Huh, didn't see that coming.

Ah, TWGOK...love the ending, sad that there's nothing about the anime continuing or getting an english release of the manga.

spoiler[Chihiro] did. Some aren't happy with that outcome, but it's the one that made the most sense.


it doesn't make sense. But i'm only based on the anime.

Maybe it will be like the movie "Speed", except the bomb is on a train and the only way to stop the train is to make a girl with an evil spirit hiding in them fall in love with him - but with so many girls on the train, he'll have to find out which one is harbouring the spirit before the train goes boom!

It probably won't be that at all, but it would be cool.

When I read the headline, my first thought too was 'Fire Engines!" Laughing

But alas... Welp, at least now they still have another idea in storage to make another spin-off from.

And yes, concerning the main manga, I agree, the best girl won, hands down... Cool

I could see this being adapted into an OAV series.

Not really. All the characters are named after railway stations, if I recall.

I've only seen the anime, and I'm actually very happy with her winning. Laughing

The only girl that makes "sense" would've been spoiler[Yokkyun], that said, I still think it should've been spoiler[Tenri].

Laughing That would've been hilarious. On spoiler[Tenri], would've been a nice enough end. Personally, as I only know where the characters left off in the anime, the ending seems like one where the 2 characters would've grown out of what was holding both of them back from have real relationships.
