I can’t believe this series is over 🥺 I thought there would be more to the story between Gaku and Yuriko! 

Still, I really enjoyed the conclusion of this series. We get to experience both Gaku and Yuriko’s family, and the overlap between their perspectives of what happiness is. I really liked how central the idea of happiness was in this volume, and how it resolves with the notion that happiness is different for everyone. 

I wasn’t expecting though the drama at the end with Sousuke and his girlfriend! That was a chaotic turn 😅 However, I hope it served for him to learn that happiness isn’t always just having a girlfriend. He needed to pick better for himself. I’m also glad that his friendship with Gaku survived it all 🥺

All in all, I’m happy I picked up this series. I greatly appreciate its view into different ways of making a happy life and a family.
