So which version is the canon ending? Both the manga and anime depicts two separate endings.
In the manga Himeko decides to stay with Chikane in the shrine. Both are seen again years later sitting underneath a tree In the anime, Chikane gets reborn and Himeko finds her again, possibly 1-3 years later. Does the cycle still continue? or end? Since both of them reappear in a different show (Kyoshirou to Towa no Sora), possibly same timeline or different timeline (New lives or same from show)? Currently, both are now married and living together happily. Can someone explain pls
