| IIRC, Yanagi always depend on Kazuki, tho she didnt realize it she trusts him more than her bf. when Yanagi made her wish, her subconscious believed that if something happened Kazuki will come and save her, that's what made Maria recognized him as 'savior'. Yanagi's subconscious is the cause of Kazuki's box. ^always thought like that but well, if the translator said it's not then it's not ¯_(ツ)_/¯ |

| That was an incredible ending to an awesome series XD I dont cry over stuff like this but I almost shed a tear or two... ALMOST and yuuri got a fan in me haha |
| Holy shit that was so freaking good. I don't know what to do with my life now that it has ended lol. I really doubted the author could make an ending that could satisfy me and I was really afraid of getting disappointed at the end with my favorite book and novel of all times, but the bastard actually did it, fucking genius. I'll probably read his another novel, Kamisu Reina. I couldn't stop myself from crying at most epilogue scenes, especially the scene when Kazuki cries for making Maria sad and she hugs him, the one where Daiya show he has forgiven Kazuki, the moment Kazuki becomes able to speak again... But most of all when I saw "Maria Hoshino" in the last page, daamn, that broke the tears flow control in my eyes. Now I can't help but think about their honeymoon ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I'm even writting a fanfic even though I rarely do that. If I think it's good enough I'll post it on my MAL blog and maybe here if you guys want it. |
| Kazuki went through a lot of shit, but good for him in the end! :) Great series~! |

| I haven't seen anyone mention the dog yet. (beginning of chapter 3) After Wish Crushing-Cinema, Kazu receives an e-mail from Daiya that contains nothing but an address. (this is before Daiya got stabbed) Kazu goes to this address and sees Otanashi on the name plate. He asks the inhabitant (a middle aged woman) of the house about Otanashi, but is cut short. In order to get her attention he climbed over the fence and kills her dog. I get that Kazu's resolve to find Maria was rock solid, but if someone could just tell me that he didn't actually kill that dog IRL, that would be just swell. (Cuz it sure as hell seems that he actually did. It was definitely not an hallucination from one of the loops.) |

| The despair and suffering I read and felt in Kazuki's point of view was a tearjerker for me. Seeing him spiral so far and then his thoughts getting more and more broken up was depressing. Epilogue was perfect without seeming too easy and happy. |

| What a ride... Amazing novel & an absolute pleasure to read. Every volume was incredible: Vol 1's use of pretty much 1 setting Vol 2's character development Vol 3 & 4's creativity and intelligence Vol 5 & 6's conflict between characters and finally Vol 7's view of Kazuki's despair and satisfying ending. EEE, thanks so much for the translations. I am so glad that I didn't miss out on this masterpiece! Finished it all in 5 days so I'm sad now :( Also that title spoiler: Maria Hoshino at the very end was the icing on the cake. Brilliant. |

| Didn't realize this series ended, probably why I got a hate comment for my review of this out of nowhere. Time to finish this trainwreck of a story. |

