You called?

Ok quick explanation of the last episode and how it ties into the manga series;
The important points:

- Shiina-chan says " You're Hiro-chan aren't you" to the Oni (Demon) dragonet in front of her teacher's, Mizushima (the guy in her class that fancies her, but has decided instead to protect Hiro) and in the manga she is also overheard by some police officers who are on the scene trying to deal with the situation.

- Hiro-chan sends her Oni dragonet to Motiki airfield to track down Shiina's dad.

- She then leaves with Hoshimaru to confront Hiro-chan at her home.

- The police figure out that "Hiro-chan" is "Kaizuka Hiroko", the only other missing from the school, worried about her safety and also concerned by what Shiina said they too head to her house.

- Shiina arrives at Hiro's house and confronts her. After not being able to convince Shiina to join her in her murderous rampage Hiro-chan shows Shiina the scene at Motoki airfield that the TV crews are covering. Hiro-chan is using her dragonet to harm Shiina's dad and this puts Shiina in an impossible situation do nothing and watch her dad die or harm her friend and save her dad. Shiina flips out and starts to strangle Hiro-chan.

- Mizushima is concerned by what both "Oni's" victims and Shiina said implicating Hiro and her strange behaviour the previous night. He decides to call her to check that she is ok.

- Shiina is distracted by Hiro's phone ringing and is brought back to her senses, she finds she cannot do it and lets go of Hiro's neck.

- The police turn up at Hiro's house intent on searching it for her.

- Norio (guy who gets mistaken for a girl a lot) uses his Dragonet "Vagina dentata" to disuade them from doing so. Tsurumaru and Norio have obviously been keeping tabs on Shiina and Akira (possibly watching over them....protecting them???)

- Tsurumaru remarks that the the police should not interfere with this matter. (this scene is not in the manga)

-Seeing that Shiina cannot kill Hiro, Hoshimaru takes over and does it instead even when Shiina begs it to stop.

Scene cuts to Akira's house, she is standing over the body of her father with the blade that Komori-kun (EP 3) gave her in her hand (in the manga it has blood on it), Her mother walks into the room finding her like that.......

End of Vol 6 of the manga.

Scene shows Winter turning into Spring

The events of winter are told in Manga volume 7 chapters 30-33 (these focus on other characters in the series and do not feature Shiina).

Chapter 34 of the manga starts with the very last scene Shiina's name being called, in the manga it is her father calling to her and the events that occur before this in the anime are then played out.
In the anime version I'm pretty sure it is Shiina's own voice calling to her.... but I can't tell you why I think this is without spoiling.....

In the events preceding this scene the manga goes into slightly more depth but the basic point is the same it shows how things have moved on and the effect that dreadful day had on Shiina, she studied hard almost everyday and won a scholarship to "Banda" highschool the school Hiro was going to attaend and where Satomi does (Flower dragonet girl...YIKES!).
Its highly probable that Norio and Tsurumaru helped cover up Hiro's death (to save Shiina from being implicated) and therefore publically she has been listed as "missing". Therefore when her dad tell her he hopes Hiro-chan will be found safe, it is because Shiina hasn't told him what she knows of the situation and we can see her real sadness at what took place. Finally in the Anime Hoshimaru is on Shiina's roof, but in the manga we see him thrown outside, gathering dirt........
