Goodreads review: "wowowooww that last chapter from touma’s perspective felt like the most gentle(?) punch to the gut... the build ups kept getting better, from the homophobic argument, to masumi and mami’s breakdown, to touma’s brother’s speech 🧎 genuinely feel like i cant cry anymore but i’m sure the next volume will prove me very friggin wrong *sigh* here we go again 🚶 (pls make sure you hydrate x2 if you plan to read this)"

I find the argument about perspective interesting. I do argue that homophobia is bad; some things do have moral right and wrong like genocide is bad, homophobia is bad, etc, but I think it’s interesting how there’s a lot of talk about perspective and history. But yes homophobia is BAD

There were some… interesting choices for the chapter covers, which caused the rating to be docked. That said, a very strong penultimate volume!

The characters take you on such a difficult emotional journey. Somehow, volume 7 turned me inside out in ways the previous ones did not (and I loved all of them!).

Conversations, conversations, conversations – they hit you, they don’t let go. I find that I am in the story up to my ears and have trouble coming back to my world.

The aftermath of Toma’s confession becomes a whirlpool that sucks everyone in.

It’s fascinating to watch these young people discussing and clashing over gender roles, HBTQ, friendship, and differences of opinion in general – even though I’ve heard it all before, both the stupid crap and the wise things.

Futaba, Masumi and Mami have yet another conversation that leads to an emotional explosion.

“There’s no way you could understand what it’s like… for people who don’t dare whisper what they want to shout.”

Phew. I want to give everyone a hug and make it better. I wonder what will happen in volume 8? It’s the final one...

Ce manga est si mignon !! C'est beau, émouvant, tendre, et en même temps engagé. Les personnages sont très attachants, et à travers eux, lae mangaka aborde les sujets d'orientation sexuelle et d'identité, d'amour et d'amitié, des questionnements à l'heure de la fin du lycée, tout ça avec beaucoup de justesse et d'honnêteté. J'adore ❤️

An entire book of every character lecturing each other.
