Finally, we come to the closure of this series. A very lovely and wholesome one. This series started with them in school and ended with all of them graduated. Poetic. We finally see sensei in her most beautiful form. And I also love how they reconcile with Yuu and have her go the graduation as well. When Kuyo recives her diploma and when Asashi and Yuu give sensei the flower bouquet, I seriously cant hold back my tears man . . . ｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡

I seriously didnt expect sensei would appear again. A really amazing icing on the cake. "I wont let you go alone" she still stands to her words! And this page, in my opinion, is the best of this series both of them finally come to understand what their existence mean and be gratitude towards each other. Sensei also does feel like a very great mother figure for Kuyo.

Lastly we can see the biggest visual character development of Asashi. Not only she grows her hair long, she style it to look like kuyo, and use sensei's and Kuyo's hair ribbon color as well! (ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ)

Definetely a masterpiece in my list

Speedstar scanlation, thank you so much for your hardwork in scanlating this. And of course, Yukimiya Arisa sensei for making this lovely and wholesome series.

Now, please excuse this grown ass man crying in the corner of his room.

If I really need to nitpick tho. Like, I have to veeeery very very nitpick. In the panel which shows their photos. Since theres a timeskip between ch 17 and 18, I wish we get to see more of their photos when all four of them goes out on field trip together, goes somewhere fun, have some fun, like "live together". The first page those photos are shown, Kiyo and sensei arent visible. But in the next page, theyre visible. Giving a bit duality in those two pages, because the author was able to do that for the chapter 14 which we can see what happened in the timeskip gap in the form of photos. Pretty smart in my opinion

This series must ended at vol3. If it would have more volume, i am sure the mangaka would love to do it. But no more slot for that to conclude the story. Kinda sad

It ended beautifully ngl. There were no loose ends and cast got a satisfying farewell. This is a nice dessert.

Now please excuse this grown ass old man who will go cry to sleep alone in his room
