Volume 2 (chapters 8-14) are available now officially translated in English.

They are better quality than the fan translations of those chapters (which are also up to 14 right now on other sites) and clarified some questions I had.

Late June is the official Volume 3 release in English with all 11 remaining chapters.

Got my hands on the last volume today and just finished rereading the whole series a few moments ago. I've never been particularly good at articulating my thoughts on stuff like this, so the only thing I'll say about the final volume is this. I'm happy to finally know how the series ends, after all these years.

Final volume came out in English today. I loved it. It was fantastic, and I'll definitely be re-reading this one yearly along with my other favorite Yuri series.

Tbh, I found the final volume to be under expectations for what is otherwise a good manga. Creepy bro is front and center for half the chapters and the time travel explanation honestly takes more away from the main couple instead of adding on to their relationship and enhancing the story. It's a shame they spend most of the last volume introducing and trying to flesh out creepy bro and a whole new character to explain the whole time travel plot while leaving Pure and Akira on the back burner and then just use the last chapter for a rushed cut to wedding day.

Still a decent read but I feels like it really botched the landing after a strong first two volumes.

Happy but bittersweet ending. The message at the end was pretty good in my opinion. It's (non jokingly) "Don't cry because it's over; Smile because it happened" thing. But the event before the ending was sucking ass big time. It just admits it runs out of ideas/time/resources. So rugged and rushed. This brother's "friend" who finds "it" was just some guy without name. Who was that? Is this a fanfiction written by some 14 years old? Could've polished better than that! That event alone flawed the entirety of the series. For shame, it could've been godly good.

I've re-read this a lot over the years since its release, and I really appreciate how many minor details there are.

For example, Pure is really, really clumsy in the opening chapters, tripping over her own feet and falling several times. She's even taller in the future, so this clumsiness is implied to be because she isn't used to her 17-year-old body.
