Horimiya, Band 6 by HERO

5.0

Any good story first sets up a conflict, a tension to hold the readers.
It can be as simple as having shared secrets from the world.
Or it can be that two strangers who feel lonely find solace in each other.

Then the story's tension is built up.
The secrets starts to leak.
The strangers start to grow closer.
New characters are introduced.
There is even internal conflicts inside the mind of the character.
They start to feel things they didn't know they wanted.

And then there is the final step. The payoff of the climax.
The characters are finally getting a respite from their tensions as the conflicts are resolved.
The larger the build up, the greater the payoff.
If the resolution is done too easily, the payoff isn't great.

What I loved about this volume was that the resolution, the payoff was perfectly executed.
It felt like the moment when a magician performs his best trick and everyone is silent and just stunned by the MAGIC.

That's all I can think to describe this volume, MAGIC.
Loved it.
