It always has been hard not to read ahead, but on this volume it feels even harder

That panel!

やっと! That panel has some serious Frank Miller vibes going on. I really like the artist’s pen & ink artwork in this series – especially in this chapter with that effect of 勇樹 disappearing into the night.

This chapter has a lot of feels and ties up a lot of threads!
Good stuff!
Can you believe there is only two more chapters?

Wow this chapter was full of story, did not expect this. I have no idea what next week is going to involve.

Time really is flying! But there are 2 chapters left after this week actually. :slightly_smiling_face:

I was a little skeptical that things would turn out happy as the title promises, but things are looking better in this volume so far.

I just learned 五所’s name was ゆきこ, and it reminded me of this song from way back when (nsfw album cover). The band is kinda system of a downish, pretty good album. ゆきこさん - song and lyrics by ミドリ | Spotify

I get ther idea Okazaki but no need to be handing out free STDs, clean your blade dude

Having a specific word for 60th birthday isnt fair japan

Does this mean he still thinks Makoto is alive somewhere? Poor mom

It’s interesting how she does the っす ending here when talking to Makoto but was talking with the full です earlier with the nurse. I’d like to think that she reverted to her earlier speech pattern, kinda how you do when talking to old friends

Hard to wait for the next chapter, but might as well at this point, just gotta excercise some self-control (unlike some others :smirk:)

FINAL CHAPTER

Are you still reading along?
  • I am reading along
  • I was reading along, but couldn’t help myself from finishing the last chapter early
  • I will catch up later
  • I’m reading ahead (aka: I finished a while ago, and I’ve been waiting for everyone else to catch up!)
  • I won’t be reading (anymore) (aka: I’m stopping before the last chapter because they’re already happy now)
