i absolutely loved this book, and i loved the whole series overall, but the ending kind of throws you off. the ending is very wholesome, time skips can be very enjoyable and heartwarming, but this time skip just felt like it was pulled out of nowhere. i don’t get how they could go from talking about tamao’s past before he met mikeda, break your heart a little from how sad it is, then do a time skip. i felt like there was more potential, like more could have been done to ease into the time skip
