| Was he a suicide coach, or am I misunderstanding this completely? |
| At first I thought that he was like a life coatch, trying to help her with escaping her Hikkimori's life. But in the end when I continue to think that he is a life coatch but I also think that he get depressed with being by her side. So that how I explain the end ... |
| huh, but who's the man on the last shot?? |
| The same from the beginning, he is like her boyfriend or her sex partner. |
| It's pretty ambiguous. You can probably read it like they both jumped. Or maybe they changed their mind and ran off together. Probably not, but who knows? I didn't get the impression that he was a "suicide coach" until maybe the end of it, but it's an interesting thought. Same as in Believers, the author seems to have an interest in cults and scams preying on the lonely and impressionable. The title was somewhat misleading, but as a vague and subversive work this doesn't really surprise me. |
| This manga is the definition of suck. Low self esteem girl shuts herself in a 10x12 room and acts like a sex doll while ignoring another man, who supposedly is a counselor but is more like a middle aged man suffering from mid life crisis and wants to have sex with her but feels too guilty to submit to it. 3/10 (Very bad) |
leonippon said: At first i hated the manga, because it caused me a high depressive feeling, but i thougth twice. The mangaka is pretty good to get this feeling with such a short story and few dialogues. What i understand from this manga is that, the man who was trying to help the girl, used to work in a company that fooled people that had hikikomori parents, and stole their money. But he felt bad for doing this, and started his own company. When the sex partner appears, the girl gets more horny because the guy was watching her. All this situation just helps the hired guy to get more depressed, and at the end, both of them commit suicide. Someone disagrees with me? The problem I see with that, is all the stuff is gone. The guy said he would be back the next day. So even if they killed themselves, the stuff wouldn't be gone so quickly. |
| I think it says that whoever win jumps,meaning start a new life. I think the girl won, that is why her room was cleaned up the next day when her boyfriend or whatever came the next day. |
| This was disturbing... Hot Hikkikomori, I would share my room with her lying in bed forever =D |
<3 <3 <3 Kei is love <3 <3 <3 |
| It only makes sense to me if I look at it figuratively instead of literally. The guy helping her only exists in her mind. She created him in desperation to escape her hopeless situation where she was being used. She came up with his character after watching tv and used him as a means to commit suicide. The guy who was using her then cleaned out the apartment and was left wondering why she did it. Something like that??? |

| I also agree with shinigamibunii's theory, it seems like the most plausible considering the ending page and what led up to the events of the suicide. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| all of pop up in my mind is the life coach guy is not real! i mean he don't have place to hide yet still can hide. then pop up from no where. it's very resembles god from oyasumi pun pun. and even in the 2 last page, i bet both of them win because basicly they are same then they are suicede together. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| The live action movie is much better imo. |

| Well done. Right to the point. |
| And still, Bill will live on. He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god. And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |
