Nene’s best friend Aoi has been trapped on the Far Shore—but to Hanako-kun, who has been worrying for ages over how to save Nene from her rapidly approaching death, this turn of events might be exactly what he needs. The moment a girl must be offered up as a sacrifice inches ever closer...
Had to put this volume down and have a little sob twice. Goddamn. My overall rating for this series so far is 3-4 stars but this one hit me where it hurt like it hasn't since Skywise and Cutter. No lovesick pining, we feel the gaping black hole of sorrow open in our chests and have a subtle, creeping breakdown like men.
I feel so bad for Akane, Nene, and Kou. Don't wanna spoil so I'll just leave it at that. That last chapter was really creepy though. Looking forward to the next arc
Why does it hurt so much? Wow. I've never had a series get me to feel so sad and tug at my heartstrings so fast. This volume is the king of hurt/comfort and I found myself tearing up not once but twice in this volume alone. Everything is timed so well, the pain is felt without any words and when the characters do speak it feels like my heart is breaking in tiny pieces. Absolutely phenomenal volume and one of my favorites.
Well, this volume was about GRI EF. I love Kou, he has such genuine reactions and I feel like he’s the most down to earth character even though he’s the more “immature” one, he’s complex in a really low-key way. Kou is definitely my favorite character in the manga, how I wish we could dig up more of what he’s thinking/feeling at this point in the story.
i had hoped ever since we met mitsuba that we'd meet his family or have some kind of backstory like this!!! this volume was AMAZING even if it was lowkey kind of filler!!!! UGH my heart...
Junge, das ist schon wieder so ein Plottwist, mit dem ich gar nicht gerechnet habe, mega gut und so dramatisch - fast schon ein wenig drüber :D. Aber yes, das war richtig gut. Und dann noch mehr von Mitsuba 😭😭😭😭 urgh, das war so traurig alles. Der Band war wieder richtig gut.
Minamoto Teru the man you are... Nie wiem co on odwalał tutaj momentami i trochę mu nie ufam ale i tak jest piękny, cała kreska w ogóle w tym komiksie jest piękna
‘mitsuba is really gone.. isn’t he?’ NOOOO ITS SO UPSETTING THAT THE SUPERNATURALS ARE GONE
the way Hanako disappeared- we all thought nene was going to slap him but instead she held onto him and said - ‘please don’t go.’ that’s top tier tragic romance. and he did everything it took to fix her short lifespan problem. hanako x Yashiro 🔛🔝
alright, Yashiro and Kou visiting Mitsuba’s house had me screaming and crying and bawling tears (not literally, but in my head i was). it breaks my heart how tragic everything is- when did this stop being a silly cute comedy toilet manga? i literally just want to see Kou and Mitsuba get a happy ending, same with Yashiro and Hanako.
even the whole thing with Sousuke Mitsuba and the Hell of Mirrors Mitsuba- it serves as a reminder that the Mitsuba that died as a human won’t come back and that’s just so upsetting to read. tbh tho school wonder 3 mitsuba is way better ngl..
anyway baby tsukasa popping up at the end 🔫 even though it’s not the evil tsukasa we know and hate, i can’t imagine kou’s reaction to seeing him.
excited to continue this reread <3
