I really don't understand why shinigami would have such a negative outlook on death.

I sense a final battle style battle with Izumi.

I think the series will be much worse if Mitsuki doesn't die at the end, cruel as that may sound.

Wahh! I don't want Mitsuki to die either! I hope she lives!

I kinda feel bad for Meroko...I want her to be happy too (as long as she's not with Izumi. Izumi can go die in a hole lol)

I'm a bandwagon whore

I seriously love Meroko. She is the strongest character in this story imo.

Because they're still human at heart. Meroko has gotten used to it but she loves Mitsuki like a little sis so it's hard for her in this case. Takuto refuses to accept it for multiple reasons, the strongest being that he's IN love with Mitsuki....hence Izumi's point: he was never cut out to be a shinigami in the first place. He's too soft-hearted.
Izumi threw away all of his humanity a long time ago. lol

You can't be serious.....that would just ruin everything.

I was serious, from a drama stand point it would be better.

I've watched drama anime and when they DO decide to kill the main character as promised, I really feel terrible afterwards. Maybe some love tragic endings because they're more like reality but I watch anime to escape harsh reality so I'd rather not get my heart torn up when it comes to something I'm trying to enjoy. Also because this is a shoujo series aimed at a younger audience, the odds of such tragedy are zero. Nobody likes making children depressed. XD

But I'm glad you liked the ending. Meroko has turned into a kind and loving soul so I am sure she will find romance again. :)

Such a powerful and positive episode! After all those sad episodes, we are finally getting to see Mitsuki's desire to live.

Meroko just won a special place on my heart after what she said to Izumi and then writing her name alongside Takuto. I am hoping that Mitsuki lives! She has finally found the courage to live her remaining days with her best, it will be so sad if she dies!

5/5! Here hoping for a happy ending!

Great episode, I hope Mitsuki survives at the end. I really liked the scene between Wakouji and Takuto. I gained some respect for Mereko this episode. And despite Izumi being a bad guy I can't help but feel sorry for him.

5/5

Another great episode, Meroko has a much bigger heart than she let's on.

It was an interesting idea to put their own names in the shinigami book.

That's both a good thing and bad thing depending on their actions so they have to be careful.

I feel bad for Izumi too. It looks like the Izumi x Meroko ain't going to be happening even though it seemed great at the beginning.

I really have to hand it to Takuto this episode. I didn't have anything against him, but he never really clicked for me until he wrote his name into the notebook. I can only respect him now, to hell with fate indeed.

I also like how Meroko described love as being gentle and forgiving. Somehow, it really struck a chord with me and I feel like I've lost sight of that kind of feeling for other people.

Really great development for Meroko, especailly when she put her name in the handbook with Takuto.

Great to have such a heartwarming episode after all that dark stuff.

This seemed like a start for a new and final arc. I wonder what happens when a human continues living after their expected lifetime... but if Takuto has never been able to kill anyone, does that mean he already knows what that's like? This has been bugging me for quite some time, I hope it gets cleared up.

The atmosphere of this series got really heavy in the last few episodes and I love that. There have been lots of powerful moments but my tears don't come out... I don't know why. Even so, I think I will give this a positive score because from episode 42 it got really good.
