This ended so quickly. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ending. Like it wasn't much of a conclusion and I still don't feel like I learned enough from the characters. Everyone made up in a way and they apologized and sort of became friend again?? But the wrongs weren't necessarily forgiven. Idk. It was so weird and abrupt and it just wasn't enough for me.
Also the one shot at the end about the kid who died of neglect and just kept being reborn to see his mom again was so fucking weird?? Just strange stories all around.

Really wholesome and a pretty realistic end to the whole series!
The oneshot, 'Love Letter', about the child who's asked to be reborn each time so that he can be with his mum was so heartbreakingly sad.. :(
Rating: 4.5/5

That was the perfect ending to this manga (I can't stop the tears)~
It really gives such a hopeful message to its readers and I think that's beautiful.
The short story at the end made me so emotional. The little boy who kept coming back in the form of kittens, raindrops, songs and even flowers on the side of the road in order to comfort his mum.. Despite being neglected, he still loved her, and I think the artist portrays a different side to an otherwise tragic story.
I really enjoyed reading this manga and I'll definitely be checking out Kaori Ozaki's other works!
Can't recommend this manga enough. It's perfect if you're looking for a little slice of life, but also a meaningful storyline.

I overall really enjoyed the The Golden Sheep mangas. I think it took on some good topics and handled them pretty well. The art style is also very cute! In general I like Kaori Ozaki mangas a lot.
The only things that bother me are that the last one felt a bit rushed and the SA wasn’t talked about again. Also I don’t know how to feel about the short story in the end. It seems like it was trying to do something, but it was just very uncomfortable to read. Overall good manga tho! Would recommend this series^^

I appreciated how this volume picked up with Asari, I think it would've been more relevant in the previous volume but I was glad to read it regardless of the placement. I liked how the author wrapped up this story. I think that we can all relate to various aspects of each of the four main characters and that's what makes this story so good, because it feels so real.
