I absolutely loved the ending,  I smiled,  I cried (incredibly rare), I wanted more but it ended just right. 

If you like young love,  a little paranormal,  and heart warming stories.  This was a beautiful series.

Un tomo precioso, lleno de finales agridulces. He llorado con el final, siento que ha sido el cierre perfecto para esta historia.

~4 Stars

The last bit of closure for the series is the ghosts inhabiting Shizu's body. They need closure in order to move on, and Shizu and Tetsu decide to find it. Haru is the biggest surprise, both sad and sweet. Shizu forms a friendship with his daughter in the search, though.
Shizu gets to continue discovering herself. Finding out who she is and what she likes, and what she wants. I really like these kinds of plot lines/characters to begin with, and it's nice to see Shizu figuring these things out. She's getting out there and making friendships, going after what she wants, and growing her relationship with Tetsu along the way.
The ending for this series was really sweet. It wrapped up all of the loose threads, including Shizu's relationship with her father and Tetsu's mother's status. Some a little open, but on the way to getting better, I think.
This was a really sweet series, and I'm glad I followed it.

This was a gem.

I stumbled across someone in social media mentioning it and I got a little curious. So I started it, unsure what to expect from it, and fell in love. Fantastic characters with plenty of personal developments and growth (I may have teared up a few times), and some nice plot twists along the way.

I highly recommend this manga. It's so, so good!

I haven't cried this much over a manga ending since The Promised Neverland.

not to get extremely personal in the goodreads review section but the other day while reading through old letters ive collected from old friends and family members, i basically broke down crying and ended up writing in my journal that i am never as alone as i feel in the past present and certainly in the future and like idk why i picked this manga from all the recs i got the other day but this short and sweet series really reinforced that. yes i am crying like a mf again and this will probably stick w me for the rest of my life as i will think of it when i am feeling dreadful and lonely but yknow what. crying is ok! lets just hope my eyes arent puffy tmrw morning

update: i did wake up with puffy eyes bro this is so sick
