We are SO excited for this arc. What may not have been obvious to a lot of readers is that the series has been canonically stuck in winter for roughly 4 years now.
HOWEVER, with Valentine's approaching, that means that we are in MID-FEBRUARY. WHICH MEANS IT'S ALMOST MARCH.
The reason why this is significant is that the series ends in the spring, at graduation, so THIS IS HUGE.
It's almost comical how something this small can feel like such a big deal lol.
