I'm sad that it has come to an end but I had such a wonderful time with the characters and the story that it doesn't hurt as much to finish it. One thing that really let this volume down was the amnesia segment, it did not need to be around 22 pages or so for it to be about Ida being scared of losing something precious aka Aoki. It could of been shortened down so much more and those leftover pages could of been used for the epilogue/bonus story which was only 2 pages. Other than that the story, the characters and everyone's relationships with one another was beautiful and heart-warming to see; the ups and downs of life and moving forward into the next chapter of your life. I like to think that Ida may of been autistic as well as him being demisexual & demiromantic but that's just my headcanon. My cuties Hashimoto & Aida, I wish I could of seen more of them together near the end, another bonus chapter just specifically of them would of been perfect but alas I just have to create my own extra content in my mind. The art work was phenomenal, Aruko-sensei's faces were amazing at broadcasting the characters emotions, it really brought the scenes to life and Hinekure-sensei's storytelling was also amazing and I'm excited for more of their future works.
