Like the raws.
The clock winds back further. When will it stop? Well I hope not soon.

The face she made on page 12 after they explained the entire story... It looks uh annoyed? Depressed? I don't know she doesn't look happy about it.

And oh no did her partner pass away? Looks like were in for another depressing story that goes with these damn letters.

I swear almost every backstory hasn't ended oh a high note I hope her and Kasumi can be happy together by the end of this series. (At least none of them seem to still be together after graduating don't want that to happen to these two. Or am I wrong? I should go back and reread this entire series lol).

Thanks for the translate and upload as always

Ya, definitely sounding like a depressing one. I guess we haven't gotten one like that yet.

Please don't be toxic!!!

Box cutter couple is still together in college.

I'd go with "depressive reminiscing"

Ah you're right! after I said that I thought I remember one of them still together.

"wistful" also sounds fitting

The model and the lay back girl got together too, even though they meet for the first time after leaving high school. It was probably the sweetest story of them all.

rather than box cutters and sunflowers this one feels like it will be distinctly bittersweet. Perhaps the box cutters were used to cut a sunflower and preserve it through drying....

Page 15 omg..... omg.....

Whelp, I was hoping after the last arc was heavy, we were due for a lighter one, but it seems like we're hopping on the train to Sadness-town.

I'm guessing the librarian's "secret partner" passed away; I just hope their story at least involves them having a number of happy years making a life together before that point.

I secretly hope that her partner got married after highschool, and that's why she thinks they can't meet. And now that girl is divorced and that they can get together now.

Sayori and Mizuki (boxcutter couple) are together after high school and up to their regularly scheduled (freaky) hijinks, their latest side story was about them planning about how to split the housework when they move in together! (and still, being the freakiest couple of them all)

Kayoko and Mia is probably the most happy story out of all the backstories, and they're still very much together. A very innocent start exchanging letters, a long and wistful wait until the emotional reunion, a cute cafe date with a lot of reminiscing and a fun trip in the sun to a sunflower field? What more could you ask for?

I'd say the only story that didn't end on quite a high note is Shizuku's story (Shizuku is Aoyama's first name), but she doesn't have a bad ending - or an ending for that matter, more like a new and true beginning. She's made peace with her past, and now will be free to figure things out on her own after she graduates, free from the shadow of Yurika and the blind romanticising of that relationship.

As for Haruyo and Kasumi, they've both mentioned a desire to continue their relationship beyond graduation after seeing Sayori and Mizuki stay together after high school (see ch12). It's still early days for them and they have quite a bit of time left in the school system to carve out their bond even further, so we shall see. It's definitely looking very hopeful for them as of now though!
