| Chiaki was real adorable this episode. Nocturnal said: A marriage proposal after all those years. Now that is love. Indeed. |
Ralonzo said: Umm, should they have a scene with a dude polishing the staff in a seinen? Hehe. Uh, how old was Chiaki supposed to be when she was being proposed to? 12? |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| OMG, I cried while I was watching the end. I'm sorry for Chiaki :/ |
| really good episode chiaki story was defenitly beautiful but sad. its really curious me how much old chiaki was when she died because she look like a kid but she already got propaused and all. |

cyruz said: I think this episode was amazing. Very awesome. It had a good story and many hilarious moments. Sometimes I thought I was watching a comedy. Fumika's sqeaking when the cat passed her by at the grave and the scenes with the staves were really funny. As well as the *throws pillow - reversal - "What's your problem?* scene. xD Also Chiaki's a real cutie. Looking forward to more. "whats your problem?" that was awesome xD touching episode, chiaki<3 loved the "ring"-I do part, beautiful I have to say >.> she is 21?! |
 |
| This episode was one of the less better ones, though that doesn't make it a bad episode. We got some story on Chiaki, and it was a pretty cute dying story. Love drama with a bad end. |
 |
| A really nice episode. |
 |
| So either the guy was a lolicon, or Chiaki looks waaaaaay to young to be of legal age. |
| That was a cute episode. I liked the background on Chiaki and it made me feel happy for her when she found that little happiness at the end of the episode. Shigofumi just gets better and better. |
 |
| Well at least the staves were funny. XD |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Great background story, I enjoyed it. :) I'm still shocked he never married and just adopted. What a good guy. =p |

| An excellent blending of humor and drama, flawlessly executed, my second favorite episode of the series. I was actually expecting a genuine letter to Chiaki once Fumika mentioned she was actually doing work, but this was even better. 5/5. |
| More chiaki would be nice. So chiaki's lover couldn't find another soul mate other than chiaki 6/10 |

| I almost cried...then it changed to Kanaka moaning while being polished XD |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| What a sad episode, I almost cried, felt sorry for Chiaki =/ |
 |
| While it was an onsen/beach episode the ending was just heart warming! Really nice. |
 |
| Great episode. It seems to me that back then it was legal for an adult to marry a child. This happened to someone I know's grandparents. |
| ^Drinking age in Japan is 20, so Chiaki was already an adult. She definitely looked really young though, but at times in the flashback you could tell by her demeanor that she wasn't incredibly childlike either. I liked the tone of this episode a lot, it was a nice change from the darker episodes. It did feel a little weird, as if I was watching some other show for most of the episode though, haha. The comedic scenes were fun. Chiaki's backstory was really sad, she died in her happiest moment. I mean I guess it's not totally bad because she did have a lot of fun, but it's the potential of a more fulfilling life after the proposal that makes it sad. But it was really touching, how he proposed to her with the tombstone. Even after all these years, he still loves her. I'm crying again just thinking about it. The shigofumi not being really a letter was a nice touch, and made it all the more meaningful. |
| Nice episode for a change of pace. It seems like Kaname-kun was having a great time with those staves. |
 |
| That was a sweet episode. It was really touching when Chiaki found out that her fiance didn't marry another woman. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I was so bitter when I saw Chiaki's past, but I was glad that she had her chance to get to know her better, so I thought she would remain an anonymous character. Very romantic the narrative in the final part of the episode. <3 |
 |
| The best episode by far. It's exactly the thing I hoped to see in this anime. |
| Awww Chiaki :( The ending is so romantic, almost like Romeo & Juliet Even in death they still love each other |
"Signature removed"   |
| Great episode! To all the people that somehow missed an entire part of Chiarki's backstory and now make claims about Chiaki's lover being a pedo: She was an adult. When she's drinking beer, she explains that she's over 21 & we know that she didn't age ever since dying. She just looks younger (she's pretty short), the dude was probably not much older than her. |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| My first reaction to the episode was "Holy age gap Batman". I mean seriously, she looks 12 and he looks like he's 30. I can buy the "she looks younger than she is" trope that's prevalent in every anime but still, was there any reason that the dude couldn't have been as young as she was ? |
| That's actually very tragic. The accident happened while Kyosumi was declaring and he was the only one that survived, now imagine the guilt he carried in his conscience for the rest of his life. No wonder he didn't marry anyone else. It's wholesome to see it from Chiaki's perspective, but that could've been a really sad life for him, a long one. Though, if he adopted and raised a girl, he probably would've found some happiness. |

| So dull. Shigofumi starts strong with an engaging and unique premise, a stoic but dedicated heroine, a giddy sentient staff to contrast her with, and the surprisingly involved process of being a posthumous mail carrier. As of this episode, it has no obvious identity anymore. It may as well be a slice-of-life with some bittersweet elements involving a bunch of lovesick students going on adventures and "finding themselves", pulling our tragic kuudere heroine out of her shell and making her find true friendship. Cliche and boring. |

| Chiaki-chan is a hoot she's the spice this anime needs, lol I'm happy for Chiaki-san maybe this will help remove some of the regrets of her death! |
