Thank you very much for posting, I quite enjoyed this storytime, since it was one of my first anime, yet I never read the manga and lost sight of it, after I heared the ending was tragic and thus never went for it.
Generally speaking, I think the endings biggest weakpoint is not wanting to comitt to something, but even that aside, I absolutely agree with the anons pointing out its flaws on the previous arcs, like
>>281514812 and
>>281514880 and the other ones. The open end might have worked better still, had the leadup been better for it, or a better ending could have redeemed them - but who knows.
Overall, I am afraid, Sanka Rea is doomed to be one of those series, where the good parts are really good, but due to a lot of lost potential and wasted time, it never got more popular. I personally would have favored more focus on Chihiro and Reas Love. While I am to much of a happy ending sweettooth to enjoy his tragic sacrifice, it could have worked well, if that had been done.
I guess you just remember fondly, what you liked and headcanon to headcope the details, like with series with similar issues. I wonder if it would benefit from a remake or something like it.
