For a 6-volume series, this managed to have no loose ends and a satisfying conclusion on all fronts? That never happens! I am so happy that I picked up this series!
If you don't know, this is the final volume of Shizu and Tetsu's story. Tetsu takes a job housekeeping and finds himself falling for the beautiful mystery of a girl who lives there, Shizu. When his first confession of love goes awry, he learns that Shizu is not just hidden away for no reason. She has a group of ghosts that borrow her body!
This series follows that premise to every emotional high and low. I cried, I was shocked, I was fearful, I smiled, and I laughed. Not one plot thread was lost, and, in actuality, all plot threads ended in a perfect finalizing bow. The storytelling was impressive, the characters lovable, the relationships and emotions realistic beyond belief. The art! The art was gorgeous and subtle and so emotive. It has been a while since I felt so at peace with a manga ending.
Series: 5☆ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Volume: 5☆ ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED OBVIOUSLY

Beautiful story, beatiful ending. I loved seeing Shizu's growth throughout the series and the characters that supported her since day one. Not only was I invested to the two main characters lives' but to a lot of side characters as well. The ending especially tugged at my heartstrings

Probably should not have read this while next to my sleeping grandma in hospice care. I cried. A lot.

I would recommend this series! It is quick. It will (mostly likely if you're human) make you cry. And it is so sweet - the art is also beautiful.
