Goodreads Synopsis:

Sawako “Sadako” Kuronuma is the perfect heroine…for a horror movie.

With her jet-black hair, sinister smile and silent demeanor, Sawako “Sadako” Kuronuma always had trouble fitting in. But her whole life changes when she befriends the most popular boy in class, Shota Kazehaya. Can love trump her cursed life?

Review:

The first half of the volume is the conclusion to Ayane and Pin's potential romance. She takes some persuading to actually go to him, and he's worried and rooting for her to pass her exams. And coincidentally, it's valentine's day.

I will admit that I'm a little disappointed. It makes sense, and isn't necessarily surprising, and I won't spoil it beyond that. But I was kind of hoping for a different ending.

After that, it's graduation. Kazehaya and Sawako get a little time together, there's a lot of tears as everyone is saying goodbye. Sawako gets to make a speech, as the valedictorian. Afterward, there's the tradition of button-stealing and whatnot, with a super cute moment between the main couple (and some between every other relationship).

There's only one volume left, and I'm super upset that this series is ending. It's definitely one of my favorites, and I'll miss it, but I can't wait to see how it ends.
