The better comparison is that her ability is literally the one granted by the Spice to Mau'dib/Navigators/Leto II from Dune.

Hah, drat, I knew the whole 'seeing all the alternate futures and picking the best one' thing sounds familiar.

At this point, I am reminded of the two-slit experiment performed in introductory quantum physics classes in college. Read the article or watch the film to brush up! The point is that, even if you fire one photon at a time through the slits, they will still produce an interference pattern. This implies that somehow a single particle going through the slits splits up, turns into a wave, and interferes with itself.

My point here is that perhaps a similar thing is happening here. Perhaps the predestined outcome -- Yukari's death -- is the interference pattern of the light through the slits. No matter how Gaku approaches the problem, no matter which path she takes, the end result is that she is the one interfering with herself, preventing her from saving Yukari. Perhaps she is her own enemy here, and Jaunt is an organization that only sprang up as a result of her own actions.


I this this was pretty much what she was considering just before an even more psycho Gaku iteration put a bullet in her brain.

She's been to to hundreds and thousands of parallel worlds and in not one did Yukari not die, as though it's some sort of universal constant. Like there's a universe that's entirely made out of custard and jelly babies and 'humans' are some sort of starfish and it'll still contrive to have her die somehow.

Can someone who has finished the series just like PM me a yes or no as to whether it has a happy ending or not, I can't take it any more.

Read the translated chapters this morning, from what I can remember the manga sticks pretty close to the novel version, though the novel seems a bit more yuri-tastic but that could just be because it's written from Gaku's perspective. Or it's been a while since I read the early manga chapters.

It's been so long since Yukari was a character rather than an ideal I'd completely forgotten what she was like.

I knew this was coming, Yukari gonna be all 'maybe we should just be friends' after Gaku was such a nice guy to her...

Gaku being a transdimensional stalker was part of the yuri overtones.

Someone uploaded a translated chapter 18 to Kissmanga, either the translation was kind of off or my brain was just refusing to process the ending.

Please finish the last chapter, the only translation I've seen of it was much less readable than the ones you've done previously.

Does anyone still have the link to the guy who was translating the LN and has it been updated recently?

The first two pages already make more sense than the lovely translation I read.
