Cute. Some contemplation about death that goes absolutely nowhere. The story jumps to random dreams often, but most kids won't mind.

I like Chiaki and Riku's dynamic! Even as love rivals, they are still good (almost) friends. I am not invested in either of the romantic relationships, and I honestly do not know who Ten will choose. I'll give the edge to Riku tho because I think the shoujo's trying to show the reformed playboy who finally wants to be taken seriously.

Now, this is just getting annoying with the back and forth of Shimana’s feelings. Zen is still adorable and much more age-appropriate than Taiga/Mr. Landlord, but if he’s done with pursuing Shimana, then he needs to be done for real. Every time he backtracks about how much he loves her and wants to date her, and it's just getting a little desperate.

Idk why the mangaka decided to go in that direction with Asahi. Top tier soap opera stuff, guys.

On a positive note, I liked the ending with the group shouting their feelings across the river. So cute!
