I think the point was that in the last moment, it was the first time that Satou felt real, selfless love. She realised that up until this point everything to ensure her 'happy sugar life' had been self-serving, as would letting Shio die with her. I'm pretty sure Satou saving her was meant to be the first and only selfless action Satou has ever taken.
Doesn't excuse a thing she did ofc though, but it isn't meant to be an happy ending. Shio ending up the way she did is more meant to show the way this stuff becomes a cycle. Satou was raised with this fucked up idea of love, and passed it to Shio. Shio will likely do the same.

This really was like watching a car crash. Made me super uncomfy but just couldn't look away. Some things could've been handled better, but it was a ride.

Lol that moment when they forgot the ring I was screaming at the screen like ffs forget it what ya thinking?! then again, seems to me that at the moment when satou was looking dead shouko in the eye she might have already given up on her own life. just a theory idk

overall it's been fun, it's been sad, it's been batshit crazy, it's been illogical and stupid at times, but over all - just amazing xD I've had plenty of emotions provoked and that's exactly what I was looking for
also, would appreciate is someone could pm me some titles similar to this :3

P.S. the blonde guy should have died too, his survival doesnt make sense to me


Bro, a couple of days ago, your profile picture brought me to this anime. And it was an awesome journey lmao. So thank you very much!

So Satou died because she forgot her ring... What a terrible ending. I can't believe that blonde pervert got away. I guess Shio is ready to become the next Satou now.

Wow I'm speechless, this episode was pretty intense stuff and full of surprises (for me anyways). I like how when they fall down, there is darkness because Satou hugs Shio to protect her with her body. And she actually recognizes what she does for her, because she says thank you goodbye . And I think the anime is full of details like this that I have not noticed, so it might be rewatch worthy. My score for the whole show is a strong 7/10 but the bgm/sound design is easy ∞/100 never heard such perfectly composed music in any other anime so far (maybe Hibike Euphonium).

Interesting last episode. I'm not sure what to think, but at least Shio gets to live and maybe she can recover from all of this. She'll definitely be damaged for quite some time though. Maybe she'll be able to let go of Sato in the future.

Ah, I'm beat. It was truly a tragedy. I'm somewhat at a loss for words to be honest. I just feel sad inside. I just feel like lying down on the bed and doing nothing. I feel quite empty to the honest, sigh, tsk. I cried a little towards the end, and how could I not? It’s such a tragedy, a truly bittersweet moment. On one side, Shio-chan is still alive, but on the other side, so many people died, with the most important one because of Satou-chan. Sure, she was a yandere, but she was our yandere. This is almost pretty much my first Yandere anime. I still haven’t watched the likes of Elfen Lied, Mirai Nikki, and other Yandere shows. Sigh, I have no words…. Satou-chan x Shio-chan forever. Sigh....
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

That f*cking ring...

What a tragic ending, I felt really bad for Satou and Shio: their relationship was wrong, yet it surely was true, as they were their feelins. I respect Asahi feelings, but I would've loved our protagonists escaping and starting a new life somewhere.
I guess, from now on, Satou will live in my and Shio's hearts.

Absolutely loved this adaptation.

Well, excluding the horrible anime original ending.
If you set up something like that in episode 1 (which doesn't happen in the manga btw.), don't end it like that, because it becomes utterly predictable.

I was hoping that they used it as a twist, as so many anime do and that they would actually have it happen a bit earlier and in a way they did make it so Shio survived, but I wasn't a fan of how they did it in the slightest.


The writers set this up from episode 1, yet it still felt incredibly contrived.
Why even have them leave early and come back for the ring? That didn't have to be included.
Time is very precious in a 12 episode anime. Especially in one with an anime original ending.

Then there was the elevator ride that somehow took as long as Satou's aunt emptying 3 canisters of petrol. Her pushover brother being able to keep standing after taking a bag of that size to the face.
Judging by its size, it should have been able to kill an adult, yet he somehow survived it.
Satou's brilliant idea to go up in a burning building?
Even if her brother was a threat (which he shouldn't judging from how he was portrayed up until then and how Satou was), there was no way he could stop the flood of people trying to escape the building.
We see Satou caught up in it.
Also, how did the fire spread this fast?
Why were none of the emergency exists working?

All of these things didn't have to be there. They could have just had a character light the 12th floor on fire, while they were still there. But they didn't. They had to make up this incredibly contrived ending for no reason.

What a way to ruin a great anime. This is really the worst symptom anime adaptations have. Not waiting until the source is finished, or opting for more than one season.

Even Claymore and Pandora Hearts were wasted by this.



Just started the manga and I am wondering if the great scene of Satou caressing Shoko's body was anime original or not. If so, then I applaud them, because it was done wonderful.

I may sound like I am hard on this anime and maybe I am, but I was just so disappointed. I don't even know what to rate it, because everything aside from this was great.

Seriously, what a shame. Because I really loved the visuals, directing, sound design and phenomenal voice acting. Seriously, Satou, Shio and her aunt did a wonderful job.


They should have just adapted 2 chapters an episode and end season 1 with Shoko's death. Then have season 2 adapt the rest of the manga. That would also have allowed them to build up the characters a bit more as well.

But I guess it cannot be helped.

ts episode lowkey changed the whole trajectory of my emotions towards shio and satou's relationship. i think, one of the factors that invokes disturbance in the viewers is unrelatability. unrelatability, with the blatant pedophilia. we never knew who to root for amidst the overwhelming affect of character sketches in our minds. everything is depicted so raw and so unfiltered that it feel unholy to fully immerse in the story, until the last episode where there is finally redemption for our blasphemous trope

Wow what an episode, I have a lot to say.

Starting with the explanation Asahi did about why his mother abandoned Shio, what a shitty mother to be honest, like she knew she was a threat to Shio but very deep she still loved her, she should have just abandon her in an orphanage or something like that instead of the streets and she also poisoned her husband, that was a good thing actually. And why Shio just accepted to go with Satou? Probably her mother didn't teach her not talk to strangers and those things.

Shio has a point at defending Satou, it makes sense from her naive and childish point of view.

And Satou did the best thing, she killed herself, she knew everything they did was wrong and that she had no future with that and now Shio is broken and became Satou 2.0.

But why was the teacher arrested? He had nothing to do with the fire so who snitched on him?

I was going to give this show a 6/10 because of the too many issues it has but because it had a satisfactory conclusion I give it a 7/10.

Now with a small review of this series:
I knew about this series since long ago and was trying to avoid it because I've heard it was very disturbing and those things. When I watched the show I was expecting to be about a yandere girl who does everything for the one she loves you know, like a typical yandere and by that I thought the show was going to be kill after kill with police drama and those kind of things, very bloody and gore but ended being psychological with barely action. It wasn't bad but a thing I wasn't expecting completely when I watched it was the age gap that was the thing that made this show disturbing, you remove it and ends being something more normal. As I said there were too many issues, nonsenses and plotholes but I had some fun doing this pseudo analysis of the characters and trying to understand why they do what they do, by that and because the conclusion was satisfactory enough with those creeps being in the place they belong to I give it a 7/10 because it could have been better and it wasted many characters such as Su or the teacher. By this show I discovered I like the psychological theme.
