ugh... crying so much at the end there... I haven't seen the anime and only picked this up as I'd just completed Love Is War and it was by the same author. I 100% don't think I could watch the anime now knowing what's in store. I don't have the mental fortitude to handle it. My heart breaks for Kana, and Akane, and Ruby. Also, their "mom". Replaying Kana's reaction at Aqua's funeral has me tearing up again. ugh...
I will say that earlier on in the series it was so lovely to see Kaguya name-dropped as Ruby's photographer-- and with Miyuki's family name no less. Unknown who proposed to whom but glad to see that it didn't take until Miyuki was in his 50s like he'd planned.
