Goodbye Naoto, Hayase and all your amazing friends. Your everyday school life made our real life a little more pretty. Colorful Canvas starts playing…
For the people that find it underwhelming, consider that we will also get an epilogue. IMO, ch. 154 was meant to give an end to “the present”, their school relationship, while the epilogue will have the anticipated timeskip that will give the proper end, regarding the whole story of those two.
Not one of the top chapters, but it did its job. Nagatoro watching the empty art room , and Naoto remembering some of the most memorable moment in there, are the two scenes that give me a sense of closure and nostalgia. The last panel though , and the lack of “the end” , makes it clear to me that the epilogue was meant to be the real farewell.
