  Sadako at the End of the World is a wonderfully empathetic reflection on the Sadako mythos. It understands the tragedy of the character and works to give her a sense of fulfillment and closure most other interpretations dont. It imaginatively reframes her curse as something comforting in its post-apocalyptic setting, giving her the opportunity to help rather than hurt. The storys final chapter is called We Love You, Sada-chan, and truly, this book is a loving tribute to her. If anything, Sadakos curse is that she so thoroughly captured the hearts and imaginations of every horror fan who sees her, which is why her legacy will forever linger. Even at the end of the world.
