Sorta happy but also kinda dark? Which is pretty much what I wanted from a series where everyone is awful. The strangest part was how much of the ending is vague and open to interpretation

I think the intent is that Shio's achieved self-actualization from this and is now able to avoid the toxic relationships that defined basically the entire rest of the cast. But my preferred reading is that Shio is now looking for another Sato and is just going to restart everything

So long as Shio is happy, I'm okay with it I guess. Although honestly I just really didn't like the brother, so the fact that she flat out turned him down makes me happy

Now it's time for Shio to kidnap her own pink haired loli. I hope to never see a continuation of this series. It's good how it is. Also I'm very sorry for reading this for free.

Bittersweet ending is all they could have hoped for.

Honestly loved the ending. This manga really delivered on the dark psychological aspects. Bravo

Didn't expect that ending, but didn't expect anything else either.
I just wish Sato's friend was still alive, she didn't deserve that...

How did she survive that fall? Imposible.

That's EXACTLY the point. Killing her was the point of no return. Besides, snitches get stiches XD!

Yeah, she shouldn't have done. Having Sato "switch places" somehow during the fall to "cushion" her fall would've done nothing from that height. Terminal velocity and all that. But it's whatever.

The impression I got was that Shio essentially grew up to be like Sato, since she was already so damaged psychologically, and had adopted a belief that Sato's "love" was the only love that mattered and made it an important cornerstone of her own identity.. That final shot of her entering an apartment, while appearing to be roughly Sato's age, seems to indicate that history is repeating itself. At least that was my take on it.

@jaymiechan

but how did she survive tho?

Sato sacrificed herself. took all that kinetic energy and acted as a cushion for Shio.

Bitch(not hateful) no! That's not how physics work, they dead...

I am honestly and truly shocked that people read this story and were like wow I cant believe the pink haired girl and the loli cant be together forever! They were in a good and healthy relationship!

Like did ya'll forget the part where the pink haired chick MURDERED SOMEONE? Remember that part!? Would y'all really choose a murderer over a neglectful parent to raise a child? Wasn't there, at one point, bodies in the same house as the kid?

This story was a terrible, pretentious schlock with people never really making any rational decisions. Everything in this story had to add to the "spook" factor no matter how badly it threw off the plot. The only person who acted like a real person was the friend, but of course she has to die because every relevant character in this story is somehow a mentally deranged lunatic or a serial killer or an abuser.

This story was at best a 2/10. I'm glad its over.

I think the implication with that reincarnation bit is that Shio has inherited the same brokenness that made Sato what she was: a psychopath for whom empathy and love almost impossible(hence rejecting her brother the second time) and, more tragically, like Sato, does not even register her own mental state as being abnormal. Being such a young age when this transpires, abnormal mental state(i.e. lacking in empathy) will be her normal.
I think that anything resembling a normal relationship will be beyond both her ability and desire, with the mirror implying that Sato is, was, and always will be, the only relationship that shall ever have meaning for her. With Sato now dead, the memories that Shio has are the only thing remaining of Sato, and the only thing Shio will ever deem precious and are completely part of her.

i honestly don't pick that up at all. Just because one is related by blood doesn't make it a healthy or loving connection. Asahi was broken by his experiences with his dad, and basically 'worshiped' an ideal life of him, his sister, and his mother, his sister attaining a similar purity to Taiyou's ideal of her. This is a big reason she says she is dirty to Taiyou; she's rejecting that role. So of course she rejects her brother. That's also why she sees a younger version of him clinging to the real him; he's basically slowly became another variant of their father.

While Sato did bad things, she really didn't do any of them in front of Shio. Even when Sato admitted to doing bad things, she still worked at protecting Shio. And Shio got a form of love and affection that Sato never learned. i see it as Shio taking the best parts of her relationship with Sato, and learning to live for herself, not to be an idol, or represent purity, or as a burden to others.

Swear ta gods, feels like i'm the only one seeing this from a survivor mindset, having been in similar situations (though not to the extremes of this manga).

Only in manga can the murderer protag get the pass of "well atleast she didn't mutilate people right in front of the loli". The writer should be ashamed.

Moral of the story: love can lead to bad decisions.

But nothing can stop it.

So it's over, huh?
Tbh for me this manga ended when friend-chan's life ended - I think she was the only character in whole series that actually cared for our Yandere MC and didn't deserve her fate. Inb4 loli love - no, brainwashed underage is not source of legit feelings, at least for me.
Actually this ending was fitting - after Sato killed first person there was no going back for her, giving her happy end (happy suggar life?) would be a joke.

Now I'm just expecting Shio to find a girl who looks/acts similiar to Satou and have the role reversal.

That's how I expected this to end back when I started reading it. It just felt like one of those stories that repeats itself.

Taiyou got fixed, how? well nvm, he got a happy ending of sorts

I doubt that, he had a Shio poster on his pocket ...He might just be so out of it ,it looks like he is "happy"