| Chapter 3 was so painful to read. However this was the best volume in the series by far, I'd like to think. dennverr said: "Maria."Epilogue: - I open my mouth to say the word I hold dearest. “ ” - What say kazuki? |
 obscureanimefan said: I think little girls are sexy. |
| This volume has definitely become my favorite of the series. It was incredible from start to finish. I loved how Kazuki started as one of the most typical and generic protagonists, and then slowly progressed throughout 7 volumes into an absolutely insane and interesting protagonist. And we got to experience his transformation through his mind the whole way. When he killed the poor dog and ripped out its insides, it made me go, "Holy shittt." After, we got to see him become almost completely broken by the end of chapter 3. Reading through all his struggles during chapters 1 and 3 was heartbreaking. Finally, we were able to follow along his mind as he recovered in his heartwarming epilogue :) Aya is so unique and learning about her character in this volume was really entertaining. And the twist with what Maria thought her words meant was great. If I understood it correctly, when Aya told Maria that Maria had to become her, she just meant that she wanted Maria to become like her and be filled with passion for something? But Maria mistook this, and thought that she meant that she had to actually become Aya herself? Ahh, I'm soo glad there was an epilogue. There are so many stories out there that need one, but don't have one. And this epilogue is probably the most satisfying. I loved that we were able get short stories told from other characters' perspectives that we didn't see perspectives of before. This was my first light novel, and it's opened me up to the medium of Japanese novels/light novels (already have my next one planned out). I'm gonna miss it, but this has been such an amazing and enjoyable read 😊 |
| What a read.. This has become my favourite series of all time by far. The emotional roller coaster this last volume was is amazing. Watching Kazu struggle and struggle to get to Maria, made me kinda depressed. He slowly goes insane losing, all his will many times. When Maria realizes her true feelings towards him it warmed me up inside.. But reading the scene when she was repeating his name over and over without a response hurt, I just wanted him to shout out her name and embrace her. Getting to see Maria's background (finnaly) was pretty interesting, I kinda wanted to know a bit more about Aya. The epilogue was quite well done, but again very very depressing. Each of the characters took a toll mentally and physically, but seeing most of them standing back on their own feet was amazing. Once Kazu finnaly returned to normal and married Maria I had a huge grin on my face. I couldn't have asked for a better ending. I'm not sure how I would've felt if it had a bad ending.. After all Kazu went through to be with Maria I'm glad they can finnaly be together. An incredible series, deffiantly going to re-read in the future :D |

xzysc said: I have a problem: if the entire romantic premise between Kazuki and Maria relied on an emotional or even existential symmetry between the two (i.e. both are the other's sole reason for being etc.), how are we supposed to understand the fact that Kazuki was practically dragged into the whole shebang in the first place by Maria's flawed wish? To put it another way, just like how there is a zeroth Maria that exists prior to all boxes isn't there also a zeroth Kazuki who, if not for Maria's wish, would have possessed a different set of priorities and sense of being? And if thats the case, the entire ending -"happy" as it is (which is also ironic, seeing that Maria's relinquishment of her former wish actually accomplishes it) - seems to be predicated on the fact that Kazuki simply doesn't seem to care in any way (even after he finds out the truth from O in volume 5) about being manipulated by Maria's wishes since day one. So in fact, the only thing we know about Kazuki before Maria intervened is that he's super gentle to Yannagi -and we only know that because it was deemed significant by Maria and it ended up being the single factor that got Kazuki into the whole mess. This is all to say, this series is completely oriented towards Maria while Kazuki, interestingly, is an empty vessel who exists solely for Maria to achieve her real wish (i.e. to find a meaning to life). And thus, we arrive at the end of the tale with the strange discovery that Kazuki is in fact the flawless "box" of the story. But what about the zeroth Kazuki? How would he feel about everything? You know, that's a really good point. It is interesting to think about whether Kazuki really wanted to help Maria and if, like Maria, there is a different Kazuki that existed before her wish was made. However, here's how I saw it. I never got the sense that Kazuki's personality was changed because of Maria's wish. If I recall correctly, Maria subconsciously gave him the power to be her savior after hearing about how he helped Yannagi. Therefore, Kazuki's extreme devotion to Maria and the subsequent plot of the novels is all a direct result of decisions he made with his own free will, and the power of Maria's box enables him to become her savior. In this respect, I don't think there would be a zeroth Kazuki. While his connection with Maria is definitely a turning point in his life, he freely made the choice to devote his life to her. Therefore, there wouldn't be a zeroth Kazuki because there was never any part of him that desired something else and was forced into submission by something outside of his control. This is different from Maria's situation because her decisions and ideals in the novel are all influenced by her sister. Kazuki willingly chose to throw away everything for Maria, but the true Maria never would have chosen to become a box that grants other people's wishes. She only did so because she more or less felt controlled by the prophecy of her sister (I don't remember that part too well so correct me if I'm wrong). Therefore, there is a zeroth Maria because she felt controlled by an external force into going down a path she never would have taken. But, this situation is different for Kazuki since he was merely given power and allowed to make his own choices. It's still true that Maria (and by extension O) were drawn to him and dramatically impacted his life. But to say that there is a zeroth Kazuki because of their effect on him doesn't seem right to me. I have a hard time picturing a zeroth Kazuki deep inside of himself crying because the present Kazuki isn't living according to his true desires. But I think this comes down to a matter of perception and hinges upon whether or not Maria took away his free will. It's been a while since a read the series, so there's a lot of plot points that I don't remember well. But I think you have a really interesting idea here. |

