Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu (2023)

When you think about all of the clues we are given about Yuma, the ending doesn't seem so open ended, after all. Throughout the series we are given a glimpse of his abilities. Bringing on a rain storm. Sending lightening to strike his adversary's water supply. Suspending a bottle in mid air. Not dying after taking a euthanasia pill (right there we are shown that he can perform the impossible). And...Yuma's happy go lucky parting with Ritsu and Masumi, promising that he will see them again. The bond that developed between Meguru and Yuma, gave Yuma a future to look forward to. He found his dead idol in her look alike sibling....almost as though she were resurrected from the dead. The series followed the manga almost exactly. Happy ending in the manga. Yuma sent the meteor away.

There is a strong message to this series (and manga). When our own individual world is collapsing around us...when we feel as though there is no longer a reason to live...the entire world could end for all we care. But then...when our lives get back on track...and things look hopeful again...we want the world to go on. And...so it was...with Yuma.

Ritsu and Masumi also had no hope for living....until they reunited and rekindled their love. Ritsu says in the last episode that there was no reason for him to live any longer...but when he found Masumi again, the desire to live was renewed.

This is a lesson for all of us....about despair...and the renewal of hope.

The end of the world can even change my taste in man?!

In a normal situation I would have hated Ritsu so much that I could not have enjoyed the drama. But with this set-up, I have to say, while I still don't really agree with how it turned out, it makes sense! They have found a reason to live, regardless of the end of the world, now it's up to them to make this reason flourish


Overall:
The HISTORY is super interesting! Especially the little details about the characters that are revealed in each episode. And Yuuma ... I won't say anything because it is a spoiler but I loved Yuuma's part in this story, I found him strange, magical but kind of lovely

The CAST was not bad at all! I read the manga before watching the drama and I think their interpretation was quite good.

I loved the MUSIC, especially the last song! I think the music reflected the melancholy but bright world they lived in.

A little note, I didn't like masumi's comment about meguru's clothes, but it's a very small scene and he kind of redeemed himself later on

In general I recommend it! It's not the usual highschool drama, some of the themes can be a bit heavy but the execution of the plot was done well in my opinion and FOUND FAMILY VIBES!! If you like this theme you must watch it✨
