I like how no one is really a bad guy in this. Haru's feelings are understandable- jealousy isn't a pretty thing, and it was cruel what she said but again, understandable. I think with time she probably would have changed her mind, but this was a time when those emotions were raw and new. I like to think Haru, if there is an afterlife, is supportive of her sister and ex-fiance. Togou never really held feelings for her, if we're being honest. He would have married her out of convenience. And Natsumi is happy with him- she's learning to not be so dependent on another person for her own happiness and moving on from her sister. She obviously cared for her sister a lot, but to the extent where she never even considered romantic relationships because her sister took up her entire life. (I dont think that her feelings were incestuous or anything, but i do think she had an incredibly unhealthy dependency on her sister, and let it consume her life). Honestly, people are saying their relationship is a betrayal to Haru, but I don't think Haru would have been any happier had she lived. Togou didn't love her, and whilst he would have treated her well, it's clear she wanted romance and she would tell his feelings were ingenuine. I'm honestly happy for these characters, and I hope their lives go well!

Ahhhhsjdjsjdj. I'm so sad about Minoru dying at the end like noooo it's not fair ;-; And like my homie MAD smart cause it took him like??? A few hours at most to come up with the plan. My man had the rules explained to him and literally already figured out how to get FILTHY FUCKING RICH BABEY in less then like... a day. I dont /think/ he spent the 2 years planning bc he had no knowledge/memory of the death note??? He probably left himself a memo to make sure he got the yotsuba account but other then that? Nothing! This dude is crazy smart, I almost daresay the smartest out of everyone so far? I can't stop gawking he came up with this plan in LESS THEN A DAY. (I think i might have to reread tho ack-).
It's sad that he couldn't get more time to develop but A) this oneshot is wonderful enough as it is and B) the fact that he doesn't have any motivation to kill makes it hard to continue his story since he got everything he wanted (except...yknow...the dying young part-)
This guy would have absolutely wiped the floor with them all in the main series, thank goodness he's a zoomer, doesn't want to kill anyone, and lives in an age where technology makes almost everything impossible to hide. Even Near, supposedly the "smartest" (or, ok, second smartest if L hadn't died) said it was the first time he'd been beaten since becoming L (maybe the first time ever-!). I like how amused and even impressed Near was at this, I'd have loved to see him and Minoru interact. They both have different motivations, sure, but actually... they're really similar. They're kinda selfish, smart, sly, playful, and willing to trick others or make sacrifices for the sake of getting their own way- and I love it! They both don't want to kill either, recognising it as pointless and wasteful. Also... their methods are a lot more fun ;) (I really really wanted to see them meet- how entertaining would it be if they somehow became friends? I doubt they'd be enemies.)
Speaking of Near I'm really out here becoming a full on SIMP for this boy like (づ￣ ³￣)づ he's so pretty and the long hair akdjsjdkssj I'm... im w e a k-
I'm not a fan of the eyebags though! Look after yourself child! Get that sleep! The last L died young, and I don't want to see this one follow in his footsteps (granted... L's premature death was uh- special circumstances, but my point still stands!)
