Another great addition to the series. I was at first taken aback by the scenery change but it grew on me. I wish there was more variety in the types of journeys the characters go on and maybe some more clever intertwining that I feel like is characteristic of the author. Also there were a few loose ends that I wanted to tie up but I guess that’s what the next book is for!

Godammit Kawaguchi why did you break my heart with that ending? Like sure I guess I should’ve known that it wasn’t possible but like I never thought that

Nanako would actually die! Also she fought from dying because Reiji told her she would be his wife! Why Kawaguchi why? 😭

Anyhow, as always, the stories are really good at both breaking your heart and warming the leftover pieces.

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

3.0

This one was a more difficult read, especially for me at this moment. A lot of illness, death, and grief. It's still hopeful, but it was more challenging to get through.

In addition, I found this volume very repetitive, which was frustrating at times. Reminders can be helpful on occasion, especially when there are multiple story lines and characters, but the amount of reminders about what <b>just</b> happened were not necessary. (Maybe a bit due to the translation?)

I still recommend the series, and will continue on to book 4!

My favourite of the series, the action is transplanted to Nagare’s mother’s café in Hakodate. A gentle and subtle read- still cried tho

Compared to the previous books, this shows a different side of humanity where characters seek reasons to continue with life when they are at their lowest. Their objectives remain the same: to see someone in their past, but also to not live in regrets.

The ending is bittersweet. The author did not sugarcoat the circumstances but does implore you to look at things in different perspectives for the sake of your loved ones.
