Not a very long review, I just want to put my thoughts out to the world. :D
This was yet another magnificent volume, though I do wonder how long the series will continue. Sawako is now in her last year, she is preparing (as are her friends) for entrance exams and future things. Maybe the manga will continue later with them in college, but I don't know, it just feels like the author is tying up the last strings, finishing the last things. Maybe I am wrong, but that is the impression I get from this (and also the last few) volume(s).
Like with the other volumes we see Sawako and Kazehaya, but also Chizu and Ryu, and (YES YES YES) Ayane and Pin. Well, OK the last one is just a hope of mine, but considering the hints that were thrown in this (and also other) volume(s), I am just hoping that they will get together when Ayane graduates. They would just make the perfect couple, they have real chemistry and their moments (though sparingly) are just soooooo cute and sweet (though of course, often Pin just ruins it by doing something, arghhhh. I do hope that it is just Pin being worried about the direction this thing is taking, and not his normal prank-a-lot personality).
Ryu and Chizu's relationship is really flying, and I am delighted to see it, it took them so long and now they are finally together (though it is still awkward for both).
Of course Sawako and Kazehaya's relationship, and Sawako's growth to be more mature is the most important part of the manga, and I do love them together, however it felt a bit weird and off in this one. They are celebrating their 1 year anniversary, and they have a lot of cute moments, but it just feels forced and out of place. It is a shame.
The ending made me afraid for a bit, I won't say what happened, but Boy I was thinking they were going to do x, but instead something else happened. Thankfully!
I will be eagerly awaiting the next volume, I just hope that we see more romance with Kazehaya and Sawako. (Come on guys you have been together for a year, kiss already or at least kiss more!)

Kazehaya! You gotta let the girl speak her mind and stop trying to finish her sentence!! Sheesh!

Go go go Chizu and Ryu!! Stay together and support each other! ✊️✊️✊️✊️
My heart still aches when I see Kento or Ayane, or Kento and Ayane together. I can't move on yet 😢😢 I just feel like they're still hurting too (but recovering slowly).
I'm worried about the main couple because I feel like a misunderstanding is happening again. Why can't they just say it? But after reading 24 volumes of this manga, I'm sure there is a reason behind it- some convoluted reason 🙄😂
Nevertheless I can't wait to get ahold of the next volume to read what happens next- o can't believe that this manga is still ongoing! 😅😅

Un tomo donde salen a la luz cierras verdades y se conmemora el aniversario de los protagonistas. Cada vez se nota más que se acerca el final. Con el habrá lágrimas 😭

Is it me or is there a tension between Yano and Pin?? I've been feeling this from volume 20, I guess. Actually, even before that. Pin is really hot though and it would be so cool because Pin isn't that old and all... Yano and Pin... hmmm... Cute!
Chizu and Ryuu... finally... eeek! So cute! So cute!
Shota and Sawako... oops! I think something bad is brewing between them... I hope it's not too bad! Shota is just okay with Sawako attending another university. It is obvious he doesn't want to be separated from her and neither does Sawako. But Shota misunderstanding her again is not going to be good this time.
Now I can read the chapters 100 and 101. Rest, I'll have to wait till they are available online. I'm wondering, should I read the next two chapters or wait till more chapters come out online.

3.5/5 Volume 24 celebrates Shota and Sawako’s one year of dating. Also their final school festival before graduation. The plot is still a nice slice of life romance story and I still really enjoy the characters. It’s just starting to feel a little drawn out. Only 6 volumes left though.
Shota on the cover this time.

Yay, it's a plot advancement volume this time. A slow, barely perceptible advancement, but as long as time keeps moving forward in the story, we're sure to get to the end of the damned series eventually.

Such a great volume! I didn't expect to get all emotional at the end! LOL! I suppose it's because we are really starting to see how much these two love each other. Not just LIKE, but LOVE.
It was also a really fun volume because of the school festival! I'm so proud of a few certain characters who embraced their dream and what they wanted to do, despite if they were unsure of what was happening around them. I'm hoping Sawako realizes the same thing? Maybe she has, but I can't help but feel she wants to be elsewhere…
Onto devouring 25 and hoping this time I won't cry! LOL!

That hug! sorry it just we knew how hard Kazehaya trying to hold himself back and trying to be supportive for Sawako but when he does that kind of thing, it only makes him more adorable. You know, I'm really proud and glad of Sawako's growth (along with the rest of the group) from a class outcast to a class mascot that adored by her classmate.

my babies have been together a year in this volume and it was their last school festival 🤧

Ya que Chizu le diga a Ryu que se esfuerze, que lo va a extrañar y todo, pero que ella lo quiere aún así.
Me gusta lo distintos que son los personajes y lo reales que se sienten, en serio.

