needed so much more shima... i figured this volume was going to be more about aoi and akane's life after school, but i missed my little family, we never get enough of them. but the last chapter was a treat, all the angst was worth it for the end.

(but was it though? because honestly, this volume was kind of an optional read, because i feel like the first one was one nice and compact story, and this one added a bunch of weird stuff that didn't need to be there and just made me uncomfortable for the most part. i don't mind the angst, but i didn't really like how a lot of it was handled. it wasn't tense, it was just uncomfortable and played out as something a lot more lighthearted than it actually was, but i guess that's just the tone of the manga. i'm not here to just complain though, because i really did enjoy a lot of it, but i just wished for more wholesome family time, i guess </3)

need a little side story with haruki and tsubaki, by the way. even though haruki pisses me off and i need him far, far, FAR away from my family. i would definitely read that. gimme.
