I don't think it was actually supernatural. The 4th "tachibana" was most likely a quadruplet and the whole "i am god and i keep getting reborn" could have been his way of explaining how he imagined himself as he kept seeing his brothers die. I assume they all kept in tight contact with each other (hence why they each knew pretty well what was happening and relations). I wouldn't be surprised if they even switched places a few times before there was only the 4th one. There is probably a different way to look into it deeper and analyze it, but im currently at work on the toilet and don't have the time for that </3
Quite conflicted about the supernatural part in the story. What exactly did it do/contribute to the story, except help Masato's case in some way? Aside that, the story was solid. The themes of self-harm, depression, suicide, social isolation, social execution of some sort, and even socio/psychopathy was on point. How scary is it to seek medical help from a person who should be receiving the treatment himself? Meanwhile, I am so happy for Yuta for finding love despite all that he experienced and hopefully the book will enlighten people about the situation as enters a new chapter of his life. Haruno x Igarashi, after 30 years, huh? Why not?
