VIDEO REVIEW HERE: https://youtu.be/ZPA4zZqPkRA
Sort of in shock this is the second to last volume.
That's not what I wanted to say for my review originally, but it hit me once I closed this volume.
I don't feel I'm ready to say goodbye…
This was an emotional volume but it felt deeper than the previous volumes? Maybe not as much as deeper as more of it wasn't saddening?
Now don't get me wrong, this volume had a HUGE sad point but again, it's different than before. While this series may have a lot typical shojo drama and angst, the mangaka doesn't shy away from heart-hitting topics. The more we've come to know about Yuzu's mom, the more my feelings have changed towards her.
In this volume, I would say it was overwhelming compassion. And even for Yuzu too! While he's not a boy anymore, he is still a young man who is dealing with grief in his own way. His mother is too but the impact of her grief is hard to see from the perspective as a mom and everything Yuzu has gone through because of it.
I was thankful that their scenes did not end in depressing heartbreak and that hope is on the horizon. <3
I LOVED things with Momo and Nino and how truly it circles back to the beginning! What an impact!! These two are such different people and while I have not always loved their decisions throughout the series, I really really liked how things came back to what they were, but different. (Trying to keep that vague because #nospoilers.)
Sweet moments with Kuro!! While I have LOVED Haruyoshi and Miou (and was SO happy we had more time with them!), Kuro's "romance" has truly been the most satisfying. I would love to say more on this because out of everyone who seemed the happiest, his smile definitely at times was just a mask. I'm glad that mask finally came off. <3
Overall, this was a good volume! Lots of heavy themes (but not in a bad way) that really left an impression!

I can’t believe the next volume is the last! This volume of Anonymous Noise was a tear-jerker! Made me cry and made me swoon. ☺️

Another promising volume! It was nice seeing the other members of In No Hurry come out of their comfort zone and pursue new things as well. Anyway, I can't believe this is the penultimate volume! Sometimes I'm surprised I've read this far but if the last 3 volumes were any indication, I'm hoping for a really satisfying conclusion from this series.

2nd to last volume in the series! Ahhhh!

just getting everyone coupled up SIGH justice for yuzu

So the next volume is the last one and Anonymous Noise is doing what a lot of shojo series do. Which is having everyone finally confess their love for whoever and pair up so everyone gets their happy ending, which I hate that since it's so unrealistic.
Of course the final volume can have Nino not end up with either guy. But what is the obsession with having these series ending with everyone paired up? These are high school kids how many of us find our One True Love at 16?
When I think back to being 16 and those relationships I couldn't imagine wanting to spend forever with any of those guys. And not because there was anything wrong with them. But at that age you barely know who you are let alone know who you want to spend the rest of your life with.
God, I sound so damn bitter. I don't care. I wish everyone pairs up wasn't a trope that shojo runs on.
Long story short: I need to stop looking for reality in the manga I read.

Aww, Othello/Grayish hit number one🤍
Nine parts milk and one part coffee😂
Wow! A challenge between two music prodigies.👏
Nice, so, Miou loves Haruyoshi more than Yuzu now, awesome progress💛
Wow, Momo’s opening up to people like a blooming flower on a beautiful spring day🌿
I always forgot that Yuzu’s real first name is Kanade🤭
Aww, Yuzu’s mom finally snap back to reality🥺
Miou and Haruyoshi are so cute together💕
Kuro confessed his feelings toward An, yay💚
Yay! Finally, Nino heard a song Momo wrote for her and she can sing it if she decides to go for it.💖
Aww, a Nino and Miou duet written by Momo♥️
Momo must be ecstatic to have a session with Nino; him as the producer. Must be surreal on his part💖
Wah! I can’t believe that this is the 17th volume already🔥

I'm really happy that Yuzu makes it clear that they should do other projects while In NO Hurry is on hiatus because they all get a chance to try something different (and Nino gets to sing a song Momo wrote). The first time I've cried this entire series was the airport scene with Yuzu and his mom and it just hurts so much. Nino and Momo really work on fixing their friendship and I'm so glad they did.

"I'm really not scared of anything. I mean, this is what we're here for, right? To blow the tears right off of everyone's faces."
5 stars for the heartbreaking moments of Yuzu with his mother. And for Nino and Momo in the recording session together. I still don't like Momo. Who will Nino end up with?
Only one more volume to go. Rockin' on to the finale "Anonymous Noise"!

Almost the end of an era. I'm getting nostalgic, actually. It's been like two years since I started this, I think, and the last one is so close & I really do feel like everything's tying up together. It feels like yuzu has pushed Alice right into Momo's arms and he's accepted that, and maybe that's for the best. It's the ending we all deserve.

The highlight of this one was probably Yuzu's mom finally accepting his father's death and Momo giving his new song (a duet with Nino and Miou) to Nino to listen to, which expresses to her how it has felt for him to collaborate with her over the years. Recommended for ages 14+, 4 stars.

This was a good volume. I can't believe we are almost at the end. This volume continued to have a good plot and pace.
