How did she survive that fall? Imposible.

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.

I think that is what is happening yes. I wonder if there's another lost loli..hmm...

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"

The real tragedy here is that the manga actually had the same ending as the Anime.

This thing gave me trauma lmao

the truth has be spoken. I mean, what was the point of continuing the manga when it ends EXACTLY THE SAME as the anime.

Auntie was the best character

Ahhh,got it.

I just want to know one thing...so did the Auntie, best character imo, did something inappropriate to Sato, such as molesting or something or she was just...tainting her by example with her idea of "love" ??

There's been no indication or implication that she abused Satou physically. However, just growing up in that apartment would probably be traumatizing on its own. I don't know what it'd do to a child to have to witness their guardian regularly bring in "lovers" who beat her senseless.

Hmm, yeah, that alone must be enough to explain why Sato was,well the way she was. Thanks

Because it couldn't end any other way

Yeah, way too many people assume abuse is primarily or purely physical.

I was half expecting Shio to end up with that girl that was obsessed with Satou, but that probably would have been too happy for this manga

Well after having stopped reading this in the middle of the series, I did read the last 2 chapters. Then I decided to read it from the beginning so I would understand it better. I made it all of 3 or 4 pages until I saw Sato's friend, then I remembered. I guess I literally cannot read any more of this story any longer. I'm dropping out.

Well, that was happy, indeed....

Not going to lie, despite already knowing how this was going to end via the anime, I'm still pretty upset with it.

Satou successfully ruined the chances of her ever getting better. She's so damn young that it's a real tragedy. She is the kind of person who has the best chance of moving on from her traumas in a proper setting. But she's just..done with all that now. All that old pain, her old family, her brother who actually cares about her. Okay, great. Now she's going to be wholeheartedly devoted to a dead serial killer for the rest of her life. Is she happy right now? Sure, I guess, in the same way an insane person might be happy with themselves for being the president of the world.

I really hope that last panel wasn't her abducting some kid she thinks Satou was reborn into, starting the tragedy all over again...

I'm usually pretty okay with more depressing or twisted stories, but the way this one unfolded laid bare some emotions about this sort of story that just makes me cringe. The art really creates a disconnect between what's happening and how it's portrayed, which probably gives you a false sense of security even though things are falling apart from all sides. Can't say I'd ever recommend it to anyone, but I suppose I appreciate it for what it is, even if I think the ending sucks as there's no catharsis at the end for the readers to catch their breath. It starts depressing and ends even more depressing.

Wow, the Happy Sugar Life Violated My Moral Standards At Chapter _____ Essay Contest entries are fascinating.

Yeah, people shouldn't waste their time analyzing this trash

rip crazy teen, she tried her best #thuglife

And they lived happily ever after.

PRICELESS. BRILLIANT.

So the manga artist gave us the same ending as the anime WTF do you guys thing we will get a alternate ending?

Shouko was a pretty good litmus test for peoples' ability to judge character and analyze motivations.

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.

How dare this author write something I don't like but kept reading like a idiot they should be ashamed
