I just finished and in 300 Rin talks to Jun he mentions his connection to the island. The TL gives me the impression that he had to live there as he was shunned from his parents/ religion as blood transfusions and suicide were frowned upon so he was dead to them considering he did both. But that's what prompts my question.

Kafuka's vessels/incarnations all did the same as pointed out in the previous chapters they also mention blood when they explain that memories are stored all throughout the body.

But if this is true why was he able to graduate before the girls?

He was originally saying "her" instead of "you" so I edited it but I guess it looks good enough

Hello, everyone! SZS has been one of my favorite series since I was a teen and I'm finally binge watching and binge reading all of it.

Of course I had to read the final chapters. Multiple times because they're a doozy. I watched some YouTube videos saying that kumeta planned 5 endings for the series, but I can't find this information anywhere. To me, the final chapters seem to take place one after another.

However, the final chapter is titled "As one possibility". Does that mean the true final chapter is the previous one and then kumeta presented one possible scenario of what happened after?

So, are there more that we don't know of? 👀 The weird horror harem cult is really on point with the tone of the series, but my poor hearth that loves romantic and wholesome/tragic stuff wonders if a finale where Nozomu and An's wedding takes place in the afterlife. Or any finale not involving a weird horror harem cult, even if everyone is technically happy in that scenario. Well, except the reporter.

I hope this post made sense. And I hope to see a fourth season of the anime one day. 🫡

So I finished SZS Manga today and there are something that I can't understand. Some parts literally makes 0 sense to me.

1- Why did they forget Kafuka? Like, everything was fine and one day, they just forgot. Is it about the graduation? Like, did spirits took away all memories about Kafuka away?

2- Who did we watch? There were 2 souls in their body, a soul that wanted to die and a soul that wanted to live. All these episodes and chapters, they acted almost the same so how do we know if it was their original soul or the spirit?

3- Are the girls okay with being haunted? This question is highly related to 2nd question, what's happening in their bodies and minds? I think they are getting well and spirits chose people with similar personalities but even in that case it's still weird, like are they switching souls or controlling the body together? (I know it's almost the same question with 2)

4- The most important question: What the hell just happened in chapter 301? I thought spirits were graduated and girls were not spirit proxies anymore. They were finally normal people except sometimes getting haunted by Kafuka. But than Chiri and girls came to island and asked for a posthumous wedding?! ("You need to give us a posthumous wedding") Were they joking about still being haunted or was it serious? If it's serious, then what was all these 300 chapters of posthumous school thing? If it's a joke then it should be more obvious or am I missing something?

5- If they are still haunted, then again, what happened to memories about Kafuka?

Not a question: Even if I think there were no girls soul left in their bodies and they were only these spirits, it still makes no sense because Chia sensei said after organ transfers, girls wanted to live due to positive genes of Kafuka. Also they still had memories from that girls pasts so I'm pretty sure these girls souls are still there. If what chiri said in chapter 301 is just a joke, then it's more understandable.

Conclusion: I think the manga ending was too rushed and had serious plot holes, I see what mangaka wanted to do and it's amazing. Especially in chapter 301, mangaka just wanted to marry girls with sensei and justified it with Kafuka, it was expected but was it girls that wanted to marry sensei or spirits? (Question 4/3/2 again)

I would really want to see things explained better, had a potential to become the greatest manga of all times but wasted. Would love to see if someone can answer these questions, idc if it takes a few months or years just please answer.

I'm in despair, this rushed finale has left me in despair!

Just finished the anime and manga, enjoyed it so much but i don't see anyone actively discussing it anymore :(

so i think i mostly understood the stuff with kafuka but im still confused on who were the other girls? and what was the final island in ch 30X

Hi, years ago i watched a MAD of ringo mogire beam, it was an original animation and i cant remember much but kafuka making nozomu fall of a building while he was chasing her and after he try to grab her while he is bleeding she freak out a lot.
I really need to find it am losing my mind trying to find it pls :c

Kafuka mentions that Chiri's parents were initially thinking of calling her Mirakuru. The gag theme was about arriving at a fork in the road and taking a different direction than the initial 2 ideas.

Hey all! I'm a big fan of Shaft, loved Joshiraku and Kakushigoto, so when I discovered this show it seemed right up my alley with my exact sense of humor. However, I've learned that although the manga has already ended, the anime only adapts a part of it.

My question is: does the anime more or less faithfully adapt the manga without skipping anything, and if so, where should I pick up the manga after finishing the anime?

Thanks in advance!

i watched episode four of Zoku Sayonara zetsubou Sensei and in it i heard the name Manabe being mentioned? who is this person? Komori was saying, "Though i can't replace Manabe"

made this video a month ago but I was thinking of fixing it now that I've seen more than one season lol, obviously Chiri should have been Crazy Ass, but im not sure who to make truck freak, or if I should do a change with друг
