Very glad to see Ari again, even though it’s so heartbreaking! I’m still so mad at the mangaka for doing this. But it’s nice that Ari could talk with someone who had a similar fate. 

 

What I really love about this manga, is that all relationships are just cozy. They want to be together, and they don’t mind intimacy, in whatever way. No extreme blushing, no getting flustered every time their hands brush. They’re just comfortable with each other. What love (any type) should feel like. 

 

Same with the arguments. They’re not childish arguments like “I’m jealous that you’re spending more time with X than with me”, but really going deep. Where both parties are right, where both of them are just concerned about the other. 

Same for the discussion between Fran-sensei and Omi-sensei. They both got a point. 

 

Well, it’s war after all … yet the mangaka manages to include really sweet scenes, making you forget about the war, and that the school is a boot camp, for a while. 

The melancholic feeling that’s been captured quite well.
