I'm really enjoying how this manga portrays the passage of time for these high schoolers (most other manga it's just 1st year->some timeskip bs or w/e->end, so I really appreciate this). The first set of 3rd years were really good and the second set with Nagano, Heijirou are also great in their own way. Now seeing Taira have a friendly banter with the DL 3rd years then weep in what is his final summer, you realize this is it for them and it's pretty emotional. I'm gonna miss them.
Also what the fuck Hinoki.
