Description
The New York Times bestselling teen romance series featuring volumes 7-9 combined into one oversized edition. Fans will be delighted to reconnect with bookworm Takao Kasuga, pretty and smart Nanako Saeki, and class weirdo Sawa Nakamura as these characters navigate middle school, love, finding their own identities, and Baudelaire's poetry.
After his grandfather falls ill, Kasuga goes with his parents back to Gunma—his first trip back to his hometown ever since the incident with Nakamura—and Kasuga must confront the friends and family he hurt in the past. A former classmate gives him a tip regarding Nakamura's current whereabouts, but will he have the courage to track her down and ask her the question that has haunted him since that day?
In this final instalment, time passes and people grow, change and heal, and we get a glimpse into the first fateful encounter between Nakamura and Kasuga, from her point of view...

About the Author
Winner of the most important comics awards for newcomers, the Tetsuya Chiba Award in 2001, Oshimi has been penning quirky slice-of-life dramas now for over a decade for major manga publishers including Kodansha. After drawing nine series, Oshimi's star began to rise in 2008 with the release of his first hit, Drifting Net Cafe. This horror-themed homage to the legendary Kazu Umezzo work, Drifting Classroom, was adapted into a live-action series, and propelled Oshimi onto an international stage. He would soon reach new heights in 2009 with The Flowers of Evil. In 2010 and 2011, the property quietly landed on numerous must-read lists and helped revitalize the shonen genre.
