I am unwell that it’s over. Overall, this didn’t feel like a “final volume”.. like were Haruki & Akihiko in the room with us?? Anyways, loved the conclusion of Ue & Mafuyu (love them sm 🥺) & that final panel of them at the beach kilt me 😂

Mafuyu & Ugetsu’s friendship was def not in my 2025 bingo card but I cherished it!! 🥹 So happy for Ugetsu to finally have a friend ugh. His story was truly one of my favorites.

Given was such an amazing story of grief, love & loss. Loved the parallelism between Yuki & Uenoyama. Mafuyu’s journey navigating that grief and learning how to live through that trauma was heartbreakingly beautiful & so real.

Happy to say this was my first BL manga & it will be one I’ll remember for a long time. Loved the music it incorporated & that it didn’t fixate on issues of same-sex couples. 🥰 Giving Kizu her flowers for this series!! Can’t wait for her next works! 💐💐💐

I can’t believe it’s over 🥹. This last volume was filled to the brim with emotions. I was just short of hearing the musical performances and feelings that were being sung.
All in all, wonderful series. It had a few weak volumes, but the last two entries really brought it back.
