Shounen Shoujo - Vol. 3 Ch. 15

Lol the boy thought he won but in the end he lost.

If he took her seriously he could have broght her back and died himself to receive the glory but he was too stuck up in the end
 
So is that why little boy never got to hear little girl's name? Because it is such a common name and lacks individuality, despite the girl herself being such a unique, eccentric person?
 
That is a funny conclusion to the little boy's struggle for recognition: it proved to be a pointless and useless endeavour. What did the author mean by this? Is the message that a name famous for its association does not constitute an individuality? After chapter 12 with all those skulls as motifs, is he telling me that there is no individuality after death? Is the moral here that luck is the only thing that makes an individual? What is individuality anyway? Perhaps there is no point and the author simply hates people who want to be "the first person to x", so he wrote a story to show those people how meaningless their desire is.
 
Nisioisin always did play dirty hahah. Great work from both of them but I would love to see more of Akatsuki's art.
