SPOILERS IN THIS COMMENT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN"T READ THE ENDING


I despised the ending, not because I can't handle tragic endings but because it felt like a complete reversal, betrayal even, of the messages and themes the series had been consistently projecting throughout. We had book after book telling us quite insistently that we are involved with people and need to consider their feelings and that we should take care of ourselves for that reason, and because we are valuable even if we can't see it, all this "no man is an island" stuff, and then suddenly BAM Watanuki decides to totally ignore Yuko's last wish (which it was shown that he wanted to grant her, before knowing it): that he live on in happiness with his friends. Instead, he decides to live on in misery forever while everyone who loved him aged and died while watching him be miserable, waiting forever for Yuko to come back, which she won't. Idk, maybe it was just CLAMP messing with us, but it seemed realllly out of tone with the rest of the series :/

Huh? I still think Dômeki was a girl, and he and watanuki had children, and the great-grandson coming to visit was actually both their great-grandson, so he HAD his life, and his happiness, but just decided he wanted to wait for yuko. Haha, crack, much, Anon?
where does it say he was miserable? Someone has to run the shop, after all.

He's constantly shown sighing and looking infinitely depressed and moping about Yuko; the last scene is him string up at the sky saying "Yuko-san..." The reason for the egg is so he can forget her and move forward in his life, because she's not coming back, but he's choosing to live his life forever pining over her loss, which is made very clear, and it's commented on a few times that he isn't happy.

1000x this. Especially since it seemed like Watanuki finally had his life together and then Wham! Yuuko dies and everything he's learned goes down the drain.

Exactly! Chapter after chapter about how important it is to have friends and be connected to the world around you, and then in the end Doumeki dies offscreen, as does everyone else, and Watanuki doesn't care. The story goes from "only connect" to "hikikomori lifestyle yay!"
