Goodreads Synopsis:
A
butterflies-in-your-stomach high school romance about two very different
high school boys who find themselves unexpectedly falling for each
other.
Outgoing high school student Noshiro finds himself drawn to Sanada, the school outcast, who is rumored to be gay. Rather than deter Noshiro, the rumor makes him even more determined to get close to Sanada, setting in motion a bittersweet tale of first love.
Self-discovery is not always awesome, as Noshiro, Ayumi and Makoto are all finding out the hard way. Even the self-assured Sanada seems to be struggling. The final volume of this complicated love story proves that hanging on to that blue sky feeling of youthful love is an elusive and unpredictable task.

Review:
Noshiro finally has to confront his real feelings since the series is
coming to a close. Noshiro and Sanada are both in denial, though for
different reasons and in different ways. Before all of this, though,
Ayumi and Sanada have to be honest with each other. And then Noshiro
has to see whether he wants to be with a girl more than he wants to
be with Sanada.
I really appreciate how this series wraps up. Particularly how Ayumi
and Sanada confront each other and realize their real friendship.
Ayumi has a bit of a hard time here, up until she comes to the
realization, and then her and Sanada finally get to be real and
honest with each other, and it's really sweet to see.
The conclusion for Noshiro and Sanada isn't very explicitly stated,
but I'm still quite happy with it. They've kind of agreed not to
label it at this point, but that seems to work for them at the
moment.
I really liked this series. I appreciate how it handled several
themes, the characters were really good, and the ending was nice. I'm
really glad this series was released, and I look forward to seeing
more like it.
