This series ended very abruptly. I would've liked to see/read about them after they made those big life-changing decisions.

There is some really sweet slow burn romance in this series. And this is the only time miscommunication works. They are kids, and kids aren't typically good at articulating what they want all the time.

I would prefer Yuna not to be so insecure, but I also get it. I was that insecure teen. But it is starting to get old.  Akari and Kazuo need to talk, just talk.

Why didn't they get to kiss in the manga?!

I've loved reading this series for the first time this year.
