I've never been very fond of Tarumi, but those chapters really made me empathize for her. But the inner thoughts of Shimamura were particularly on point. It's easy to think we can hold on to relationships, once something have been broken (in this case, Tarumi's heart), but most of times, it's better to move on.

Every few chapters, I'm telling to myself I should read the LN. One day, one day!

I do recommend the audiobooks if you don't have time to read. I prefer the Japanese narration but it's also out in English.
