At the end of this volume the author reveals their names. The brunette is called Soko and the blonde Chiyomi. I had hoped for another kind of ending for this story, but despite my slight disappointment, I can't help but say that this was an amazing trip. Reading about these women who have faced so many pains in their lives either because of their own decisions or others was exciting. Just like watching the two of them arguing, fighting and hurting each other as they tried to understand their feelings and understand one another. A great trip, and although the end did not please me, I can't give less then 5 stars to this.