So i finished volume 7 today, and i kinda agree with you on the zeroth Kazuki not being as important as the zeroth Maria. But in regards to his free will, I have to agree with xzysc; Kazuki did not willingly throw everything away. Before his role as the savior was revealed to him, Daiya and O mentioned that it seemed as if Kazuki was "floating", which I think stand for him not exactly being human, meaning his actions are still being influenced by his role despite him not knowing it. In volume 6, Daiya mentions that Kazuki's actions aren't even machine like. To me he was like a video game script; automatically reading the situation and making the necessary decisions to achieve his goal. Kazuki's willpower was completely and utterly destroyed by the flawless bliss, however every time he gave up he was forced to come back due to his role as the savior. Kazuki had no agency over his life; giving up or dieing were not viable options, saving Maria was the only thing he could do |

| Read this months ago and felt compelled to leave a comment for my favorite light novel. I am so glad I picked this novel up right when volume 7 finished translating, the year-long wait for each volume would have destroyed me. Pleasant series that was very entertaining and captivating. 10/10 would reread in the future |
| Kazuki become desparately crazy is an extreme greatness. Especially at that bang-bang pages. Maybe most emotional literature i read. Epilogue is just perfect. Though i expect another great cliffhanget at the end. 10/10. Gonna give more if i could. |
| Alright, so I finally friggin finished this light novel. I gotta admit... Volume 7 was pretty damn great (except for Chapter 2, which I found was just average). The most insane ride I've ever experienced, and I probably won't read anything like it ever again. And a very satisfying ending, like others have said. Overall, I wouldn't call this series perfect (my main criticisms are Volume 2 being pretty lackluster, the rather lazily written, generic backstories for many characters [and seriously, almost everyone has some kind of love melodrama backstory... it's okay once or twice, but when everyone has it, then it just gets kinda tedious], and some prose/subtlety/over-explanation issues), but in the end, this was still quite a great reading experience. Probably 9.2-9.3/10 or so. |

I went back to try and locate where in the novel the author described pre-Maria Kazuki, but I couldn't find it. I don't remember any point at which the author explicitly indicated that Kazuki's willpower was "completely and utterly destroyed by the flawless bliss," but if that's true, it does make the end of the story pretty bleak. I also don't really agree with the part about Kazuki not being entirely human, but it's definitely a possible interpretation. I think the fact that all of this is up to debate is one of the strongest points of the series and a sign of a really good story. It certainly gives us a lot to think about. |

"- What was her [Maria] name again? My last memories of her have been painted over by the repetitions of this day. If that was the plan of my enemy, then his plan succeeded. The sheer weight of time has driven her out of my head. I can't save her nor is there any point in my actions anymore. I was defeated in every respect." This is after an unknown amount of repetitions, of giving in and remembering his purpose. After this, Kazuki goes back to the campfire and confesses his love for Mogi, but then proclaims "And thus, my long, long fight has finally come to an end. If only that were true." Kazuki admits that he was defeated and tries to give up, but he knows that sooner or later he's going to be drawn back in due to his role as the savior. I 100% agree with you that the end of this story was very bleak. I am that 1 person that disliked this chapter, like how can you do something so terrible to the main character of your story. |

