| Kind of expected something like this to happen :/ Well, if this is heading the way I think it is, then it's gonna be a pretty cheesy ending :S |

Kurisu86 said: bklynrob said: Yeah, I was thinking that too. And even when they were first on the roof and she was running toward the edge, I kind of expected her to trip and fall off...Am I an evil person?Wow, what an ending. With the way her novel ended, I half-expected her to jump off the roof, so I guess there is still some hope left... Same here when he read the novel and the story ended with her jumping off the roof I expected Renji to run towards the roof top and say Chihiro stop. Sad ending, but one of the best episodes I've seen thus far. |
 |
| This hurts so...... garhhhhh. *sobs* |
| Good to know I'm not the only one who thought she'd jump off the roof. |

| Arrrrrrgggggg!!!! Nooooooo!!! D: Fuck, that fucking show... After Renji read that ending, it was obvious what Chihiro wanted to do. She went for the easy option unfortunately... It's so sad since that date was so beautiful. They had such a great chemistry. I don't think that Renji will be able to accept it. But there is still one thing that make me hope, it's the sentence Chihiro said in the episode 11 preview, she said ''Engrave me some memories that will stay forever''. It's pretty much impossible normally, but could she remember him, even if she ripped those pages? Like if love was more powerful than her condition? |

| I was frankly shocked that she just tore out the pages of her diary instead of jumping off the roof, although I probably shouldn't have been. The entirety of her story was symbolic of an element of her life; thus, the girl in her story killing herself would be as well. It could be said that her tearing out so much of her life is killing part of herself. I also agree that the girls in this anime have sex way too soon. |

| ep scarred me a little it I thought something else was going to happen there O_O still sad T-T so many feels |
 |
| I cried like 2 times during this episode okay. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MAN. USJFBSDFBSDFBSFDBSBDF DAT ENDING One more episode left! |
| Just realized that Himura guy reminds me the priest form Fate/Zero. I hope he's not sucha a jerk. So Chihiro has chosen a sad ending for her story. Wow, the twists. I wonder how it ends. Last episode :/ |
| holy sht, i'd be lying if the thought of chihiro jumping wasn't filling my mind each passing moment. |
| noooooooooo |
"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." |
| Damn I think this was the best episode until now |
 |
| on the other hand, this could totally work for a hentai idea... girl not remembering anything about sex, but her body remembers it... just sayin' shit so i don't have to feel depressed |
  |
| more #sex , but I liked this sex more than the previous sex :) This was very sad, sadder than it would've been if she had just jumped off the cliff. |
 |
| Their date was so sweet! Their kisses too and they had their first time together, it was so sad when Chihiro threw all the pages away, it broke my heart! |
 |
| Another amazing episode!! 5/5 Wonder what's gonna happen on last episode now :C |
 |
| ...Love prevails? Casting aside my issues with the additional out-of-place sex scene, the real question here is whether Chihiro throwing away her memories was an act of love or an act of selfishness. After mulling on it for quite a long time (the potential implications of this episode dumbfounded me), I've come to the conclusion that, unlike with Miyako's break-up scenario, this stemmed out of love. Chihiro stood to gain nothing by casting herself away (figuratively). She herself noted that her life became much happier after Renji entered it. However, knowing the pain he would need to suffer, she decided that the only way to "release" Renji from her burden would be to do so herself, directly. She made peace with it. If Renji was to ever let go of Chihiro, now would be the time to do it. A better ending is unlikely to present itself. Of course, if Renji has learned to (truly) love, I get the feeling that's not what he'll choose. After all... love prevails. In a series like this, the ending is very important. Given the fairy tale motif this story uses, the title of this episode, "ever forever", is an intriguing phrase. |
| Oh my gosh, that part at the end when she threw all the papers. I almost started crying. As for the two of them having sex, it didn’t bother me with Miya and Hiro since they knew each other for a long while, they were both seventeen, etc. However, with Renji and Chihiro, it’s different. Renji’s probably fifteen or something, and Chihiro, while sixteen, has the mentality of a twelve year old. That and she’s basically only known him for one day. The innocence thing that people were complaining about with Miya and Hiro didn’t really hit me, but I feel it applies here. Still, it’s not going to affect my rating of the show, though it definitely affects my rating of the episode. 4/5 Looking forward to the next episode. The moment of truth. Wonder if anything will happen between Kei and Katsuyo. |

