Seventh: "Where else on earth do so many people enjoy their descent into destruction?" Tokyo, or CLAMP stories?
Eighth: I love Seishirou being all, "I gave myself a year to love you... BUT I DON'T HAHAHA." Riiight. Riiiiight.
Ninth: It ends ambiguously (not counting X) which is nice.
Just the shot of Subaru walking through Tokyo. Everything's going to be eternal shit for Subaru, basically.

Actually, I take back the "clearly disappear" part, because the last page with Subaru and the buildings has a gazillion cherry blossoms scattering in the wind. Representative of Seishirou's impact on Subaru's psyche? Or a sign that Seishirou is still lurking, watching?

Tenth: I'm still not sure why Hokuto sacrificing herself means Seishirou doesn't have to kill Subaru, but I GUESS I can see the logic there? Subaru's hands don't seem to be tagged at the end, but who knows. But THAT RIGHT THERE shows Seishirou's not completely gung-ho to kill Subaru.
He does clearly disappear after that though. So mysterious, Seishirou. You can finish TB wondering if he never showed up again.

Fifth: Other than the smoking, Subaru is pretty much the same, only gloomier! His way of dealing with the mother is still the same as it would've been at the start of the series.
Sixth: I love ending with the ghost girl saying, "People who do bad things are just lonely." Definitely not true, but in terms of the story it manages to tie all the individual stories together.

Second: Best part of this volume: Subaru thinking about Seishirou holding dead and bloody Hokuto in his arms... and Subaru GRINS about it. Then he catches himself and frowns, but wow. Wowwwww.
Third: I'm sad we don't find out what happens to the boy with the kidney problem, since he was such a crucial part of volumes 5/6.
Fourth: Always love Subaru smoking. This is what I'm here for.

I AM SO SAD AND YET...
First off: This is the first time I have been actually thrilled with this series. I think the last time I read this I was around nineteen? It was summer, I think? Anyway, I was always disinterested in the paranormal stories and all about Subaru and Seishirou and the deal, so I found the first few volumes boring and didn't care until 4/5. THIS TIME, though, I loved it pretty much entirely.
