| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- ..and its over, man that was a good series lol In the end it was never revealed who he really was, and what happened to Sakura? I also question his reason for repeating highschool, I mean He did go to elementary school he could of continued to college right? Ah well, very funny overall, so long Sumire! you crazy old man..T-T |
| Man I can't believe it's over, I loved this, this was such a great series! x] I'm kinda sad, but it's alright, I love good endings; I would rather have had it end at 5 volumes then continue needlessly for 20-30 volumes. x] (spoilers) I knew they wouldn't reveal the identity and character of the old man in the end but, that's alright too, because it doesnt matter: because Sumire is Sumire. :] I found it beautiful in the end, how Sumire is still changing people's lives, but she herself never changes. Sakura too, in her own way changes people's lives. I think that's why the puppeteers are doing this, you know? Anyways, I'll miss this manga, farewell Sumire. n_n |
| Sumire ;3; gahhh. This manga finally ended. I had a blast reading this. It was creative, funny, and geez. Unique. I want more of this kind of stuff in the future xD well... ONTO THE SEQUEL |
 |
| I thought they would run to each other and hug or something, lol. Anyway it was fun reading this manga. |
| I love how the author hinted the reason behind those pretentious eyes. Seeing as how many people pretend not to know him (mostly the adults), it lets us have a glimpse of the old man's past and that he made a difference in a ton of people's lives. I'm going to miss this manga. Sumire was hilarious and touching to the very end T_T |

| What an unexpectedly touching and memorable ending this turned out to be. |
| That was a touching ending for a comedy series :) 9/10 really hope to see this as an anime, I still don't know if Sumire is voiced as an old man or 16yrs old hs girl :3 |

| I teared up a bit. 8/10 |
| I've never cried so much about a old man crying. |

| Seeing how it transitions into 17-sai in the end, i now get why it is suggested to read them in release order. Also it was surprising to find out it is not a 1 year gap between them, but the whole 6 years. The ending sure felt abrupt and it's a bit of shame because i think there could have been more stories told about years of their school life. Nonetheless, it found it very touching and couldn't hold back tears when the old man was shown crying. In the end, he never let himself be out of character, that's some admirable devotion o7 PirateKingz said: I love how the author hinted the reason behind those pretentious eyes.

It really adds another layer of depth about old man's character. |

| Such a touching ending ;-; |

| If there is truly is something on the other end of the spectrum from cosmic horror ... a cosmic beauty(?), perhaps, then this panel of the old man crying encapsulates it perfectly, I like not knowing any specific reason for him being that way—because there isn't any reason compelling enough to make a satisfying ending, at least none without a lot of shadow-work done beforehand in the story. But this story was never about that. The point was to be with and enjoy Sumire's character. Like the other characters in the story do. Like the Old Man does himself. Like we all do. Like those who read the story in the future will do. And like the characters who meet Sumire and the Old Man next will do. Why? Does he live through Sumire? Does Sumire live through him? Are they one-and-the-same, a metaphor for transcience, or for eternal things, perhaps satire about being born in the wrong body? Fuck if I know. But Goddamn does it bring a tear to my eye. —and there, now its gone. |

| I don't know about the interpretations of "Sumire was the Old Man's daughter", but I loved that anytime the story got into a heartwarming moment...something would happen and we'd be reminded that Sumire is just a puppet. Like when Ageha is crying because she doesn't have any friends, and Sumire reaches out to her, then runs off after Ageha takes her hand...leaving Ageha holding Sumire's arm, lmao. Surprisingly wholesome, though I could've done without the creepy moments with Sumire hinting that "she" wanted to be around naked high school girls. I get it, ridiculous moment, but idk, some of those moments seemed taken too far to be funny. I did enjoy the twist when Sumire won student council presidency (...only for that plot to be dropped immediately, for some reason?) and that ero-club member card fell out of the Old Man's suit pocket (which, it turns out, belonged to that yakuza that Akebi stripped). The chapters with Ryuuji and the Young Woman were hilarious, and how much easier her expressions were to read than the Old Man's. A bit strange for the Old Man to lie that he was going to go far away. Or maybe he did, then came back? Or maybe he meant it metaphorically? Who knows. And I like the interpretation that Sumire had helped others, and that's why they all refused to address the elephant in the room. 9/10, a surprisingly good, wholesome and funny story. |
