I would have been perfectly fine living my life with her dead dead like id have been fine living in denial like I did with the BananaFish ending but no- she's alive? I thougt when he went into the house it was an hallucination of what he wished had happened but then I read the comments that said the last panel was them old if you zoom in?? You know what I fucking did? I ZOOMED IN AND THAT COMMENTER WAS RIGHT. You're telling me that Satako, the woman that denied her father, he risked her life and families reputation all for Shinpei and denied many more reasonable suitors that would have given her a much better life was contempt in living 50 YEARS without seeing him? Content in having him think she was dead, possibly killing himself, possibly ruining his life entirely because he thought his wife was dead? Worst possible ending ever I just know author was too scared to actually have Satako die so this was the bullshit ending we got. I'd rather her be dead and he lives the rest of his life forever mourning her.
It sounds cruel, but I agree with you AAAAHHHHHH(/TДT)/
All those years he was trying to live on just to fulfill Satoko's wish, and all this time she was alive?!?!?! I think I might have liked it more if they met again in the afterlife. Not on earth. Cuz like, all those living years where you could have formed a family with her, all gone just like that? Like wtf???
my favorite scenes are when he sucks on chani chani's kitty
