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

Those old biddies need to chill out and stop gossiping about children. Yeesh.

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.

Ok, all this sword BS with InuYasha has been the worst part of the story. It's only now that
Kikyo is dead
that Kagome get's any kind of arc to get stronger. Although I suppose if more time was spent on her getting stronger the story would be a lot shorter. 

I have the final volume ready to start, this grievance aside, I have really enjoyed reading this series this year. The manga is a lot more fast paced, less filler. I've been very slowly buying copies of this series, and I hope to own the rest.

A lot of cute stuff happened in this volume. I hope these boys start being more honest with themselves and each other in the next volume.

Good for Yuna for putting Rio in his place. I've been loving her character growth. 
Also, the ending was quite a shock, almost more shocking than the previous volume.
