A satisfying conclusion in intention, but less so in execution. Everything seems to unpack like a whirlwind, with little time and space for physical moments to linger. The emphasis on sitting within the protagonist's reflective position gives its entirety a warranted warmth, but I wished the plotting and character dynamics were better drawn out as it builds towards a cathartic fulfilment. I admire what the series represents, with evidence of gratitude towards its influence, no matter what criticisms or expectations I brought to the reading, it was never going to get in the way of my general appreciation.

OHMIIGAWSH! This is my favorite manga series ever and I'm so sad that its over. I have put this off long enough because I didn't want to be done done with it but, this last volume gave me everything that I needed and more. I was at first disappointed that it was so much shorter than the other volumes but it still left me fully satisfied. I am proud to say I have got many people hooked on this series and it delivers from start to finish in everyone. The story wrapped up so beautifully, I got teary eyed reading it (and any other time I think about it if I'm being totally honest). These character's will forever live on in my heart. Thank you Akiko Higashimura, and you're welcome to everyone I've recommended to read this.

So... I finished the Princess Jellyfish already as soon as I bought this. But the extra stuff took time. I really enjoyed that too. And I loved how PJ ended. Also there is a sneak peak of Tarareba Girls, which I'm now wondering if it exists in English. Might be even more my thing than PJ. But all in all, it was nice to find manga I actually like :)

The ending was so good but super rushed another volume would have been great.
Really hated that the amars never got their shit together, like never got it in their head that they were gonna lose their place, one thing is being anxious but they were so fucking lazy lol

I liked it; but I just can't decide how I feel about the ending.
