This was so cute and a great resolution to the series. I loved how they were able to grow outside and in their relationship. Also, like that it was with older women as it is always late teens early twenties. (24 and 30) Overall loved the series and its slower/medium pace.

as an aroace lesbian this series is so personal to me i loved it so much like the representation is everything. because both of them are aroace. reminding everyone that it means LITTLE to no attraction which is perfect and it works for both characters. i love them.

Wow, there's a lot to love about the final volume of Shio Usui's Doughnuts Under A Crescent Moon. I was sure it'd take longer to get here, since it's been a pretty slow burn so far, and it seems like neither Asahi nor Hinako were very comfortable with their feelings.
I really loved the scenes with Hinako's mother, adding a bit of depth to that relationship; I feel like a bit more time was needed on that, because she was introduced in person so suddenly, and it didn't feel like she matched up with the version of her we've been seeing overshadowing Hinako. In a way, that's how people are, though -- the shadows something casts don't always look exactly like the thing that cast them. The scenes were really sweet and necessary.
And I loved the fact that both Asahi and Hinako seem to be explicitly romantically interested in each other, but asexual. There's no skirting around their love for each other, but also no skirting around the fact that Hinako's made it pretty plain she's not interested in kissing, and doesn't understand that kind of love.
The whole series came as a bit of a surprise to me, and I'm really glad I gave it a shot.
