Have you heard of Fermat's principle?
Just to further boggle your minds, here's some Qualia the Purple-related news happening in real life:

Scientists show future events decide what happens in the past

That's right, Australian scientists have come to the same conclusion that Gaku came to during her introspection on the Anthropic Principle: the rules of the present are decided by events in the future that retroactively affected the past.

And, as Tenjou was postulating in her infodump at the beginning of the manga, they have proven that "reality does not exist if you are not looking at it.”

Mad world though, innit?

This is one of those series that is great, but would make for an amazing slice of life show.

I would love a 4koma version of this.

I think what makes this series great is that it starts off looking like it's going to be just that, with a goofy twist, and then suddenly Quantum God.

Yayyy I finished this manga! Two years after I started reading. So you know, this is your typical post where I thank the two goons translators.

About the end


The letter would imply she dies at some point. Maybe in this "final" universe at some much later point than before. In any case, we can also consider Yukari's argument in the second-to-last part, where she says she should save herself, with her own strength.
We could interpret that together the final chapter as having a different, more positive timeline from all the other ones because Gaku focused on being a good friend, and assuring Alice and Tenjou would also friends of Yukari (which it was what Yukari wanted of Gaku from her own words, just a friend). We can imagine that gave strength to Yukari and handled better the problems that the world's threw at her.
You know what, It reminded a bit to the Witcher 3 endings!


edit: appropriate article I was reading the other day...

It's a long story
I just came across this comic: http://brainchip.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/

A guy gets a chip in his head that let's him connect to versions of himself in other universes. It starts off kind of silly but goes through a lot of the same beats as Qualia. If you can get past the primitive art style I think people here would dig it.