TBH I’m freaking out… because even after a year of dating, Sawako still can get her shit together and be upfront about what she really wants or what she wants to say.
I loved those little moments of build up and romance from the other side characters.
I want to keep reading right now but gotta go to bed now

In questo volume torna alla ribalta la nostra coppia principale. E siccome non vogliamo farci mancare niente, ecco l'ennesimo problema comunicativo tra i due. Il festival scolastico segna anche il loro primo anniversario come coppia: è interessante notare come siano cambiati i rapporti tra Sawako e il resto dei compagni, con la ragazza che ormai è diventata parte integrante della classe, tanto da meritarsi il titolo di MVP del festival. Un bel passo avanti rispetto agli anni precedenti.
Anche con Shota le cose vanno bene (i due fanno venire le carie ai denti dalla troppa dolcezza), ma anche su di loro aleggia la questione "futuro". Un po' come è accaduto con Ayane, anche Sawako sta puntando a una strada più semplice, ovvero frequentare la stessa università del fidanzato, quando forse il posto giusto per lei è a Sapporo insieme a Kurumi. Visti i molti impegni, i due piccioncini provano a incontrarsi tutte le mattine prime dell'inizio delle lezioni in modo da passare un po' di tempo insieme. Ma Kazehaya è sempre più stanco, tanto che finisce per sentirsi male durante il festival. Per non farlo affaticare troppo, Sawako gli fa notare che non è più il caso di vedersi la mattina...ma Shota la interpreta in modo diverso, parlando apertamente della possibilità di frequentare università separate. Ancora una volta i due non si sono capiti (anche se probabilmente hanno ragione entrambi) e ancora una volta troviamo una Sawako in lacrime. Ergo, prepariamoci a un nuovo momento drama, anche se spero vivamente che sia l'ultimo.
Angst in arrivo anche per la coppia Ryu/Chizu, con la ragazza che non vuole separarsi da lui e che non riesce a sostenere il sogno del fidanzato. Se non altro, Chizu ha fatto ordine nei suoi sentimenti. Piccoli passi avanti.

Who doesn’t love a school festival? Nothing like long hours outside of school working with your classmates and sleep deprivation to see some truths revealed!
This manga continues to hint at chemistry between Ayane and Pin, and while I feel the sadness about her breakup with Kento, I’m not mad that it might let her explore liking someone/Pin of her own volition and outside of the context of asking someone out. She doesn’t even need to date Pin (though it would be niiiice), she just needs to realize she might like him.
Otherwise this volume was more focused on Sawako and Shota, maybe even a tiny bit more Shota-focused. He’s clearly over exerting himself but they are both worried about the other but they both LOOOVE each other. I have faith. They will figure it out.

It is hard to know how to rate this; not a lot happens, and it is very detailed about the exact shades of every emotion the characters are having, sometimes lingering for panels and panels over one feeling. I don't dislike that, exactly, but it felt a little... uncomfortable, maybe; there are so many moments where I wish they would just really listen to each other, instead of guessing and leaping ahead. But then there were some really fun parts; I liked

My children Kaze and Sawako are so sweet! One year of dating XD I can't believe this beautiful manga comes to an end :(
Anyway, this volume is about their last school festival. Sawako as a school teacher looks so nice XD She grew up so much, she is popular but still as cute as ever ^_^
Chizu and Ryu... she is hilarious when she is alone with him. He doesn't give a damn but she is always flustered XD and she hates to be like that but he finds her cute <3
Something is going on between Ayane and Pin. Go Pin! He looks handsome with his hair down (*o*)

After a novel of angst we get a novel of fluff, and well deserved as well. It's the one year anniversary of Sawako and Kazehaya's relationship, but still everyone's working so hard towards their future that this is kind of a secondary concern. Still, they both enjoy their time, and the usual shenanigans and cutesy moments follow.

El festival escolar ha llegado y con ello el primer aniversario de Kazehaya y Kuronuma.
Pin es guapo, no sé por qué usa ese peinado extraño.
Sus disfraces del futuro les reveló algunos sueños .
En serio Kazehaya es muy perspicaz, ahora entiendo por qué ese ambiente extraño que percibía en él, sabe el verdadero anhelo de Kuronuma, que va a pasar con ellos

The last couple of pages scared me. It’s been one year since Sawako and Kazehaya started dating and while they have made great strides in their relationship they still have work to do. I love them anyways. Now, moving onto Chizu and Ayane … I am loving the direction they both are going! So excited for them.

This volume is so much fun to read! Banyak momen yang membuat tersenyum meski ending-nya agak bikin khawatir huhu. Aku penasaran banget bagaimana akhir dari series ini nanti... tapi di saat yang sama gak ingin pisah terlalu cepat.
PS. Btw festival sekolah di Jepang itu kelihatannya asik banget ya. Apalagi kalau akrab dengan teman-teman sekelas kayak mereka.

Me han encantado las interacciones de Ayane con Pin (hair down + Dracula Pin was >>>) y las de Chizu con Ryu (ese beso robado socorro).
Sin embargo, los mometo de Sawako con Kazehaya iban viento en popa hasta que el muchacho la ha tenido que malentender (again) por no dejarla hablar. En fin, menos mal que creo que este será su último malentendido...

Aquí están las 5 estrellas solo por Chizu & Ryu, amo su historia chorrocientos mil veces más que la de Sadako & Kazehaya en este instante, además, les metieron un mega drama por la elección de universidades que fastidió.

Ese momento de tu vida en el que tiene que tomar la decisión de madurar y ser capaz de sacrificar algunas cosas que son importantes para ti...
Sawako y Shouta cada vez tendrán que enfrentar nuevos obstáculos.
