>but selfish love? That's not what the anime taught Himeko.
Yeah it kinda did actually. Chikane hurt herself and ultimately Himeko immensly by not being selfish enough with her love. Because in a way its self-denial. Himeko definitely came out of this knowing that love has to be asserted and can't be held back.
> she would never sacrifice her life or Chikane's to make that happen because it is self destructive.
Nah. Of course she would. She wouldn't die and leave Chikane behind again, but dying together so her beloved has comfort in her last moments and won't have to suffer alone? Absolutely. Thats love. Not "selfish" or self-destructive. Thats just pure love.
The only difference between anime and manga is that Himeko in the anime resigns herself to Chikane 'having' to sacrifice herself and in the manga she has won the confidence and strength to be by her side. There is literally not a single negative thing about the manga ending. While the anime ending isn't horrible, its both not particularly well constructed and has some headscratching involved how Chikane re-incarnated into the past, but also just doesn't really offer any advantage over the manga version aside from giving closure to Souma's feelings. Which frankly aren't as important as Himeko being able to give comfort to her beloved.
