Ugh the fact Honoka and Kariu have been taking care of Hishiro this chapter for her precious date... ;w; it just makes it all the more tragic with them forgetting Hishiro next year.. TAT I love their friendship, don't take it away from us!!
With how much Arata and Hishiro has been talking about Arata's hometown (winter fireworks, fishing, etc) I hope that Hishiro was able to visit his hometown after they got together and see those!