| Sex scene was really forced, but that's pretty much all visual novels. |

Anything as good as that. |
| This series reminds me why I can't be bothered with relationships anymore... I really don't approve of what Chihiro did. |
| TF yooo~~~, immediate sex, LOL. They sure have guts doing it on public for the first timer, I applause you. Then they broke up. Good bye youth. 3.3/5 |
 |
| Damn thats what I call a one night stand, thought shit was going to be lit at the last part. |
 |
| I think I've never cried so hard over a show before. |

| Chihiro....oh man I have no words for that ending. |
 |
| What? They "did" it in the rooftop? Anyway, that ending though. I didn't expect she'll remove all of her memories with Renji, I thought she'll jump off from the rooftop, and I don't know which is worse. Shaft really did a great job with the vfx here. |
 |
| Yep, I enjoy Chihiro and the man more than other characters, and her arc is more enjoyable.. Well, let's see, how it ends.. |
| MY HEART IS BROKE INTO SMALL PIECES... both of them don't deserve that pain. |
| THANK GOD SHE DIDN'T JUMP FROM THE ROOF. That said, the last episode is still left for me, but the move of throw alway the pages with memories was obvious... and useless. Chihiro memories are protected forever, in Renji's memories. Hope they reach this conclusion in the final. You guys should Watch "I want to eat your pancreas" movie after this series. Are two dramas that match pretty well. |
 |
| Renji laying the pipe on the rooftop, nice work even if it's uncomfy. Can't let those moments wait She can tear up the diary but can't tear up little kid on the way! |
 |
| lol did they just fuck on the roof that aside, she was 'dying' every 13 hours anyway. She basically committed extra-suicide |
 |
| W-w-w-WHAT ?! CHIHIRO !!! I was feeling so invested in her relationship with Renji... I feel so bad for them both. But at the same time, I understand Chihiro. It is true that no matter what, their story cannot have a happy ending, at least not in the conventional way. But what will happen to Chihiro now ? She soon will be left with no memories, and no way to know all that happened before... Please don't tell me she's gonna commit suicide. I don't want her to commit suicide. |
 |
| damn we went from having a date to naked hand holding to breaking up and throwing all the pages away in one day... I hope Renji somehow fixes this mess T_T |

|
| It's definitely odd to see them be physical despite Chihiro basically still being 12. They really did set it up like she was going to jump but this at least has a way of turning out alright, it really is depressing to have to live by your old self and redefining yourself through a diary. |
 |
| I wasn't ready for the episode to end like that. My heart is broken in pieces |
| “I won’t rely on anyone anymore. I don’t care if no one understands.” – Homura Akemi |
| Only 13 hours... Chihiro really took the best possible option, but to make someone disappear from your life as easily as it is with Chihiro's situation is enormously scary, simply cut some leaves and throw them away... The determination and courage to be able to do it. .. When in the novel it said that the girl burned all the portraits, and also got the castle with the memories. And she said "God took the last remnant of the world, and threw it off the cliff" I thought he would kill himself. |
 |
| They really bang on the roof xD, also I thought she bout to jump from the rooftop but what she did was worse (T_T) |
| For Chihiro, it's worse to be forgotten than it is to disappear. The former is no different to an unceremonious death, while the latter is akin to suicide. At the very least, voluntarily disappearing is a conscious choice one can make, if just to retain some semblance of control of one's life. Wow, what an anime. |
| It was a simple little scene but Renji securing the claw game plushie was adorable. Chihiro's decision is sad and all but can't help but think about the mess all that paper is gonna leave lol |
| I wonder if in the Visual Novel the Chihiro ending is considered the "bad ending" and the Miyako ending is the "good ending"? I'm not surprised I wasn't alone in thinking that Chihiro was going to jump, but in a way, what happened was worse than that. Renji knows she's alive, but can never see her again, and Chihiro willingly cut herself off from him |
