so Menma finally acts! been expecting it but it didn't give me that "wow" moment as it ought to (in my imagination anyway). It's very down to earth, very real, kind of scary (a ghost after all) but also very emotional and nostalgic... of a friend coming back and friends coming together one more time. The Peace Busters are never complete without Menma.

Maybe Menma's purpose of coming back is to come to terms with herself for leaving this life, just as everyone else has to come to terms with living without her anymore. We keep seeing scenes of Menma looking at Jinta's mum's photo... really, could her lingering feeling be her unwillingness to let go and leave? (or just to say a proper goodbye)
