In the end this conflict is resolved, however, and I found the final scene with Anaru and Jinta heartwarming. She's my bias on the show. So basically, (I might be misremembering because I just watched a similar anime) but Jintan’s mother made Menma promise that she would still make Jintan cry after she died.

But that’s my opinion of course. We see Jinta playing games in his room, and he overhears a conversation by a boy and a girl who are walking outside.

This is wonderfully well-analysed… especially the relation between Yukiatsu and Tsruko, However, I do believe that while there is some truth in the fact that Jinta might want a platonic relationship, if one takes into context the fact that they are aware that theirs is a love where they want to be married, it is a possibility that since he has been a hikikomori they have remained somewhat at the same level of personal maturity.
I like the ending scene of these two characters, because that scene is free for interpretation.

I really like how Jintan, Yukiatsu, Poppo and Anaru look in this movie, better than in the series (Tsuruko looks better than at the end of the anime and worst than at the beginning because long hair is better than short hair 95% of the time) I immensely enjoyed this anime, and I can’t help but slightly analyze all the character relationships, because each and every character is bound to another in a unique way. Anyway, at the secret base, Poppo, Jinta and Menma are waiting the others to start the party. A minor nitpick though: It wasn't just Anaru's fault.

was worried that he'd get away and we'd have several more eps of nonsense...at least things will develop quick now.
Yukiatsu is completely infatuated with Menma, still now. She really did rise in my list as well, catching Yukiatsu like this was dead on right desicion. When Poppo gets impatient and goes to the door to look for the others, Tsuruko, Yukiatsu and Anaru come by, bringing food. I think this scene can be interpreted in two ways. I thought this to be a rather awkward relationship. I loved how Anjou grabbed in the spoiler However, later on we get to know that Tsuruko has feelings for Yukiatsu, and she feels envious of Anaru and Menma. P.S. As for Menma, we are shown that she still acts as if she is a child, even though she looks older. She is one of those typical characters [you] hate initially but end up liking after [you] figure her out. As usual, I have a certain affinity for arrogant, aloof, and sophisticated/intelligent female characters. He can’t stand the fact that only Jinta can see Menma, and that’s mainly because he realizes that Jinta liked Menma, and he’s afraid that Menma might love Jinta as well. I'm sure, just like the others, there's much about her character that has yet to be revealed, but as of now I find her very cold. Tsuruko was a quiet and observant child. Even though she is so close to him (she even knows his exact height and weight), she cannot be together with him, because Yukiatsu already likes Menma and Anaru. It finds its roots in one of the flashbacks that are often shown during the anime. episode, chapter, game, etc. Throughout the whole series, Poppo really wanted to see Menma or at least be able to talk to her.
Maybe Jinta might have wanted a relationship like that, where the two lovers can talk freely about anything they want.
He could have just gone on with his life and found another girl, but instead he still loves Menma, and he can’t forget about her. Yukiatsu stands up and tells her that he needs her to do something she can do only. The six friends are sitting in their secret base, and all of a sudden Jinta is asked by Anaru if he loves Menma. Also, Tsuruko found out about Yukiatsu and Anaru's plan, and since she was jealous of them, Tsuruko told Menma that they'd told Jintan to come. Edit: thanks for the answers, now I finally found Menma! She's elevated to one of the best characters of the year after tonight. Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. Anime: AnoHana Or maybe he wants to take revenge on Jinta in a way, because he knows that Anaru loves Jinta, and by saying that they are kindred spirits (they both had to deal with unrequited love, Yukiatsu for Menma and Anaru for Jinta) he wants to show Jinta that he after all can get love, while Jinta can’t (or so he believes). Really liked how she called out to him so he would come out of the hiding.
Anaru knew he’d get embarrassed and run away, but didn’t expect everyone to chase after. Instead Yukiatsu comes to her and asks her to go out. I wouldn't say Tsuruko loves Yukiatsu just yet, but she definitely cares about him a great deal. Love her.
I might be over-analyzing, but I think there are some points of view that are interesting enough to at least consider and take a look at.
