3.0

This one was a more difficult read, especially for me at this moment. A lot of illness, death, and grief. It's still hopeful, but it was more challenging to get through. 

In addition, I found this volume very repetitive, which was frustrating at times. Reminders can be helpful on occasion, especially when there are multiple story lines and characters, but the amount of reminders about what <b>just</b> happened were not necessary. (Maybe a bit due to the translation?) 

I still recommend the series, and will continue on to book 4!

This book actually made me so emotional like the other 2 books. The characters was so sweet. I felt their emotions.  My Fav chapter was the last chapter named "The Young man".

When Reiji gone back to the past to see Nanako and told her that she is going to be his wife in future. But at the end Nanako died. I really cried in that part. Because they deserves a better ending.

If you enjoyed the first two volumes in this series and want more, then this book will provide that. But if you're looking for more variety, then it's better to look for a different book. While I enjoyed this volume, it was the same formula as the first two books, and that formula is getting old for me. If you're okay with getting the same story told over again with different characters, by all means read this book. It's good at what it does. But I want more variety, so I won't be continuing any further with the series.
