If it was, then why did Menma start to vanish on the last episode when Jinta cried again for the first time after Menma appeared before him in the episode when he joked that he remembered something a movie perhaps to hide the real reason he was crying from Menma?
Would the wish just take effect if Menma clearly remembered what it is? Or making Jinta cry was just put in that way by his mother for the young Menma to understand and what it really meant was for Jinta to generally open himself up again to different emotions like enjoying himself with his friends, to laugh when he's happy, to get angry when he is, to cry when he's lonely, etc?
And the day Menma died, Menma called for the Super Peace Buster to fulfill that wish but unfortunately, due to Yukiatsu and Anaru's plan to tell everyone what Jinta feels about Menma, which apparently Menma and Tsuruko knew about it failed and led to Menma's death. How did she plan to fulfill that promise that day?
I don't think it was explained in the series but one of the things most people assume is that Menma returns because she wants her wish fulfilled. This, in turn, could mean that once her wish is fulfilled, she leaves. So it's possible either she has returned for some reason unrelated to her wish or she lied about what her wish actually was. Note that these two things are not mutually exclusive. Menma lied about her wish, and she returned to have her wish fulfilled and at the end, it was fulfilled and she disappeared.
All this time, the audience and the rest of the cast doesn't know what the wish is and thus don't know why she returned and why she disappeared. Menma's wish was actually to make Jintan cry, but that's not why she returned.
Thus perhaps even fulfilling the Jintan-cry-wish, she doesn't disappear because the reason for her return is something else, which was completed at the end of the series.
Menma's lied about her wish, but her return was irrelevant to that wish to begin with, leaving her disappearance a mystery. It's possible in this scenario, that the wish facilitated whatever it was that allowed her to leave. As for what the wish was and why she left, it's probably all speculation.
There's a blogpost that speculates about the possibilities of Menma's wish and her reasons for returning. Note that this was written before the ending of the series, but if we are to assume that the final wish or the reason she came back isn't what she claims, then a lot of it is still applicable. It's completely reasonable to assume that the extension of her wish was meant for "Jintan to generally open himself up again to different emotions like enjoying himself with his friends, to laugh when he's happy, to get angry when he is, to cry when he's lonely", and the entire journey of finding what it was the Menma had originally wished for accomplished this.
And that sort of mean her original wish wasn't what brought her back and not why she left at the end. She reunited them and made them honest to each other that's why in the very last episode she was slowly disappearing, because all of them knew what everyone was hiding from each other. Menma's wish was to reunite the Super Peace Busters, to really hear what Jinta has to say, before she died to grant the wish of Jinta's mother and to have proper goodbyes.
It said that they won't have proper goodbyes if they don't find Menma, thats why Menma appeared again to properly say goodbye. If you watch the series more than once you would know. I thank a lot A-1 Pics for doing such beautiful anime. There should be more anime like this… So, I leave you with the final words of this anime, by Jinta:.
I wonder… What were the names of the flowers that bloomed during that season? They trembled slightly in the breeze, felt a little prickly to touch…. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Bio Suggest! Were they thinking about Menma? Wanting her dream to be granted? That she asks to all of them… Then, Anaru says that she was thinking only about her. That she wanted Menma to go so Jinta stops thinking about her. She wanted Menma to disappear, for her own sake.
Then, Yukiatsu says he did the same. Tsuruko tries to stop her, grabbing her, but Anaru starts saying that Tsuruko was disgusted in how she was jealous of Menma, but in the bottom, Tsuruko was jealous of Menma too. Tsuruko says she always hated how Anaru and Yukiatsu tagged along very well, so she told Menma about what Anaru wanted to ask to Jinta in their childhood. But even now, the only one to fill the place next to Yukiatsu is Anaru. So, if Menma was out, and Anaru was to be with Jinta, she might be the next on the line… Then Yukiatsu says that it was hopeless to try to get Menma to heaven, but Poppo starts speaking.
He saw the moment when Menma was drowning. As a child, Meiko appears as a small little girl with long, straight, silver hair that reaches past her shoulders and a bayang causing her forehead to be more prominent.
Her eyes are light blue and wide, making her look like a cheerful, innocent young girl. Her appearance that she could have had if she lived is almost identical to her child appearance. She wears a tiered white dress, fastened with a blue bow.
In the anime, Her dress is often described as "a white one piece with a blue ribbon". Since she's a spirit, she always goes barefoot unlike her past self, who always wore simple sandals on her feet. This could be due to the fact that she lost her sandals in the water. In her older version, her hair is about waist-length. Her skin is the palest among the other characters.
Unlike her childhood friends, she still has not grown fully yet and has quite the same personality like when she was five. Menma is a very kind and cheerful girl with a very air-headed nature and she often worries about others before herself, especially when it comes to Jinta "Jintan" Yadomi.
She is extremely childish although this may partially be down to the fact she died as a child and has only recently been 'resurrected'. Although throughout the series she is surrounded by her friends, she does often get very lonely and upset easily, especially when she visits her family and realizes she no longer belongs to them, nor does she have a home. Also, due to the fact, only Jinta can see her, she can communicate with the others in the group using her notebook, and only her notebook, although Menma does wish to be able to talk to the other members.
Despite being "dead", she is a very positive, energetic and lively person. According to Jinta, she is quite selfless and cries very often for others when they are hurt or upset, but not for herself. Jinta calls her "the beast of the summer" as he relates her to being a manifestation of his stress instead of a ghost girl.
