I'm...going to lie down. Preferably for a good long while.

Best guess as to what this is is Shimiji dealing with the fallout of something happening to her girlfriend, and either accepting it and moving on (relies on egg girl not being the friend in the colored strips) or mending her relationship and both of them being able to reconcile and heal one another.

Like with Girls Last Tour, it's a happy ending, but depending on your view it's either a bittersweet one or a hopeful one.

I think there's some stuff about storytelling to I'm not sure.

Huh. An okay ending but at least its not depressing.

Finally together again.

I was worried the ending for this one would make me feel empty like Girls Last Tour did, I'm glad it didn't.

this was pretty trippy and cute, loved the whole journey.

it's shimeji simulOVER folks...
it was a wild ride but i thoroughly loved this one, another absolute heart wrenching and heartfelt tkmiz work.

truly incredible

What an absolutely incredible and unique story. And utterly beautiful.

I might be reading into it too literally, but I felt that the prologue strip happened before the "simulation" and affected Shimeji so much that it took years of simulated time to come out of her isolation.

It's definitely a prologue set a couple years before the series, she's in middle school there and high school here. After Yocchan's death Shimeji stopped going to school for the rest of middle school and only started attending again in high school. Yocchan wasn't any Shimeji Simulation character and she wasn't around for any of its events.
