| I applaud the guy for continuing his love for her despite her invisibleness. Although if I was one of the villagers, I'd probably be really creeped out during the wedding. |

| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| Sometimes, a person who acts like the man during this episode is what we see as insane. But, maybe the 'insane' people just see and feel some things in their way that we 'normal' people don't because of us being blinded by the limitations of our naked eyes and senses held back by our logic. What a fantastic episode. |
| I was quite worried about Seijiro, but at the end it was a happy ending. He put in the work to get his invisible wife back, and despite the criticism of others he stood strong until finally Fuki returned. Beautiful stuff. |
| When I think of Mushishi, this is one of the episodes that stand out in my mind. Just the enchanting image of a string coming down from the sky and all the gentle and warm feelings of accepting the ones you love. This is a happy ending without any of the sadness that the other episodes usually have. X) |
| This shows how hard work pays off. I admire the man's endless will which made his wife get in touch with the ground and into his sight once again. Really would have wanted to see the faces of the ones who attented the wedding when Fuki had appeard again. (Not sure if the two at the end did.. But I'm imagining their faces to be even more shocked) |
| While watching this episode I was hoping until the last moment for a happy ending. I am so glad she turned visible again :) Romance and a happy ending... wow!!! |
| Took a a while, but finally a PROPER happy ending rather than a bittersweet one, or just plain sad. I loved the whole episode, but the bit that touched me most was him explaining to Fuki that just because you can't see the stars, it doesn't mean that they aren't there. Followed by him realising the same applies to his current situation with the girl he loves so deeply. |
Alas86 said: Beatiful episode... that flashback Seijirou had where he explained to Fuki that stars dont go away as she thought, but are always there and she just can't see them was brilliant... It was great how that led to him realizing that it's the same thing with Fuki. This episode was incredibly touching. I started crying when Seijiro was talking to Ginko about how Fuki disappeared, but Ginko said that she was right there in the room. And it was touching to see Seijiro hold the wedding even though he couldn't see Fuki, and of course, living on and talking with Fuki as if he could see or hear her. What dedication. I'm glad he learned to accept her and it ended happy :) |
| Finally a happy end. This was a very touching episode. It was sad for the most part, and I was sure it would be a sad or bittersweet ending. But I'm glad that I was wrong. 5/5 |
 |
| Incredible episode. Creative story with a touching happy ending. Mushi-shi is brilliantly imaginative. |
| aww' :( The ending is so nice .. I'm so glad. I thought it would be sad.. |
| If I understood correctly, Fuki became a mushi after the guy (forgot is name) refused her state, but he maried and because of that he was able to saw her and evantually, the whole town was able to saw her? Anyway, it was a nice episode, pretty touching. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Yay! Happy ending :D |
| "He would talk to his imaginary wife" Dude that's me. That's all me. No one knows she exists but she's there! Nah but seriously, I'm glad this ended happily. The wedding ceremony was really touching, and I like how they made an allusion between the stars that can't be seen during the day and Fuki disappearing. Liked the focus on the stars/sky this time as well too, there's something romantic about both. |

| man so glad the ending is happy this time かわいい |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
Alas86 said: Beatiful episode... that flashback Seijirou had where he explained to Fuki that stars dont go away as she thought, but are always there and she just can't see them was brilliant... Completely agree. And The wedding scene and afterwards almost had me in tears....... ; v ;...... Such a beautiful end |
| ✈️ |
| It was nice to see a character, who had no physical evidence for his love to still be there, hope and act like she was. Having faith matters. Along with the point about the stars still being there during the day, this was a nice message. Probably my favorite one so far. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Gosh, one of the most beautiful episode in Mushishi. |
 |
| I think this has been my favourite episode so far. Glad it ended in such a happy way. Just beautiful. |
| This was my favorite chapter in the manga, and the anime recreated it beautifully. My favorite episode. |
| One of my favorite episodes of the series. The ending was so happy, it made me smile like an idiot :D |

| Out of 19 episodes, how many good ends have we had? I always have a bad feeling when a Mushishi episode has a good ending XD |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Happy ending, yay! This Anime seriously touches me. And Fuki is cute. |
 |
| Hooray for a pleasant ending. Good episode. |
| Woah Happy ending Hope this trend continues |
| I really like how they've managed to make each episode different from each other. Mushi fishermen x) |
| good to get a happy ending once in a while. Beautiful episode again souledge94 said: The wedding ceremony was really touching, and I like how they made an allusion between the stars that can't be seen during the day and Fuki disappearing.

| Very meaningful, touching and beautiful episode. So glad it didn't have a sad ending. My second favorite episode yet. |
| I'm so happy that those 2 got a happy ending. The power of belief, it was hilarious on how he conducted his wedding and everyone thought he was nuts....so glad that she eventually came back. |
| Another happy episode! I felt things weren't going to end right when Ginko left them the first time, would've been too easy. I'm really glad that the two of them were reunited, well I guess she never left. |

 |
| not just a happy ending an amazing ending def my favorite one so far!!!! |
 |
| Not my favorite episode, but yay for the happy eneding! :) |
| Very good episode, felt very quick. I was sure Fuki will remain invisible but they caught me by surprise with a happy ending once again. |
| Wow. One of the rare totally happy endings :D |
 |
| I feel like the series has more happy (or happy-ish, at least) endings over these last few episodes compared to the earlier ones. But because I know the show can be so tragic, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time concerned Fuki wouldn't come back. Great episode. |

| Another great one. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Thank god it ended well. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| The implied comparison between the girl and the stars in that they were there even if people couldn't see them was pretty nice. |
 |
| Thank goodness everything resolved well, or this would have been a very tragic. |
  |
| One of my favorite episodes so far, not only the history but also the happy ending (which I wanted a lot, Yehii) xD |
| Easily my second favorite episode thus far. Looooooved it. ❤ |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ⛩️  |
| I was smiling like an idiot at the end of the episode. |
| That mans devotion to his wife was pretty amazing. This was a pretty solid feel-good episode. |
| How is it possible for a show to be this good? Wow, what a wonderful episode. I had to fight back the manly tears at the end. |
