This was a nice volume that focused a lot more on the story then it did on the romance between Tsugumi and Itsuki. I like how Tsugumi is learning to be a care giver and it not be driven by her romantic relationship with Itsuki but for her father who now needs a caregiver. I also like how Tsugumi got to see her relationship from an outside perspective with Kaede and Keigo and how that's helped her understand her relationship with Itsuki better. We got the push and pull between Kaede and Keigo, but now Tsugumi get's an opportunity to help them fight for a happier ending for both of them.
What brings this down to a 4/5 stars despite how much I liked it, is that I found myself just skimming a fair bit of this volume. I didn't care that much about the parts that had Koreda or Nagasawa. They just feel like obstacles that are over staying their welcome with how they're not really contributing to the story anymore. They're just there, taking up space on the pages.
Still looking foward to volume 6 though!

So, yeah. Spent my library shift on Wednesday night gushing about this series to a colleague and two patrons. This volume was a hard one on the emotions, but it was so good. Loved the introduction of Kaede and Keigo’s story. I cannot believe how I’m having my emotions ripped out and stomped all over … and I continue to be eager for more!
