While I felt the last volume elevated the series, this one takes a step back, and gives a okay ending to a pretty long series.

So it all comes down to accepting the past. You have to visit it, accept it, and only then can you move on. It's the path of multiple characters, their regrets, and their loss and how they plan on wrapping it up so they can go to the next step. Kasuga decides to visit Nakamura to finally figure out his feelings and thoughts but this time he has his new girlfriend, Tokiwa, to help him get through it. There's also a bonus ending chapter that covers Nakamura first time meeting Kasuga.

Good: The art, as always, is pretty great. The Tokiwa and Kasuga relationship is still the strong part of the love stuff. I also liked seeing Nakamura's view point and now understand why she's so fucked up in a lot of ways. Oh and the fact they showed the future for multiple characters gave a much needed closure that I didn't know I wanted.

Bad: The stuff with Nakamura seemed weird and odd. I also thought the death of Kasuga's grandfather wasn't all that well handled. A lot of the same shocked panels and faces the author loves to do felt like waste.

Overall, it was a solid volume but nothing I didn't expect from. Still, overall a interesting series if nothing else. A slice of life for Japan. 3 out of 5.
