WHAT AN AMAZING ENDING, 5 STARS EASILY. A ROMANCE COMIC WHERE THEY ACTUALLY GET MARRIED??? AND YOU SEE THE WEDDING? I think I got a little teary eyed during that scene, it was so sweet! Queer weddings are the best.
Oh and you finally meet Saki and Asuka's family. Maki, Saki's sister has a whole chapter that works backstory and relationship building into the current narrative. So she doesn't feel like she came out of now where I guess, and the sisters' relationship is believable. However there is a part where we meet Asuka's parents, conflict, and quick resolution. But like the conflict was pretty heart-renching for a minute. Like a sudden storm in the sea of cuteness. Other reviews seem to like the conflict free ending, but I'd rather have the conflict we did get, then a forced super dramatic conflict before the end. I've read a lot of romance comics in the last 2 or 3 years, and I've seen to much forced drama...

Okay so this volume really starts out with a school beach trip and one of the cutest one-off character stories. Lesbian Old Lady's anecdote is perfect, I wish the author wrote what happened to her!
Anyways the school beach trip is nice and pretty sweet too, it kinda wishes we got a bit more stories incorporating the students. It's cute okay? Everything in this comic is just so cute and sweet...
OKAY ALSO THE WEDDING PART AHHH. I don't want to spoil but it's just romance trash.

Anyways please read this entire series if you want an older lesbian romance with still the sweetness of romance comics.

SPOILERS:
When they said our teachers are dating, they weren't lying. Both? of the teacher pairs, end up coupling up. I didn't know if they'd actually do that. I mean I knew it was a 50/50. The school really is that sapphic.

I wish there was a little more of an epilogue.

Also, Asuka’s parents were so quickly swayed that it was a bit unbelievable.

What a beautiful and warm journey.
Best part is that the author got herself a girlfriend & a cat, thanks to this series. Goals.

There was a bit of drama here with Asuka's parents. Realistic drama, not exaggerated. Unsurprisingly, it all ended well and they found a middle ground; but yeah, with the rather immature drama in the other volumes, that took me aback for a moment (in a good way).

I found it a bit of a quick progress in this volume, as the other volumes were rather slowly, and there was just suddenly so much happening, with all the new characters being introduced. And, I mean, getting married after just about a year? That is quick, even for a happy world like the author created here.
But it does work for this particular series, somehow.
And the wedding was cute.
I also loved how they were both wearing gowns. Usually you have one wearing a suit, and the other a dress, but not here. Nice having some representation for two feminine lesbians as well.

This volume was my favorite of the series. It had a lot of character moments in it I was missing from the previous volumes. I really liked the talk between Terano-sensei and her mom about of her dad would be happy for her. The talk with Hayama Sensei’s parents was a little rushed but still enjoyable.

The series as a whole had pacing issues and needed some stronger character moments to really get me to fall in love with the characters. It is a cute and fluffy story though, perfect for readers who just want to relax and read a sweet story about women being in love.
