Also the ending didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me? Let’s just say I’d have written it very differently.
Spoiler
Okay, no, let’s dissect it. Option 1: Death. This feels like an obvious conclusion to me. Remina (the girl) could have died at the hands of the mob that hunted her, in the all-encompassing cataclysm of the Earth being consumed, or even by suicide. Yes, she only has one year to live in the weird space bunker thing so in a sense her death is imminent, but it doesn’t have that same “destruction” feel to it that was the theme of the story. Option 2: As I said before, it would have been great to see her assert herself. The finale easily could have revolved around a triumphant moment in which she makes a stand and reclaims her personhood. Option 3: Yes, this book explores the horror of being despised and hunted, but there’s also the more subtle horror of being known. Of being perceived. What if Remina (the planet) destroyed the world and turned its gaze upon Remina (the girl), the sole survivor, only to leave and continue its rampage elsewhere in the galaxy? Remina Oguro would be left utterly alone, experiencing a horror that’s the complete inverse of the horror she was subjected to before.All in all, I kinda liked Remina. At the very least, I appreciate the effort. The artwork was great. The writing could have been better. It’s a shame the execution was a little lacking because Ito was working with some really interesting ideas. Three stars. Not quite three and a half.
