Ten years into the future, the world has expanded far beyond the quiet corners of a school gymnasium.

This volume offers a breathtaking glimpse into their shared horizon, proving that the most profound love stories are those that grow steadily alongside the people living them.

A fun break after the shakeups of the previous volumes!

The book starts with a flash-forward to ten years in the future as Adachi and Shimamura are preparing to travel abroad together. It's nice to see how the girls have grown up and grown together in that time, and there are some really nice moments in the introductory chapter. The change in tone is very welcome after the high emotions of the previous volumes, and it's nice to see the pair settling into their relationship. The school trip is a big opportunity for Adachi and Shimamura to spend time together, but are they comfortable with people knowing they're together? The trip experience was really fun to read and seeing how the two girls can be so different yet complement each other so well shows Iruma is a great character writer. There's even a side character that gets some fleshing out during a personal and extremely entertaining encounter. My only complaint about this volume is some of the localization is a bit too meme-ish. While the translation is really good and faithful overall (I've read these in Japanese as well), some of the choices feel like they won't age well. Aside from that, it reads and flows very well and conveys the original author's voice.
