Unblooming Sakura

I am so confused

So on the one hand that was actually kind of confusing.

On the other hand I REALLY don't care.

Feels like this should be tagged as shota.

For a moment there I thought this was going to turn real dark...haha.

Page 9, that look, I've seen a similar look in Groove Tube (Kemono), but I still like it.

Nice hentai memory formed.

*sighs* Sequel or we riot! *throws TWO chairs*

"If Souki-kun were to die now, I wouldn't have to be alone again"? While that is true...I'm sure there's another way!
That ending though! Hah, so the cat was the tree spirit all along, and decided to be a wingman this one time as thanks for watching over the tree.
Hmm, so she was alive the entire time, and the reality is that she just moved away? Since the version of Hisa we see in this release is a wraith...So, maybe it's kinda separate from her real self, like a manifestation of her regret/feelings over not ever being able to convey that she liked him?
Certainly a little confusing, but the only interpretation that kind of makes sense to me is that since the cat can't 'revive' her because she's...well, still alive, instead of taking away the wraith's memories, he just transferred it to her real self or something like that? And then the guy moves in next to her by that ending, and we get a happy Vanilla ending?

Takashi has an interesting jugling act going from assault to sweet vanilla like this, from couples banter to grupal rape. And all with quite the quality art.... SO I DEMAND A FREAKING BOOK!

Hmm, this could be two things in my opinion:

1) The tree spirit states she isn't dead. I'm gonna guess she wasn't dead at all, but just not herself. The boy acts like she is an old friend when he sees her, almost like he hasn't seen her in some time, and this shocks her, cause she thinks she's dead and a ghost and shouldn't be able to see her. She stopped coming to play at the tree for an unstated reason, as she says, "does it matter?" She loved the boy but saw him getting older and moving forward and in her eyes, she became invisible to him. Only by accepting her feelings could she "move on" and get her wish to be with him.


OR

2) It actually was supernatural, as the tree spirit says "Your name is Katagiri Hisa and you became a Wraith.. unable to move on until you conveyed your feelings." A Wraith, by definition is "a ghost or ghostlike image of someone, especially one seen shortly before or after their death." The tree spirit then says "This is my thanks, for always watching over this place, even though my tree can longer bloom." Then in the final page we see flower petals at her feet as she sits on the bed, almost like she was the last bloom, and is informed that her "new" neighbors have moved in next door, which can only be the boy she loves as he states he is moving.


idk.. I'll be honest, I haven't thought this hard about a hentai like.. ever. In the end, we may never know. Art was great and the characters were really good. Story intrigues me, so 10/10!

Uh, ... unless this is based roughly on some popular or well-known myth or legend in Japan regarding ghosts, something seemed to go missing in the ending of this story (it's not always strictly about the 'naughty bits').

Nonetheless, it was cute enough to get the job done.

That was a great read, cute and sweet all around. That ending tho, a wraith of her past feelings maybe?
