I'm a bit confused on whether or not this is the end of the series. The blurb describes it as the "dramatic conclusion," there are no other published works by the creators, and the ending seems to wrap things up, but at the end, there's an author's note that says there will be a continuation. Perhaps that continuation was canceled or is taking longer than anticipated? I don't know, but it works as a complete series as is, so I'll treat it as such.

This written review serves as a review for the series as a whole:

This was not a heart-wrenching, life-changing read for me, but it was fun, engaging, and beautifully executed; the characters are loveable, the mystery is intriguing, and the artwork is impressive. It was too short and plot-focused for me to get super attached to anyone, but there are merits to a short series too. I completed this series in just two days, quick and easy, which was great for me, as I was feeling a reading slump coming on. This is the kind of manga I could see myself rereading for fun.

A good wrap up of the plot of a short manga series, and I'm sure there's plenty of short chapter books that could make note of this author/artist's ability to weave an engaging story and wrap it all up nicely at the end. The characters were all fun; their personalities were so unique and distinct it's easy to distinguish them from each other. I enjoyed each character.
