I think he is happy. Maybe not exactly like we wanted, but he make his own way and his choice. I can't judge him because is not exactly a bad life, is just i like to see someday Mishima and Kirino together sharing again and saying "This is my life and i never regret". Sadly, in real life, a lot of gays and trasgender people don't have so much lucky.
Yeah I agree, I hope he's really happy with the choices he decided to make. I just think the sad part is how he pushed down a part of himself. I'm sure he had his reasons. I just want the characters to be happy and if they're happy that's all that matters (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Well, when i read the raws i feel very sad and happy at the same time. But is real life, a happy and perfect ending is unreal. Even for you and me. The "Xanadu" doesn't exist. I like to think that happiness is something we choose, and i think Kirino choose to be happy, even in bad times (not exactly bad?) At least his mother accepted him in some way and i think is very simbolic the fact that we see his daughter too. Even if not ideal, the ending was satisfactory for me because i never feel like Kirino o Mishima were pushed or forced, the goodbye feels very natural and nostalgic. If he do the right o bad choice, i think that is open to us. If he feels sad because he can't be true to himself, probably. But i lke to think that the god times are more and that he now have a beautiful family, something that he never have in the past and that is worth it.
"This is my life. Until now, I lived caring too much about what others think. What people think of when they see me, killing a part of myself so that I won’t be hated by others… I hated how I could only be envious of people who could live their life freely… The neighbor living just a few meters away from me recently died. No matter how much hard work you put in, there will be a time where we all have to die. If I were to die now… What would I have lived for? I don’t know when my life will end, but… I want to be able live on my own terms and when my time is up, I want to be able to say “It’s been a good life”, and smile…"
Don't live for others but yourself. You are in control of your own life and anyone who can't accept your decisions shouldn't be in your life. If they truly loved you, they would understand and accept your position, no matter how difficult. I hope that Kirino was truly happy at the last chapter. I know I'm reading way to into this but, knowing that this kind of thing happens in real life is what depresses me the most.
