Since I've seen the anime a good amount of times, I thought that I should read from where the anime left off to the end of the manga. Keep in mind, I don't like reading manga. At all. But I couldn't put this down. I'm so indulged with Otani and Koizumi's relationship, that I couldn't sustain myself. In the end, I don't mind that they left this little bit out of the anime because volume 12/13 - 17 is really just arcs that don't really add to the story. Although this is the case, I'm so obsessed with LC that reading it made me happy that I could continue their journey. The part where they went on vacation. Looool! What kind of 17-year old is Koizumi :P so cute. Sadly though, it gives me an overwhelming feel of sadness because you got to watch them for 3 years of their lives, and now their lives were changing. I was definitely sad when Nobu-chan and Koizumi/ Chiharu were saying their goodbyes. They've been through a lot together T_T. And reading the manga gave me insight into certain things that they'd show in the credits and opening (like Atsushi-neko hehehe). Time for me to go find the plus!
And since I graduated last year, the feeling of graduating from one place in your life, and going onto another surely gave me a emptying feeling. :(
