~4/5
Reminiscent of the beginning of the series when Mei first made friends, the group goes on a trip to the beach. Only this time, it’s not so awkward and a lot more fun and carefree, with each of them paired off in a couple. It’s sweet and relaxing, something all of them need. Mei and Yamato are particularly adorable in this volume.
In the background, we see Ren, and how he’s starting to form light feelings for Mei. And then we get to see how Rin and Kai are doing. Rin is a bright girl, dramatic and optimistic, but it’s obvious that Kai doesn’t like her the way she likes him. Things aren’t working out so well. We especially see it when Kai has scars and Rin doesn’t quite know how to react. And now Megumi is back, a big change from when she left, and with an older boyfriend.
I’m still wondering what’s going to happen there. Other than that, it’s nice to see them all growing up.

I think Ren's crush on Mei is cute and I really do hope we get Yamato confronting his jealousy and talking with Mei about it in a healthy, constructive way.
I absolutely DETEST that Megumi is with a 30 year old. I hate it and how no one seemed to question it at all. And if the series ends without them breaking up and talking about how she was being horribly taken advantage of, then I'm truly going to be disappointed. I want to have faith but fuck... i really don't know.
I truly adore Kai. I don't think he ever liked Rin, the way that she liked him. I think he just knew she was a beautiful girl and felt insecure that someone like her would fall for him. I'm kinda glad they broke up but I didnt expect it to be because she saw his scars.
Seeing everyone go through some of their last high school experiences makes me feel a bit sad and also made me realize how close I am to the end of the series.
