Review:
This volume has two big moments. First, Hibiki's sister grows
seriously sick, and he has to try to help and try to cope. I don't
know how I feel about how this is handled, since it kind of feels too
quick, but also it's kind of a hard situation to put a timeline on.
In the second half of the volume, the adults take the stage, and have
some wedding and baby drama. I had kind of thought this was done
with, so I was a little surprised that more drama showed up. Also
kind of not, though, cause these characters are kind of a mess. It makes me wonder
more about where the main romance is going, though. This opens up
another possibility I'd thought was closed.
I'm really not sure where this is going next, or how long this series
is going to be. It feels like some things are concluding, but then
even more issues show up and change things. I don't even know how to
feel with the age differences anymore, either, since I don't know what romance is actually happening anymore.
