I enjoyed how dark this volume got at times and how it balanced out the series' usual lightheartedness.  Hideki's struggles brought out some beautiful scenes between him and Hiroto, and I was deeply moved by their friendship.  The flashback chapter with Granny also stood out to me, as we saw her mustering the nerve to buy a pretty dress for herself, despite her fears that she shouldn't be so indulgent at her age.  I love how she inspires Hiroto in the present, even though was Hiroto who inspired her in the past.  The result is an ouroboros of friendship and kindness... I'm looking forward to reading more about these characters.
