| I expected this kind of ending from the beginning but it's still pretty damn sad. |
| No romanticism, no bullshit, just a bang. Awesome. |
 |
| very good ending for it's kind. i think somehow he achieved his goal. he killed a "bad guy". sumida's of course not the exemplary bad person nor does he have ulterior motives, still he himself and his surroundings made him into what he was. a bad being with a monster within. no clue how to rate this manga. |
| Meh..expected much more from the ending. |

| I loved that this ending didn't turn into a typical boring sentimental happy ending. But the cop letting a known murderer have an extra day of freedom under any circumstances is ridiculous. |

But the cop letting a known murderer have an extra day of freedom under any circumstances is ridiculous. even in this shitty part of japan ? it's kinda small and rustic. maybe he is one of those people who still have faith in other humans and humans in general. you know where i am goin, right ? |
| I must not be as cynical as I believe myself to be. I didn't even entertain the idea that the manga would actually end this way - abrupt and meaninglessly. But I guess that was the whole point of the manga. :'( |
| I thought the ending was perfect. The cop letting him go for a night was a bit weird, though. I assume that one-eyed monster thing that we saw occasionally throughout the manga was Sumida's "inner demon" or something. |
| I'm glad Sumida killed himself; anything else would have been too out of character. I'm also glad the ending didn't take a sentimental, let's-turn-this-around route. I prefer the manga in many ways to Sono's adaptation. The officer letting him off for another day was ridiculous, though. |
| As upsetting as it is, this was the best possible ending. None-the-less, I don't know why he felt the need to atone for killing his deadbeat father in such a way. A prison sentence would have been more than adequate. |
| The officer letting him off for the night was a bit weird. The ending was great, though. The moment Sumada was offered that gun I had a feeling that'd be the cause of his death. |
 |
| Great ending, very realistic. If you liked this checked out True Detective Season 1. Also, as i was reading the last chapter, this song come on next in my playlist. Goes with it perfectly. Ólafur Arnalds - Brim https://youtu.be/cEfLFhWqTLA |

| I expected a cathartic ending :( but oh well, this is much better ending than Ciguatera |
| Not sure how to feel about Keiko Chazawa honestly. I do want to say that she's a favorite character of mine, but her love for Sumida seemed to be pure infatuation. They are both teenagers so how can they really be sure that they love each other? From MAL's bio of her: "Keiko Chazawa is a classmate of Yuuichi Sumida. She harbors a severe crush on Yuuichi. Keiko's home life isn't much better than Yuuichi's. Her mother builds a gallows with a noose in place for Keiko to take her own life. Her mother believes her life would be better off without Keiko. Under these circumstances, Keiko pays a visit to Yuuichi's home. A group of people are lingering nearby who live in make shift tents on the property. Keiko tries to befriend Yuuichi, but she is berated and even physically assaulted. She doesn't get deterred though and sticks around." She is an awesome character for sure with all her courage throughout the manga, but her "love" for Sumida is questionable. Perhaps they mention how terrible her home life is and how she feels like she relates to Sumida or feel comfortable around him because he is broken himself too. Anyhow, it sucks that it's not a happy ending but this is better IMO. Really makes the manga more realistic. This manga reminds me a lot about another manga Tsumi to Batsu: A Falsified Romance that deals with redemption too. I highly reccomend this series if you enjoyed Himizu. |
| wow I'm speechless and depressed I stalled this after the first volume for a long time, I picked it up again today and rushed it wow, depressing, yet beautiful this was such a fitting ending, anything else wouldn't have been as impactful as this one of the best manga I've ever read I will read Furuya's other works |
| Bittersweet endings in drama/psychological mangas are the best ngl this is a 9/10 I really enjoyed it for what it was. |
 yikes |
| From the beginning, I knew this isn't going to end well for the MC, but damn, I hoped I was wrong. He could have a better life, it was just his choice to die |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| I had high hopes for this anime, but it felt like everything up till chapter 23 is completely forgettable. The author threw out of the window every character except for Sumida and Chizawa. The last chapter is great compared to the overall series. |
  |
| No idea why the score for this manga isn't at least an 8. I really enjoyed it and I think its a hidden gem |
  |
| Didn't care for this manga. It was just a collection of bad situations escalating into terrible situations on a whim. I didn't connect with our MC and honestly I still have no idea what exactly this manga was trying to portray. |
| Man, I expected the ending but I kind of hoping that there will Sumida will attain deliverance from his sin and thoughts. I enjoyed reading this but I'm having mixed emotions. |
