Oh no I can’t believe this is ending I can’t have it
Sorry, I’ll just be pnicking over here
Didn’t expect this to be so heartbreaking-ly beautiful
I’ll miss them all
Deep breaths
It was a long journey. I don’t know if she will go with Al anymore, but that peace, damn, that peace
I wish we could see her be herself for a while. But if these is where it ends, then it’s alright.
Again, Blue, thanks for all this.
Aaahhh! ;_;
The star! The smile!
The book-ends!!!
She’s so beautiful and she looks so serene and happy!!! She’ll be okay!!!
Thank you so much for this journey, Blue.
I… Did not expect to be hit so hard by 6 panels. I don’t think I’ve ever seen gender euphoria illustrated so effectively. <3
Followed this comic since day one almost, but it's the first time I've commented.
beautifully done!
If this is the end, and it certainly does seem to be, my only complaint about the whole series is that we never learned who Black Screen was. It looked like it was being built up as an important plot point, but I don’t think it was ever resolved.
That’s probably it, but there’s this one thing that feels odd.
Chapter 4, Page 51, Brendan says to Black Screen: “I’m trying to resolve an internal matter and thought you might have some information. Given our history.”
What about “their history” would make Brendan suspect Tsade? Tsade has the resources to do this, obviously, but from what of that history has been shown on screen, I don’t see what aspect of their history that could possibly be referring to.
I discovered this comic earlier, and decided to flick through it on a whim. Didnt expect to read the whole thing in one sitting. This comic is really wonderful, and I’m super excited to see how this chapter ends :)
I found this last month, binged it in a day, and now It’s nearing the end and this Girl is crying happy tears! Got me to cry a number of times throughout allready so here we go aagin!
That is delightful symmetry.
So, is Tsade going into space with synths who want to roll out away from the tiresome human neurotics?
What made the construction bot go nuts? (Or maybe it was just trying to give Alistair a high five/hug).
When Brendan says “I’ll _always_ be there for you”, is he planning ahead as far as getting an immortal synth body? Are a lot of people?
Found this beautiful story about five months ago and am SO glad I did. This is a dramatic and perfect ending. Although I believe there will be an epilogue of some kind or else Blue might have said “the final page” or some such. The softy in me REALLY wants to see a frame or two of them together
When I saw that image from the poster from so long ago, I gasped. This is making me feel like good science fiction does: kind of confused (what is…computer) and teary-eyed.
I’m overcome, at this page, with happiness and I’m not sure what. Thank you so much. I am transgender and this has been the single most touching depiction of transition and re-realizing yourself that I’ve ever seen. Ahhhhhhhh
The symmetry with page 1 is beautiful!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aaaah omg, these 6 panels are just so beautiful!! Can’t wait for the final reveal ;v;
That smile :)
Literally chills – this is beautiful.
Wait, so the final page is next week?
Sounds that way. We were told it’s the last chapter.

Transition as a magical girl transformation.
Aaahhh! ;_;

Thank you so much for this journey, Blue.
Wait- THATS IT!?
Aww. Much better.
Y’all it says “chapter” ender. But also I’m SOBBING at this page
At the start of the chapter, Blue said this was the final chapter: http://ohumanstar.com/comic/chapter-eight-title-page/
But the wording of the comment today has me hoping for a little something more too.
I wish it was this easy IRL.
Don’t mind me just sitting here SOBBING!!! I am not ready for the ender next week. I’m just not.
The Blue Fairy poster, the Blue Fairy who makes Pinnochio real, Blue we’ve all been waiting for this for EIGHT YEARS and we’re all crying
ahhhhhhhhhh
Well, I cried.
!!!!!!! the peaceful smile !!!!!!
I… Did not expect to be hit so hard by 6 panels. I don’t think I’ve ever seen gender euphoria illustrated so effectively. <3

beautifully done!
I’m gonna need three more volumes
o human star!!
oh
thank you so much for all of this
absolutely lovely in all of the ways
I KNEW IT!!!
Thank you, this is beautiful.
Well done on whoever called the poster from the beginning being her true form
I think that was me, and I’m pleased to have been accurate in this case. ^_^
And such a beautiful parallel to the first page, too!
This is so beautiful! Eight years later and I am crying and I shared it with my wife who is a trans woman so she could understand why I’m crying!!
Would it be wrong for me to hope that her name is Ellie?
I’m going to have to reread this, I never picked up on the fact that Al was trans.
That smile, oh god I’m crying.
YYYYESSSSSSSSSSS
Sweet.

I’m pretty sure that was Tsade

I’m 99% sure that was Tsade
I’m 99.5% sure that was Tsade
It was Tsade

Polygon sent me here. Thank you for this story and especially Titus. They’ve given me things to reconsider about myself.
Well, dang. Looks like the person who sent me here picked the perfect time to do so. (Hi, everyone.)
I feel so dumb, having read this for years and never having noticed the star the blue fairy held in the poster. Whoops.
Congrats on the polygon plug!
That is delightful symmetry.

Certainly looks happier now, the ‘stache really helped with the grump look

Obligatory “just caught up” comment. Now I have to wait for updates just like everyone else. 😛

This is the greatest final page. Thank you, Blue.
Transitioning
Transforming
Transcending
The not-quite-explicit callback to the first page is beautiful. <3
*SCREAMS*
thank you so much. just finished reading all of it in one sitting, recovering from a sickness in bed. such a beautiful and touching story. thank you.
I’m overcome, at this page, with happiness and I’m not sure what. Thank you so much. I am transgender and this has been the single most touching depiction of transition and re-realizing yourself that I’ve ever seen. Ahhhhhhhh
