Short but cute! Wish it was longer but it's a neat wrap up with the backstory explained in just enough detail to feel like it brings the characters full circle. I actually forgot this was in the same continuity as two other couples (from Signals and Arashi no Ato) until the end. Technically a switch couple! (mentioned only)

One shots and 2-3 ch mini stories. The one shots were better than the last one, which never quite landed for me. It has the lightest of dubcon (the 'what have I done' trope) and the receiving character is bafflingly dense when it comes to sharing feelings, and this is never explained or justified. The others were fine. The art is very nice! Unique style of expressions, and inclusion of comedy.
