Two hopes ended in a very tragic death..
I really envy Shimizu here, since she haven't given up on her dreams even after all this
and out of all people Masao's 2nd death was really not worth showing here

Oh, Megumi. I wish she could've gotten away.

Stupid Natsuno.

And it's a real shame for Yoshie and Shizuka too. So sad.

As for Masao, the manga makes him even more pathetic and unsympathetic than the anime. After rewatching the anime he's not even that bad in it but here... not so much.

I didn't really like Megumi. From the onset she came across as a narcissistic hedonist. Despite my distaste for such characters, I held little reprimand about her until she murdered the first of her many victims, which revealed her more malicious and vindictive character. The train of thought she invested beforehand when she killed Tohru and Kaori's father kindled my "hate" for her. Since then, I hoped I would see her fall by the manga's end.

Yet I still felt a tinge of sadness and sympathy when Natsuno used Megumi's "love" for him to ensure her downfall. Although her acts warranted this form of judicial intervention, I cannot accept the twisted nature which Natsuno employed to bring about her death.

I would have preferred Natsuno directly confront Megumi as he did with Tatsumi. To use the emotional vulnerabilities of another to bring harm, I find deplorable and unjustified, even though Megumi used those same tactics to hurt Natsuno and Kaori to quiet her jealousy flares.

I hoped Natsuno was above such primal measures, but I guess he need "to do evil, to defeat greater evil."

What do you all think?

I know, I'm not arguing with that, it's true after all. But I still liked her. She's not really sympathetic or really even tragic but still, I felt sad when she died.

I never liked Natsuno. He was always just annoying to me and rather unlikable. He doesn't even do anything to try and save Tooru who was pretty much his only reason for fighting against the shiki in the first place. After he dies and becomes a Jinrou he just stops trying to help Tooru and completely changes. He screws over the shiki for no particular reason aside from his own petty revenge and in the end the town is still burned down, lots of people die, and it was all pointless.

Natsuno was never fighting for Tohru, or anyone. He said it himself, he hates both humans and shiki. He just hates shiki more.

He's just a whiny teenage werewolf.

He's not even important in the novel, he was just there for the fujoshi appeal.

I really want to read the original novel. It makes me wonder how things go down without Natsuno coming back.

And I know he says that, but before he was turned he was all about convincing Toru to run off with him and escape and afterwards it's just like he stopped caring.

I don't know about that. I'm not really sure if he considered Tohru a friend. Tohru was the one pestering him to hang out and stuff. Maybe he was tsundere for him or something.

The only people he actually helped were the Tanakas, since they teamed up with him to investigate.

Teaming up with Ozaki was just a mutual interest.

The entire reason he decided to hunt the Shiki in the first place was the fact that they killed Tohru. Plus Natsuno choose to hang out with him.
