atalinay's review against another edition
4.0
Almost to the end! I really liked this volume. I love how the characters, instead of extending the drama, seek to communicate and have real reactions to situations. I really like these characters and it seems like forever ago that they were in high school and I didn't like Megumi. Can't wait to see where their life leads them.

MEGUMI BROKE UP WITH THAT CREEPY CHEATING BASTARD!!! BLESS!!!!!!!!
I wasn't expecting for the time jump to have happened but I think it makes sense. It's wild seeing everyone get older and become adults with careers. Aiko is pregnant! I'm not really shocked that she would be the first one to be pregnant and get married but it's insane to think of how much has changed for everyone. I really was hoping that Asumi and Takeshi would break up.... but alas I can't win apparently. I'm glad that Mei and Yamato finally talked, although it did get so repetitive with one of them getting jealous and feeling threatened and then having some type of make up scene. It's happened so many times and I already know that they aren't breaking up so I can't make myself feel super invested. I am grateful that after making up, they got better at communicating with each other and making it work even though they had to spend a lot of time without each other.
I love that Megumi is trying to make it work in Paris (without that creep!!) and I really feel bad that she's been struggling all this time. I hope she maybe reaches out to Rinn or that something comes up for her. I also want her to reunite with Kai and for them to get together. I hope they keep their promises. Also I love that she kept the charm thing he gave her and that in the last page, finding it seems like it will give her strength.
(Sidenote: but I really miss Kai. How is he? It's been 3 years so he must have graduated high school and maybe even college by now. What did he pick for a career? Is he still in touch with the other? Did he fall in love? And how's Ren doing? Does he still work at the gym? Is he making connections in real life and not just online? Is he in college? I miss a lot of the characters. I also wish we got to see Aiko and her life more than just the little snippets of information. Idk I just miss them)
Also I think it was really sweet that the author got pregnant when she was writing this volume and Aiko's pregnancy. It's insane that this series lasted around 8 years. So much can happen in that time. So much changes. I feel a bit bad that I read 8 years of work in around a week's time. I only have one more volume left. I honestly do feel really sad about reaching the end of everyone's stories. As frustrated as I have gotten at some of them, I really did end up getting invested in them, much to my surprise. It's going to be sad when it ends. Also, I'm nervous to see how everything wraps up, if everything can be resolved and if we will be able to say goodbye to everyone in one volume.
