Goodreads Synopsis:
"I LOVE YOU." After
travelling down different paths in their post-secondary educations, Mei
and her friends finally enter the world of working adults—with new
challenges around every corner! As the people around Mei face
life-changing events like marriage and parenting, she reflects on her
journey from a shy, asocial high schooler to who she is now. Surrounded
by so many fulfilling relationships, Mei comes to a profound realization
about what’s important in life and love.
Review:
I think this series lost me a few volumes ago. Don't get me wrong, I
still enjoyed it, and this was a good ending. But something has just
felt off in the last few volumes.
We get to see a few side characters get their happy ending, and
those were very nice. While I would have liked something more
definite between Megumi and Kai, I do think it's fitting where they
end up, and I am happy believing that more will progress. Given that
we saw Asami and Nakanishi struggling in the last couple volumes, I
had a hard time believing their ending. It just seemed like a bad
decision to me.
I've been rooting for Mei and
Yamato this entire series, of course, so it's probably weird that
their ending feels so off to me. It just seems like they never lost
the awkwardness between them. Even when they're living together, it
feels like they're moving around each other weirdly, going out of
their way to impress each other and not just living day to day with
each other. Their decision to finally marry at the end was sweet,
yeah, but it also seemed like weird timing, I guess. If they've gone
this far, why didn't they do it before? What is it going to change
now?
On one hand, the ending is very sweet. On the other, it just felt
off, a bit awkward. I liked it, but I'm also a little disappointed. I
guess I was hoping for more, and I was hoping I would be more
satisfied with it.
