not one person can be shocked at the idea that the 151 people on the boat would rather try and go back to normalcy than save the rest of humanity the trouble of dealing with the hantavirus strain they're dealing with
id want to do the same, but that wont prevent the shame
more csm stuff now that ive had a day to think, if you haven't read the manga to 232, don't read below this
-----
saw a theory that the devil that ate denji is the dream devil
crescent moon shaped head, lots of 'dreaming' allegories, and a weirdly cut send off for the manga
-denji to exploit the fact that denji communicates with pochita through 'dreams'
it would make a lot of sense thinking about it that way because pochita admits that they got eaten by a devil
so how would he eat himself conceptually if they had been eaten by someone else?
he's still clearly a devil or fiend of some kind
and then theres asa
he remembers something about asa, saves her from killing bucky (disney man), and gets deja vu when it comes to csm
to put it simply, i liked the ending, and if it doesn't end that would work too
okay idk if people are reading csm with their eyes closed, but i thought the 'end' (if it even is an end chapter because pt1 had 'The End!' on it too)
regardless- I think it's actually a good ending
i will stand by the fact that it's good- it shows us a lot abt the world of csm
(-or doesn't interest nayuta in anyway + no makima to brainwash him as well, and himeno doesn't interest nayuta at all)
we also see power giving denji blood, his tuberculosis doesn't impact him past that, he smells 'like a dog,' and heals from the blood?????
