After I was growing impatient with the lack of communication between Mafuyu and Uenoyama, the moment where Uenoyama finally goes to the concert in this volume (after last volume left us on that cliffhanger😭) was so heartwarming- it hits different reading this while listening to the actual song too. I think this last volume overall wrapped the story pretty nicely🫡 Aside from Mafuyu and Uenoyama's relationship, I also really appreciate Mafuyu's friendship with Ugetsu🥰

I really love how the final volume touches on all the main themes of the entire series: friendship, romance, loss/grief, growth, self-discovery, pursuit of passion, etc. It was a beautiful ending. Yuki will always be remembered😭

However, although yes, I am aware that there is a main focus on Mafuyu and Uenoyama, I kind of wished we could have seen more of the band as a whole. We got a bit but I felt like- yk what about Akihiko and Haruki? With this being the end of the series I expected an ending where they were also more present.