| I actually planned to read it back in March last year but I put this series off considering the final volume was coming out. This is a series that is easily marathoned. The plot with all the boxes may seem absurd and strange at first but all the loose ends tie in together in terrific fashion. Although some things were predictable like Aya's death with her parents, I never complained. 10/10. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| At last I sat down and finished this series, took me way to long. But damn that was one hell of an ending, and that epilogue was sooo beautiful. This is defiantly the best book(series) I have ever read, I haven't read so many books(yet) but I think it's gonna be hard to surpass this one. 10/10 And also! I'm really thankful for the translator, so I could read and enjoy this amazing book series. Thank you very much, you're da real MVP! |

| This was my first light novel. I enjoyed it but don't think it's quite as amazing as some people seem to think. The main problem I had with the series was the relationship between Kazuki and Maria. For the longest time it just felt so fake and forced. Yeah, they spent that eternity together in the Rejecting Classroom and that's supposed to make them closer to each other than anyone else. But I just didn't feel it. There was just no chemistry between them, their interactions somehow lacked any kind of warmth and emotion (might also be because Kazuki was so unbelievably bland for most of the series). In my opinion it wasn't really "love" but just a really unhealthy and weird obsession with each other. Anyway, I didn't buy it and could never shake this thought off throughout the entire series, which kinda diminished my enjoyment. (As far as the romance department goes I preferred the Mogi X Kazuki pairing) Also the Kokone x Daiya relationship was MUCH more interesting and emotional. That being said, I quite liked the series overall and rate it 8/10. |

After the time that they spent in the rejecting classroom, Maria knew kazuki so well that she could predict his thought process and what he was going to say. Remember that their relationship wasn't necessarily romantic to begin with, they were two people with an inseparable bond after spending a life time together, and with actions like the one i mentioned and the opening ceremony it was easy to buy into it. Rafaello_Myles said: I've just ended this magnificent novel and am sad to part with it. But I just have one question, does Hoshino get his speech back at the end after staying in a catatonic state for almost 2 years. I got wedding part but this still not well explained. yes he does, its implied that the " " he says is Maria when he regains consciousness, and after they get married he seems to be back to full functionality. |

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. There was no actual romance between them. The author did add some scenes where they were affectionate with each other later, but those were the ones that felt fake and forced to me (personal opinion), the ones I "didn't buy". Some might argue that the bond they shared was even stronger than simple love and in a sense I agree. Now whether you like the particular relationship they had is a question of personal preferrence. And as far as that goes, their creepy obsession with each other was a part of the story I didn't particularly enjoy. The non-romantic part seemed really unhealthy (but was kind of interesting I guess?) and the few romantic parts came off as the author trying to force the "see, they DO actually love each other romantically" down my throat. Personally I would go as far as saying they did not love each other. They married because they had a crippling dependency (emotionally and otherwise) on each other and couldn't live without each other. And depending on the cirumstances this is not actually as beautiful as it might sound. In fact, it's not even nice. This all sounds harsher than it is and I'm not saying this was actually terrible. But it was the part of the series I disliked the most and that constantly made me lose my immersion in the story. |

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I don't think they are bad things, in fact i think they enhance the story. Their relationship turned unhealthy because kazuki became the savior, he literally had no choice but to pursue Maria. Maria never officially said she loved Kazuki until after he came out of the flawless bliss. She most defiantly cared about him before then, but after she witnessed what her flawless bliss did to him she then decided she would take care of him and they would get married. It does kind urk me how one sided their relationship was and how Maria dragged kazuki into this shit show but that was THE event at the core of this entire story so i can't complain that much. While that may be kinda fucked up this story most defiantly does not have a traditional happy ending. |

| Reading 7 volumes in 3 days might have been bad idea, reading vol 7 made me feel like I'm going insane myself. While story itself was amazing I have no idea how to rate it. It surely deserves 10 because, well, it's simply amazing. On the other hand I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to - surely not enough to give it max score. I'm also rather disappointed with epilogue. It was damn long and showed all characters, which I loved, but failed at the very end by cutting wedding part. Uh, cmon! All I wanted to know by that moment was Kazu's state. All I got was one short sentence from him, making it far too open for my taste. And I still prefer Mogi :s |
