Yay! A bonus story from the point of view of Namiki's TURTLE! It just doesn't get better than this....

Kanade’s fever and cuddle time with Arou… SO CUTE!
I love the vibes of these older shojo manga series. They’re not overly cute and the drama is kept to a minimum. The characters are relatable (well except for the seeing the future/past thing lol) and you just feel like you’re part of the group!
If you like older shojo series (that aren’t overly romantic ) like this one, definitely try out VB Rose and Tears of a Lamb! I get the same vibes from those like I do this series!

Kanade gets a fever and Arou has to take care of her--it's so adorable! What I love about this series is that the characters are always rescuing and helping each other. Later, Arou is facing a painful truth about his past and Kanade shows up and helps him through it. And we finally learn why Arou's uncle came back.

Mandatory sick scene (Yes, the mandatory scenes are real in this manga series). Again, great character growth with added drama leading up into the final volume of this series and really adding some edge.

"If I could just forget...the pain wouldn't be as bad."
Not my favorite volume and I think a lot of that is because of the uncle. I really liked everything else except the last chapter, though not going to deny that the fear I felt of Eri not wanting to be around Arou was VERY real! I was horrified and on the verge of being extremely angry, but told myself to take a deep breath because if Eri can Kanade's confession, then surely she can handle the truth about Arou??
The opening chapter was super moving and honestly wanted to give Namaki a hug. NEVER thought I would say that because of how often he frustrates me, but it was a deeply moving chapter and so thankful for Kanade and Arou being in his life! <3
I LOVED the chapter where Kanade had a fever! The romance is always subtle in this series, but that chapter was perfection!
I'm unsure of how the last volume will end, but I think it will end with the "truth." I'm not sure if it's a certain character's "job" to make sure the truth is shown, but I don't think there will be any stopping of the events that are unfolding. That's a little crushing to think about because one of our leads was NOT okay at the end…

One day, Namiki got a really unlucky day--bad things keep happening to him. But the next day, he got lucky all day and he receives a surprise birthday party from his friends (his brother Junya comes along too).
The next chapter is really sweet; it involves Kanade having a cold and becoming ridiculously stronger, and Aro being held captive in her arms because she wants him to lay down next to her ^__^
Later, uncle So brings Aro to his old house and forces him to remember his mother's death. I'm not sure what this jerk is trying to accomplish, because in my eyes he's just hurting Aro's mental stability. Fortunately, Kanade is around to calm Aro and make him feel better.
