This was SO cute! The artwork is absolutely gorgeous and I really loved the cozy, relaxing, lofi-ish nostalgic summer vibes. I enjoyed learning more about rural Japanese culture and architecture too!
As adorable as the friendship/romance endings are, the neutral ending really resonates with me too. Especially the ending line “to exist in a space of nostalgia, to remain as just a fond summer memory.” Perfectly bittersweet.
