Honestly this manga was so good and quickly became one of my favorites. A few things were missing for me though which I will explain here. Yuushin used to beat up Sora with his friends constantly steal from him, bully him, tell him to kill himself and so much more. We got some insight about why Yuushin did these things but I think everything happened a bit fast. It is said that Yuushin acted this way because he felt Sora had given up on him, and this does not excuse any of his behavior. Sora was traumatized by the horrible bullying he was dealt to the point where he wanted to kill himself. And it was wrapped up in the end with a pretty bow that they all became friends again. That was what bothered me the most. Most of the characters stories were not given fully, not giving readers a chance to fully connect with the characters. On another note, the little bits of romances that were given. Yuushin had sexually assaulted Asari, and I say this because she had told him to stop and he didn't, she was crying hysterically and looked very downtrodden. Later in the novel, this is not resolved or addressed and she is still blushing around Yuushin. It was as if this was normal.Second, Tsugu and Sora had a sweet friendship that was possibly leading to more and when he stated he wanted to get stronger before engaging in anything with her, I was intrigued to see his growth. Seeing the growth and development of all these characters would have been really cool if the series continued. Which is why I think a lot of things were left unresolved at the end. I can only hope there will be more in the series to give some closure at least.
The short story Love Letters was heartbreaking and a bit confusing tbh
All in all, I enjoyed it.

i wish there were more volumes to this series because i really liked it! really loved the focus on friendships and how people change and grow apart and the discussions of mental health.

only issue i have is a serious incident that happened in vol 2 between the two of the friends that wasn’t addressed (no apology or consequences) which was disappointing.

but if you’re looking for a sweet, raw slice of life manga series i would recommend this!

 Cute little story, nothing overwhelmingly powerful or great. But relaxing and for a soft read

This comic came to a beautiful end. It was emotional, touching, if you don't cry or feel the emotions at least one you definitely don't have a heart
