[Angelica · Rating 3 out of 5]

These are the final chapters of Miharu’s journey. There is so much pain and fear and growing up that happens, and the first time through I hated it. Now, a decade or so later, I get it… and I realize that anything else would have seemed wrong and untrue to the journeys of that the characters went on.

I also liked the inclusion of the secondary characters stories in the form of a comic, an illustrated story and two narrative outlines. It really helps to tie everything together.
