(Reader breathes sigh of relief.)

That oversized watchband is such a great, evocative touch. . .

For me it struck me how gaunt and thin she really looks this chapter, especially the shots of her hands.
Further accentuated by putting on that watch.

Hopefully she's ready to start taking care of herself now...

I’m dreading this car approaching in the last page… I do hope I’m wrong…

Just to make sure, the cause of Sakura's death hasn't been revealed, has it?

Time is starting again.

And I'm pretty sure Sakura's father wouldn't just run her over.

Just to make sure, the cause of Sakura's death hasn't been revealed, has it?

Not the exact details, but they mentioned an accident a couple chapters back, so I imagine that she was hit by a car, or something to that effect.

Goofy

Huh, I'm not sure I'm okay with how this chapter ended..

Seriously… Truck-kun just can’t get enough…. Ugh…

HAVE YOU, THOUGH?!

jesus girl is just skin and bones at this point

That last page?????

That last page?????

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---------!!!!!!

TRUCK-KUN NOOOOO

Our girl may have unfortunately become all skin and bones, but knowing that she has once again gotten will to live her life, comforts my heart.

damn that was awesome

Truck-kun delivers another memento mori

I WANNA KNOW HOW SHE FREAKING DIED GOSH DARN IT!!!!

Jeeze Sakura's final words simply being "I'm off" hit me hard, in the feels for some reason.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

And so it ends just like that. I was expecting a more dramatic ending but, I sure don't mind a neutral/wholesome ending. Also I ship her and Kaede so damn much.
Overall a pretty great manga, I expected no less from this author.
Thanks for your hardwork!

Simply amazing

Yeah, I think the ending was a sort of parallel/culmination of Sakura's death and Haruki's feelings. She's finally confronting the accident and coming to terms with her own suicidal thoughts.

Overall one of the most profound manga I've read on this site. The only other stories I'm aware of that touch on this subject so well are Murasakino's various works and "Ephemeral Spelling With You." I think it did a great job of discussing the stages of grief, how a support system can help, and finally acceptance.

The last bit about instead of moving on, she went back? Beautiful stuff.

A nice way to end it. ^_^

edit: And a lovely epilogue.

I didn't cry when she said goodbye to Sakura, BUT I'M CRYING NOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!

Seeing Haru so happy, (and not just hurting herself) is so precious! Also, suit with heels is the new Punk Rock!
