Aoki and Ida are studying hard so they can get into the same college but Aoki is really struggling and graduation is just around the corner.

Yeeeaaahh, the super-deformed is back to it’s creepiness. I mean, look at this:

I could easily see this exact panel in a Junji Ito manga. It is NOT something I would want to look at for very long.

Aside for that, I have to complain about a little spoilery type deal. There is an amnesia plot here that seems to only exist to cram in some final drama before tossing it aside as a dream before getting to the real ending. I would have MUCH rather had more time exploring how the characters feel, seeing them interact, getting more hints at their future… It was so sweet and clean aside for that aside. That was disappointing but at least the actual end is good. 3.9 out of 5.

Morio and Yukiko are getting along well and their relationship is growing. Yukiko would like her friend Sora, who is also visually impaired, to be friends with Morio but Sora is hesitant to accept him.

Yukiko’s friends and classmates are hilarious and some much needed levity as this volume gets dark. Sora is a runner and that fact is used to show how a visually impaired person goes for a run; both with a guide and without. Where it gets dark is someone is deliberately leaving things for her to trip over. When they find out who it is and why he’s doing it, it’s messed up. It went darker than I expected it to go. Trigger warning for abuse. 4 out of 5.
