Has anyone else bothered seeing the "time stop" as a metaphor instead of a real power?
Despite the long hair girl's inventiveness (if you can even call it that) in using the time-stop for her own benefit, the time-stop girl has never really allowed anything important to happen while time is stopped. Not to mention that she's been doing this for years and the people around her never realizes. It should be obvious that "stopping time" is not just a straight-forward superpower for the time-stop girl. She never does any of the things a typical person with the power might, and she is not held responsible for the typical consequences for time-stopping. Not to mention it makes even less sense that the long hair girl is the only one allowed to move if her ability was a conventional superpower.
While she might have mentioned in the beginning that she could "rob a bank," it becomes obvious that the reason this ability exists is to allow her to literally and metaphorically "spend time with the one she loves." So far, the story seems to be exactly that. The time-stop is just an instrument of love. Love and time are the central theme of the manga.
So there's no reason (according to no one but me) that we should expect a bad end. Only because I cannot imagine a BAD END that stays true to the theme of "spending time with the one you love," which the story has been about this whole time. I could be wrong, considering I'm not very imaginative.
No matter how manipulative the long hair girl seems, could any of her actions qualify as significant enough for it to represent the story? I think not. There's no need to fear that her personality will snatch away a happy ending. Again, I suppose I could be wrong.
