That was quite a journey! Overall I really liked it but I'd be lying if the stuff with Moriya right at the end didn't put a sour taste in my mouth. Takae passed on (which is good) but it was over something fake? Blegh. I was REALLY hoping that part would've happened when Mai held a private (and early) wedding rehearsal or something.
At least Mai ended up good and her dad found a new hobby.

[POTENTIAL SPOILERS]
A profoundly impactful manga, one that moved me to tears on several occasions funnily enough, and yet left me grappling with conflicting emotions, especially regarding its conclusion. I will yap a little bit, ignore this message since it's not that deep anyway.
I personally disliked, no, hated the ending. Picture this, the author(s) dangle a thread of hope before us, only to mercilessly unravel it just a few chapters later, repeating this cycle of dashed hopes until the very end. It's akin to being teased with a flicker of light in the darkness, only to have it snuffed out again and again. As one of the characters said in the manga, readers want hope. We seek refuge from the harsh realities of our world by reading books or doing things that we like doing, we do not want a constant reminder of its cruelty even in our free time.
However, the messages that this manga sends you -- disregarding the controversial topic it might have brought with its age gap -- time, is the real deal. We just don't have enough. Or, to look at it in a different way, we have exactly as much as we need but it's not guaranteed that we'll use it correctly. It's never too late because we don't know what too late is but it will be too late if you put everything off until tomorrow.
My judgment of the ending is undoubtedly biased, colored by personal experience. I harbored a genuine desire for our protagonist, Nijima, to find the happiness that eluded me and countless others. I wanted him to obtain happiness that I, or many other people in real life could not obtain. At the very least wanted a fictional character to be happy, can you believe that? But well, you realize that the characters are pretty engaging if you somewhat resonate with them, or understand them. Sure, while some may argue that Nijima has already achieved happiness, in my eyes I perceive him as a tragic figure trying to look strong in front of others while suffering in silence.
I liked the manga overall. I just despise the ending, that's all.

Thank you so much! Thank you for the lovely notes at the end too @DaichiNishihara
This has been a very rounded, well-written work. If you didn't mention the author being a man, I wouldn't have thought so. Such sensibility is rare!
Thank you for finishing and concluding this beautifully.

Thank you, truly. I found this manga several years ago, on a different site and many conflicting translations. Since then I had to wait for months for a new release, or find that it had been dropped again. But now it is over, a beautiful bittersweet ending that is life. Thank you for your diligence and drive to complete a piece that was near and dear to me. Thank you, and have a good rest.Well... That was all! Tysm for everything and I hope you liked my TLI hope my redrawing skills weren't so bad either, here I'll leave a pic. about the most troublesome rd I had to do in all of this series.
I said all I had to say in the last page. Hope I didn't miss anything and... yep, see ya!

In the end, the author stayed true to his word and didn’t take the easy way out. Go back to the chapter where Renji’s grandmother talked honestly about how she continued on after the passing of her husband. That was not just a foreshadow of what was to come, but it was one of the most important messages of the story.
I can look back at this story and count it as one of the best that I’ve read. It touched me on a personal level and I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. Thank you also to the translators who made it possible for us to read this. Your hard work was greatly appreciated.

Well that’s…uncomfortable.
now I’m just imagining the granddaughter having a strange semblance of attraction to her grandpa

I'm really glad that Keisuke has stayed true to himself and the love of his life, while Moriya proposed the trick to atone for her harsh words said to Takae and, hopefully, found her very own love of her life.
And, of course, a big thanks for the translation of this manga, mr. DaichiNishihara and all the previous translators.

I'm so glad it ended well 😭 and everyone moved forward and are happy
I cried when I saw marika and chika happy and well
a somewhat funny yet degenerate joke came to me when I saw mai and renji's kid lol regardless but I am so, so happy for all of them.
this manga is truly a 10/10. it stayed true to itself.

Did you misread the manga or something? She was literally stealing a girls childhood, and after she completed all the things she left unfinished before her death she has no desire to be in the realm of the living anymore. Shes not reincarnated either, shes possesing the body of the little girl for a temporary period of time as the little girls soul didn’t want to be alive anymore, but close to the end the wife wants the girl to live as her life is fixed now (no more abusive mother).I stopped reading months ago to wait until this finish to binge... but so... he didn't end up with his reincarnated wife? Although it would feel weird, I wanted them together again... when she turns 18 or something. It's honestly not weird if she was an adult and they got together in my opinion... age gaps do happen in real life afterall. I hate tragedies... so can someone explain if I should continue to finish reading?

I just finished reading this series and I kid you not, I was holding back all the tears while reading these last chapters but in the end I just couldn't. It resonated in me that time is really precious, and we shouldn't take it for granted. The moment when Keisuke fall down to his knees after Takae left Marika's body made my tears flow like it's water because holy crap it's so tragic and that's what reality is. We can only accept it and move forward. I honestly didn't expect the series to come at this point but the fact that it did made me appreciate it more. The author beautifully wrote this series. That's all for me. I'm not crying you are/10

Finished the series in a single night, its currently 2:01am and it was a hard read. I knew halfway in that she had to let go of the body. What a bittersweet ending, near the end i started to tear up, at least everyone came to peace and become happy.

Chika and Keisuke changed the most visually. I love any manga that can genuinely make me cry and make me feel like I have a stone stuck in my damn throat. I enjoyed this from beginning to end and I dont feel like Im lying at all saying that which makes my even happier now that Ive read this entire piece of heart ache. Thank you for your work. Also I am very glad to see that there was no Takae 5 years later, she is finally truly resting.

After reading multiple spoilers and deciding to just see what the last chapter is about (after reading 64 chapters), i gotta say, i'm glad i did that. I know that i would have regretted reading the full story, as even by chapter 64 i was already feeling "meh" about the story.
Shouldn't have made it so she hijacked the body, especially not when everything was leading to either "oh yea she just reincarnated" or "oh yea she just reincarnated but she will lose her memory" not "oh yea, she hijacked the body". From what i read it would be a weak 7/10 (the IGN 7 of course), but considering this ending i feel like it's a weak 6/10. Perhaps just not the story for me.
