Goodreads Synopsis:
Spring is in the air,
but doubts about the future bloom along with the flowers for Sawako and
her friends. A bright spot in this season of worry is White Day, where
the boys return gifts for the ones they received on Valentine’s Day.
Kazehaya has a very special gift in store for Sawako!
Review:
This series could
go on forever and I would never get tired of it. I would love it for all
eternity. It’s just perfect.
Why have no other
series by Shiina been licensed yet? What’s up with that? I looked, and she has
so many!
The group is
growing up, slowly but steady. They have to decide on college, and careers, and
think about their relationships. It’s heartbreaking and so sweet.
Sawako is so not
used to having friends or a boyfriend, that everything is a treat to her.
Kazehaya is sweet to her without even trying, that when he really does
something special, it’s even better than he thought it would be. Kazehaya is
figuring out what he wants to do with his life, and his biggest problem is his
father, who’s coming around. The way he talks to Sawako about it, their
openness, is wonderful. Sawako’s plans are starting to waver, though, and she’s
conflicted about what to do between her career and Kazehaya.
Meanwhile, Chizu is
plain freaking out, over Ryu and her future. She still doesn’t know what to do
about Ryu, and now that he’s on a path for his future, she doesn’t quite know
what hers will be anymore. She’s just floundering at this point.
Ayane, on the other
hand, is starting to push herself. Aiming for a higher college, making her
grades better, reaching farther than she has before. At the same time, Kento is
wanting more from their relationship. Oddly enough, I’m feeling the chemistry
between Ayane and Pin, a lot. While I feel bad for Kento, because he’s feeling
a lot more than she is.
Every character in
this series is their own, unique and stand out, and clearly complex. They are
all different, loving each other but needing something different. I’m impressed
and I love it completely.
This series can do
no wrong. Every volume is a treat that goes by way too fast, and I’m always
looking forward to the next.
