

It's so fucking over. But thank god that she at least got to tell her.

 

[Sarjunta]

we all knew it was coming, still doesn't hurt any less

 

[LilyDroid]

I still had hope

 

[bluestar77]

It was inevitable, but that doesn't make my kokoro any less brokoro.

That she dies was never in question, it's about the amount of closure that the characters get. Usually when characters in such a situation make a promise one of them dies right before they can make it come true. So the fact that the author kept to the motto "you don't need a happy end as long as there are no regrets" that they stated prior in the story by having her live long enough to read the story is a pleasant surprise
