Review:
This volume is very about Tetsu. His past is finally catching up to
him, now that he's nearing graduation, and Shizu is starting to
notice. Shizu is struggling with all of her inner voices while trying
to find her own, especially regarding her feelings for Tetsu and how
she can help him. Tetsu has pushed away all of his friends and
hobbies, and it's affected his friends and family in ways he wasn't
seeing. It turns out, he needed the good-hearted childishness of
Kanato to push him along.
It's a little messy, with the revelation in the middle. All of these
feelings are also culminating inside Shizu. But the end result is
super sweet, and it's nice to see all of his old team mates showing
Tetsu how much they care.
The ending was another rather big revelation. I'm intrigued to see
where it goes next, in their relationship.
Having so many people in Tetsu's life meet Shizu is also interesting,
and I'm wondering what will happen with that. Her predicament is a
little hard to explain, especially when Tetsu calls Shizu by each
personality that takes over—that is sure to get confusing to
someone else at some point.
