The 6 survivors now down to 4 but ends up going back up to 5....
Nanami Sakuraba as Mizuki Konno, one of the elites.
Ayano Kudo as Haru Ichinose, the other elite who died in episode 8 but has come back to life.
Tao Tsuchiya as Chieko Kamiya, a loner who is the class brain.
Yuka Masuda as Chikage Usui, not sure of her status but doesn't like any of the survivors, another loner who got murdered in episode 6.
Rio Yamashita as Arisa Morishige, the class outcast.
Katsuhiro Suzuki as Haruaki Hirata, the 'found' 6th survivor and the only male.
We finally reach the conclusion of this drama and we ended the last show off with the survivors needing to cross a river bridge, climb a small mountain and hopefully reach a small town where they saw a helicopter go to. The problem was with the bridge, it was very old and decaying, don't think that more than one person could be on it at a time which meant the injured Kamiya would not be able to cross it, she's had to be carried by someone these last two episodes.
Two of the survivors do make it across and surprisingly one of them was Morishige whose view towards life has slowly been improving, she's been picked on by everyone from her father to her fellow students but right at the end of the series seems to have found a positive outlook for life. Shortly after the two that made it across end up meeting the search party who were able to go back and rescue Konno and Kamiya, it had a fairy tale ending. What made it a real fairy tale was that one of the ones we thought had perished falling over a cliff, Ichinose, actually didn't die and besides some minor injuries is okay.
And thus the drama ends with the four female survivors now all friends, 2 at one time were but the other 2 were outcasts but because of their ordeal together are now best friends when the new school year starts. These last two episodes were fine enough but the series seemed to lose a bit of it's edge at the end, it was based on a manga which I haven't read so perhaps that's how it ended too. Guess you can't have too depressing of an ending, can't have everyone end up dying so perhaps this ending will be fine for some and others probably wished for something different. A bit more did happen at the end but won't give away the whole story as I do recommend watching this if you haven't, will give it a final rating of a 8.5/10 which is a solid number, actually this series ended up being one of the better ones for this quarter but have two more that I haven't finished yet and both also seem to be real solid show.
