I really enjoyed this story but the ending was really confusing and i can't see why they had to go that way. there is someone in the comments bellow that theorized what happened in an easier to understand way so if you also don't understand it, scroll down a bit. the fact they called the two places as separate worlds instead of different points of time really threw me off. and also now they are reunited what's going to happen? can the water god become a human? if he does, will it be like before where he just assumes the form of a human, or can he become a real human and grow old with her? i think it would have been a lot better if they had made them actually separate worlds and when the water god passed over he became a normal human without powers, since the other gods said if the water god "dies" (becomes too weak) they'll be reborn completely without memories of their "past life". if he became a human, separated from what makes him a water god, it could be possible for a new water god to be born and maintain balance in the other world. this also brings up another problem. if the water god is now in the girl's world, who will fill the imbalance in the other world now there is no water god there? there's a lot of plot holes in this ending which ruined the experience.
the first thing they didn't address is what happened to that crazy woman? after we were introduced to kurose, she never appeared again. it would have been nice to see what happened to her and it would be even better if she suffered some kind of karma.
the second thing is, the guy with the scar across his face says he'd try to make asahi choose him and we never got a conclusion to that. he literally did nothing about it afterwards, and it would have been nice to see him give up on that idea or something like that.
the third thing i want to mention is more of something that would have been nice than something that was left unanswered, but toyokami having a change of heart. when the water god as a droplet was in the underworld, the other gods were also there at the same time so him helping the water god could have been because of pressure from all the other gods. the fact he wasn't hostile was a sign of change, but it would have been nice if we got something about why he acted the way he did since earlier kurose recalled toyokami kept asking if he was having fun. instead of chaos, maybe he just wanted to have friends or something like that. since gods live for a long time, that would have been nice to see so that toyokami realizes what he was really trying to achieve and not make the same mistake in the future. kurose's compassion for him as they left gave some hope that he's not a straight up bad guy, but they didn't show that he actually was not a bad guy in the end very well.
