be right back I'm going to go curl up in a ball and cry for a while oh my gosh.

I loved (almost) everything about this volume!!! (I say "almost" mainly because of naoka... that girl genuinely makes my blood boil.) one of my biggest complaints about the film was that we didn't really gain insight into the nishimiya family dynamic and past, including how they found out about and responded to shoko's deafness, so finally getting to see that in this volume was equally exciting and devastating.

I know it's only going to get worse from here on out (by "worse" I mean even more emotionally tumultuous) so I have my tissues at the ready.

Trigger Warning: Death

In this volume, the gang goes to the carnival fair for rides and food. Noaka and Shoko ride the ferris wheel and have an unpleasant interaction. This volume dives a little into the Nishimiya Family’s past - how they reacted to finding out Shoko was deaf and how their mother became a single mom. It also shows how kind and gentle granny is.

This volume shows my deeper hatred for Naoka. I don’t understand how everyone is still dealing with her and her ridiculousness. I’m hoping there may be some kind of character redemption arc or something but I’m not holding my breath for it either…

We also learn so much more about Granny and her relationship with the women of the Nishimiya’s family and it’s so heartbreaking.

I was told this was a sad manga, now I know why!

Still can’t wait for the next volume. I’m just glad I found them after they all came out, but having to wait after each volume would have been a killer.
