Full-time comic artist

Hibiki Higashino made his decision and quickly drew the storyboard in a week.

As for the original artwork, we'll have to wait until the end of "Millennium Actress".

June 21st marked the end of the anime series "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day".

Hibiki Higashino made time specifically to watch this scene.

There was also a little girl next to me, Akane Nakajima from next door.

Her mother wasn't home again today.

Higashino found it strange that Mrs. Nakajima's working hours were irregular and usually on weekends; he wondered what she did.

Higashino Hibiki had no intention of prying into other people's privacy.

Under Akane Nakajima's excited gaze, "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" began.

To help Mema attain Buddhahood, Jinta and his friends fulfilled Mema's wish by hiring someone to make fireworks.

With each of the five people harboring their own selfish desires, the fireworks soared into the sky, but the buds did not disappear.

Chapter 226 You call this healing?

Akane Nakajima swayed excitedly from side to side; she could finally see the ending.

She and her friends had previously made a pact to watch "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day." However, when Hibiki Higashino recommended the film to her, he said, "This is a heartwarming story." This made her friends feel like they had been tricked. They thought it was so emotionally moving that it made them cry, so why did he say it was heartwarming?

So no one came to keep her company anymore.

“Whenever the song plays, I feel like crying, but Teacher Tori Akino clearly tells me that this is a healing story. In the end, it will definitely be a happy ending.”

The little girl innocently tilted her head back.

"right?"

Higashino Hibiki was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes...is that right..."

"Hmph hmph hmph." Having received a clear answer, Akane Nakajima hummed a tune, happily shaking her chubby legs, full of anticipation.

Her friends will call and apologize to her.

……

The buds did not disappear.

Is her wish to see fireworks?

The five people gathered together and began to reflect.

The wish itself was not wrong; the mistake lay with those individuals.

When it came to helping Yama achieve Buddhahood, they didn't consider Yama's well-being; they were only thinking about their own selfish motives.

Anjou Naruko began her confession.

She likes Jinta Yadomi and doesn't want to see him constantly thinking about Mei.

She wanted Mei to attain Buddhahood, not to fulfill Mei's wish, but only for her own sake.

The same goes for Matsuyuki Collection.

Even in high school, he still couldn't let go of his love for Ya.

Therefore, he didn't want only Jinta Yadomi to be able to see Meima, so that Meima would belong only to Jinta.

Matsuyuki-shu harbored the idea of ​​simply letting Mema attain Buddhahood, and that was it.

As several people confided in her, Yama's body gradually became transparent.

Akane Nakajima glanced at Hibiki Higashino with concern, but seeing that he was watching TV intently, she continued watching as well.

Tsurumi Chiriko also has something on her mind.

She likes the Songxue Collection.

Chiriko Tsurumi's idea was to help Mema attain Buddhahood and then get Jinta and Naruko Anjou together, so that she could become a substitute for Atsushi Matsuyuki's love.

As for Hisakawa Tetsudou, he has always been a very cheerful person and is most enthusiastic about helping Meima become a Buddha.

He strengthened his body and became a brave man because he witnessed Yama drowning.

He was too scared to provide timely assistance.

Therefore, Hisakawa Tetsudou felt a strong sense of guilt and wanted to atone for his sins.

"I can't forget how Meijian walked further and further away from me, heading into the distance!"

His heart was selfish too.

Jinta Yakumi felt the same way; he didn't want Mei to become a Buddha and wanted to keep her by his side.

At this moment, everyone's emotions reached a breaking point, and they all cried out the shadows in their hearts.

They vented their pain, tears streaming down their faces.

The long-suppressed burden has been lifted, and after confronting one's own inner self, reconciliation with others is achieved.

Jinta Yakumi said with relief: "I was vaguely happy that only I could see Mei. But Mei didn't think that way. She wanted to talk not only to me, but also to everyone. So she wanted to become a Buddha and then be reincarnated."

Although Mei loves Jinta, she also loves everyone in the team equally, like a blooming white flower.

Her purity made others realize their own selfishness even more.

Childhood friends reconciled and resolved their differences.

The "Super Peace Busters" have reunited.

At this point, an advertisement is inserted.

Akane Nakajima breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Mirai Toriakino had said, this was a healing story, a journey from division to healing.

With the appearance of the buds, the five people broke down the barriers between their hearts and finally came close to each other again.

The story became increasingly cheerful, filled with lightheartedness and laughter, a far cry from the previous oppressive and sorrowful atmosphere.

"Oh!"

Akane Nakajima clenched her fist!

She wanted to make her friends feel guilty.

……

Akane Nakajima was full of confidence, but the last ten minutes of the "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" episode brought her to tears, leaving her heartbroken and unable to control herself.

The snot fell into my mouth; it was salty, oh, just not as salty as tears.

But she didn't care about that anymore; her heart was pounding, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was as if she was trying to cry out all her emotions; her cries were so heart-wrenching.

She saw that Tori Akino was timid and hesitant, unsure of how to comfort herself.

She saw Akemi Akemi covering her eyes and crying.

She saw Mr. Omori, who was still somewhat unfamiliar with her, shed tears that fell to the ground.

He saw the unnamed assistant staring blankly at the television.

Ya's wish came true; her soul became transparent.

Jinta Yadomi could no longer see her.

"This...this is hide-and-seek."

He could still hear the sounds between the buds.

In this moment of collapse, Jinta Yadomi, with a bewildered and lost heart, begins to play hide-and-seek.

He ran into the forest and began to scream with all his might.

"Between the buds! Between the buds!"

"It's not ready yet..." Yajian still had something to say to them.

The calls echoed through the forest, but no buds appeared until dawn.

Perhaps Yama has already attained Buddhahood. The thought of this filled their hearts with the pain of not being able to part ways.

At that moment, finally on the ground, they saw the letter between the buds, containing the words they had always wanted to say.

"I really like Tsuruko, who is very gentle."

"I really admire Yukiharu's tireless dedication."

"I really like the fun and interesting Bobo."

"I really like Anming, who is serious and reliable."

“I really like Jinta. My liking for Jinta is the kind of liking that makes me want to marry you and be your bride.”

Tears streamed down her face as she felt a deep longing for the budding flower.

The game of hide-and-seek isn't over yet, how can we let the buds disappear?

They began to shout.

"Are you hidden well?!"

"Are you hidden well?!"

Their voices grew hoarse from shouting, but no one stopped.

Until they heard a voice say, "Hidden well."

The trembling voice made the audience's hearts tremble as well.

Finally, Matsuyuki and the others saw Yama.

She sat under the tree, her expression serene.

When she stood up, the morning light shone through her chest.

She's going to disappear.

In the final moments, this game of hide-and-seek was coming to an end.
