My Rating: ★★★★★

When Shiori learns that her father had an accident, she finds herself returning home. However, this trip is different, as it’s become a family vacation where she’s also decided to tell her mom her wishes. Plus, things are getting serious between Shiori and Ichiro, and they’ve begun to seriously think about the future together. Between her love life, new friendships, and budding career, Shiori has confirmed that she never wants to return to the island again. Too bad her mom keeps running away every time she tries to have a conversation with her!

I’ve been loving this series a lot more than I thought I would! Things are really picking up speed now that Shiori has confirmed what she always knew, which is that she doesn’t want to return to the island she grew up on. It’s been great to see her truly blossom now that she’s built a life for herself and she’s no longer lonely. I love seeing her make friends with ease, embrace new things, and continue her journey as an artist and storyteller.

It was really nice to learn more about Shiori’s past as well as the rest of the story behind the Star People. I loved learning more about everyone and seeing the dynamic between her parents when she’s not looking. I like that we see that there’s a chance at Shiori and her parents having a better relationship in the future even if her mom doesn’t necessarily like her decision to not embrace life as her heir. 

It was fun to see Ichiro not be the leading character of the volume, so we got to see him loosen up and have a little more fun in ways that makes sense for him. I’m happy with the character growth and worldbuilding we’ve seen along the way as well as in this volume. While his story as well as the romance is predictable, it’s very cute and heartwarming, so I’m excited to see everyone’s happily ever after that’s coming up in the final volume.
