Well, we finally got the beach episode—a must-have in a 12-episode anime.This episode is more about Chiaki, her death, and her past, and we also learned that anyone can receive a Shigofumi, even Chiaki herself.It's crazy to think that she's already been dead for 50 years! I didn't think she had been in the afterlife for so long.An episode that doesn't advance the main plot, but just as exciting as the rest, at least for me.

Episode 9 offers a poignant side-story. Scenic, vibrant animation and a serene, nostalgic soundtrack frame a tender journey into Chiaki's past. Soft, humorous banter with Matoma adds charming comedy, while reflective character development builds to a bittersweet plot twist.
