This series maintains a consistent high quality with regard to story line and characters. Another year of training is coming to an end, and the reader is getting to know more about the characters' lives before they came to school. This volume focuses primarily on Marika (who has had a very strange and terrible life); Shu, who wants to live his own life on his own terms; and Mr. Lion.

These books capture every kind of sadness you can have, including the happy kind. This one looks at a friendship Mr Lion had when he was alive. I like the subtle exploration of really deep themes, like the guilt people carry around with them when a friend has died. This volume also gives more clues about Marika's mysterious past. As with all other volumes, the story is slow but interesting and emotionally engaging.
And...once again, this series has managed to make me cry. Lots of great moments in this one: Asumi and the others going back for Marika, the origami stars, watching the meteor shower. But my favorite bit was definitely the episode about Mr. Lion and his childhood friend.
