sakamichi no apollon volume 9
I found it in Kinokuniya today (didn't expect it to be this soon!), and of course I bought it!
I overreacted a lot on IRC while reading it, and even if I tried to write a review now I don't think I'll make any sense, so I'll stick this under a cut
Volume 5 used to be my favorite volume, but this is THE BEST VOLUME. srs.
THE ENDING IS PERFECT. THE LAST PAGE IS THE VERY PARAGON OF PERFECTION.
And you know how tricky endings are! In fact, this is the best written ending I have ever seen.
There were awesome times, funny times, and truly depressing moments. But MY GOD this volume brought out the best in Kaoru. The developments in the plot were so well-paced, it delivered an emotional rush without exaggerating action. And watching all the other characters like Seiji-kun and Sentarou's siblings grow up and realize their dreams is the most asdfghjlj'; LOVELY thing.
And I realize that it is so good, I don't want to spoil it for anyone at all.
I hope everyone can get to read it soon! And this better be in the anime!
