This ending was really bizarre. It's pretty unclear why their solution worked at all.

I actually didn't like the ending. Rinko literally let her go to that guy so that Akari could get pregnant and bring the kids back eventhough Akari was clear she didn't want to be with anyone but Rinko. And then the two girls just waited until the guy had the accident again so the two of them could be together again? Like lol? But I don't get it, in the end she was chatting with Yukina, are they just friends or are they in a relationship again? Or is Rinko in a relationship with both Akari and Yukina? Or just Akari? Like Bruh

...I find it really weird how A-chan loves the man ...

She never said she loved him. She was clear when she said that Rinko is the only one she likes. The "wtf" was the fact that she accepted Rinko's request to bring the other two kids back again

The extras make this shitshow of a series even worse

I don't think they are related to the current timeline cause it doesn't make sense at all. Well the story itself was ew... I guess the author didn't plan the story since the beginning and was drawing whatever came to her mind at the moment she was working on the storyboard. Don't forget about her editor lol
The manga could have been better but had to be polished

I just had to comment...this is on the level of Lemonade which is arguably the worst manga on Dynasty. Like it was good up to chapter 8 but Holy fuck it capitulated into shit real quick. The ending could have saved it but nope.

"Rin chan let's be together forever"
"No A-chan I love you but I also love your kids so you need to hook up with a random guy to have children so that I can fuck them later on."
Author - "what can I do to make this story an absolute masterpiece? Have A chan's youngest daughter hook up with Rin chan's co-worker. Yay everyone gets a happy ending. I'm a goddam genius..."

Man I was not prepared for this rollercoaster. All in all its nice I guess.

I think this manga might legitimately be written as like pro-natalist propaganda. Despite the ridiculous confusion and seeming complexity of what's going on, the core plot is very simple when you strip out everything that doesn't contribute to the ending: The MC, via a bunch of time travel nonsense, learns of the potential future children of her lover if the mc didn't date her and grew so attached to those possible children that she sacrifices her happiness (at least happiness in her youth) and pressures her poor lover into comphet in order to make sure that some more Japanese babies get born.
Seriously, the amount of deus ex machina reasons that get thrown out inexplicably to force the MC into this corner where it's her only option only to pretend like it's her choice in the end really reminds me of conservative propaganda stories like Chick Tracts. Why was she cursed to always die? Why did the comphet option prevent her death this time? Why do they have time travel powers to begin with? How do they suddenly know how to manipulate them? Why did the MC lose her memories after some deaths but not others? Why did the MC who was living happily as an adult lesbian go from "those kids weren't born" to "I should kill myself"? Why were those unborn kids more real to her than her own lover, who she just smiles at and then ruins her life.
None of these things make sense or even serve the story, they just close off real happy endings to trick you into accepting the one predestined ending that fits the author's message.

Those are pretty much my thoughts put into tangible words about this work, very well put. Will say in a nutshell it's complexity for the sake of complexity, and I understand people are capable of bizarre thought patterns and conclusions that only make sense to them. Though, this is the only time I didn't enjoy a yuri work because, what's with the mc's logic? What sort of mind equation did she solve in those 10 chapters?
If only there had been some sort of needed rest for the readers to make it so it makes sense, or atleast more substance to how mc makes up her mind about everything.

This just seems rushed...Might probably just blame the editor for this one, it's just sad since the art really looks nice. Will check out more of this author's works if there is anymore available!
