University, for me, was a time to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and who, precisely, I was (it turns out that ‘geek’ was still the answer, which I probably mentioned ages ago). I think this series nails that vibe while telling a great story of a complicated romance.
Saeko and Miwa’s story has been their story, their own separate stories, and then it finally ended as… wherever we find them at the start of this final volume. Mostly with graduation looming and no idea what that means.
I also think this volume drops a lot of truths that are universal, or at least ones that I have felt in my ancient bones over the years. There are two separate ones that felt important, but they both dealt with acceptance that things aren’t always perfect.
Interestingly, both of them come from Saeko, who struggles with choosing to do one thing over the other. She initially resists joining the workforce because, to her, that means becoming boring and giving up on your dreams.
What happens, however, is that this leads her to something better, even if that also includes a regular old job. There are still ways to express yourself and feel fulfilled even within the lines of regular life and this makes a good case for that.
The other issue is the reality that relationships always tend to burn hot and then settle into a baseline as life goes on. That’s just… how it goes, for most people. Learning to recognize that is something else that I think has been essential in forming healthy relationships in my own life.
With life lessons out of the way, let’s discuss this final volume in terms of Miwa and Saeko figuring themselves out yet again. I like that Saeko is ‘once bitten, twice shy’, but Miwa is able to correctly recognize that both of them have grown up over the years since they separated.
Sure, some of that was hard learning - Miwa’s depression phase was one of the roughest I have ever seen depicted - but it has absolutely changed things for them. Except for one crucial point - they still love one another a whole bunch.
Getting them back to realizing that involves a lot of flirting, some sex, and even a couple of great arguments. But by the time they have a couple of truly awkward confessions, no shojo standards here, they’ve already become a running joke with their friends over their relationship status.
Despite any misgivings on their part, the truth is that Miwa and Saeko are better together and this has been a long, wonderful series about them coming around to that fact. It nails the university vibe and all the drama that comes with it, plus all the learning and life experience.
The denouement is very strong, a nice trip through the most important players in the story and some who were… less so… If I had a quibble it would be with the resolution of Usshi’s story. I know asexual people who went pretty much this exact route, but I liked her ace representation as it was. That’s a minor point though.
And we get a little into the issues of same sex couples in Japan, just a smidgen, to remind us that a happy ending for a real world series like this doesn’t come completely free of any complications. Fantastic coming out scene though.
I loved this series. It went on a rollercoaster of a story and it was never because it didn’t make sense or just wanted to come up with some ridiculous twist. It felt grounded and real in a way a lot of yuri are not. It’s one of those stories where I feel the term yuri barely does it justice.
5 stars - great ending, great series, absolutely killed it and fourteen volumes was the perfect amount. For actual lesbian manga I’d put this up there with Even Though We’re Adults, which was another one I felt did it right. And both of them are top tier series in my personal favourites list.

In the end, both Miwa and Saeko successfully secure jobs, and the two decide to start dating once again.
When I read volume 1, I never imagined the story would arrive at a conclusion like this, which makes the ending feel especially moving.
Throughout the series, they repeatedly grew close, drifted apart, became involved with other people, and even fell into emotionally heavy situations. Yet the finale delivers a wonderfully happy and satisfying resolution.
I also loved the mirrored dialogue: in volume 1, Miwa says, “I guess I could go out with you,” while in the final volume, Saeko is the one who says that line. It’s a small but meaningful touch that beautifully closes the circle of their story.
Having followed them through four years of college life, it almost feels as if I spent that time alongside them. A deeply satisfying conclusion to the series.
