What happens in the end of the Tokyo Ravens anime?


Harutora's attempt to resurrect Natsume supposedly succeeded, but Saotome
Suzu, who had helped to perform the ritual, told the other characters over the
phone that it _technically_ was a success.

In the end, we see how Natsume is resting in a bed inside a brightly sunlit
room with a window open. Harutora says he'll be looking forward to see her and
disappears. It's not clear whether he was real or not, and whether the whole
room is some metaphor of sorts, considering the "astrology" stuff in the
previous episode.

What's really going on in the end of the anime?




This is still unclear in the anime. As of the time of writing, there are 11
volumes of light novel and the anime adaptation has covered up to volume 9
(titled _to The DarkSky_ ).

From [volume 9 chapter 5](http://www.baka-
tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Tokyo_Ravens:Volume9_Chapter5) (emphasis
mine):

> Was it a dream? She wasn't sure. Her fuzzy brain still wasn't working well.
> The sheets completely covered Natsume, and everything was unclear, so she
> couldn't make a normal judgment.
>
> Natsume softly touched her lips with her fingers. The sensation lingering
> there was inexplicably fresh, clear, and **real**. Natsume's face reddened
> and she buried her face in the covers again.

He is real. The incident did happen but we are not sure where. Resurrection
was successful but there may other thing needed to be done for Natsume to live
in real world.

The _technical_ success Suzu was talking about is explained more clearly in
[volume 10 chapter 3](http://www.baka-
tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Tokyo_Ravens:Volume10_Chapter3):

> "Yes. I won't hide it any longer. My name is Tsuchimikado Natsume. I was
> adopted by the Tsuchimikado main family not long after birth and was raised
> as the next family head. Tsuchimikado Harutora is my childhood friend."

> "Also...... It's true that I'm a dead person. Last summer, I was resurrected
> from death. ......No, I was just awakened, and right now I'm still barely
> maintaining my current state."

In the future, there may be an OVA for the remaining part of LN which may go
into detail on it.
