This ending was amazing and it didn't feel rushed. I almost cried but I could still hold back the tears. Even if for some reason people aren't satisfied with this ending there is a sequel, a movie to watch that, according to myanimelist and imdb is even better then the series so I'm going to go watch it now. I seriously didn't except this series to be this good!

This ending was so emotional I really didn't expect this series to be this emotional. I would have liked to see Mai and Sakuta finally kiss but they didn't :( but it was still a beautiful ending to a special series.

Recap: After waking up Kaede, Sakuta comes in realization that the old Kaede has come back, and she has regained her memories. However, as memories are gained, memories are lost. The new Kaede has completely disappeared. Sakuta takes Kaede to a hospital, and the doctors all tell him and his father that she is fine. While Sakuta's dad is crying the tears of joy, Sakuta runs away from the hospital to the rain crying. He screams and cries and grieves about the loss of his sister. At that moment of sorrow and sadness, he starts bleeding from his wounds again. And when misery and pain come to haunt him, so does Shoko return to help Sakuta. He sees Shoko under an umbrella waiting for him. Shoko is later found in Sakuta's home, helping him out with his daily chores. While taking the bath, Shoko reads Kaede's diary, and Kaede wrote that she was so thankful to be Sakuta's sister, and that she did so many things before she changed. She wrote that she knew that Sakuta will grieve and regret, so she made a checklist for her and him. This makes Sakuta cry, but he tries not to. However, Shoko ensures that crying will be fine, because it will just show how much Sakuta loved his sister, and how much he cared for her. Later the next day, Shoko is gone and Sakuta returns normal. He calls Mai and tells her the situation, and tells her that he himself is fine. Mai then visits Sakuta, to see a note from Shoko. Mai gets midly upset from the note, and tells Sakuta about how she is going to end her relationship. After, Sakuta figures out that today is Mai's birthday. He quickly catches a bullet train, and immediately goes to Mai. He then finds her, and shares a coat with her on a mountaintop. He apologizes to Mai, and they rebuild their relationship. The scene closes out with Mai pinching the cheeks of Sakuta. After, Sakuta is seen packing his things up with Kaede. Sakuta, like always, asks her what she wants to do. Kaede replies, "I want to go to school".
