What a lovely end to the series. Personally, I preferred the more serious tone of this over the sometimes very goofy tone in the beginning. The focus on different lifestyles and letting go of other's expectations was great and especially for a manga I really loved the representation and depiction of both an aroace character and gay relationships.
I think Sousuke might also be somewhere under the aromantic umbrella?
Loved the depiction of platonic love. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars was that while I definitely connected with many of the themes, I didn't feel super emotionally connected with the story/characters. A great read that I cherish and will definitely recommend though!
