Forget Me Not Vol. 7

We finally get to find out who the mystery girl is. Finally after reading 6 volumes, this one person that sets the whole story in motion is revealed. Well if you're expecting this whole last volume to be about her, you will be quickly be disappointed. Her part of the story is very brief, even asking the question: Was she even needed to begin with ? Don't get me wrong I see one aspect of her part. She was needed because without her he wouldn't have change and I see that but why build up the story to only briefly talk about her. Other that I actually loved this series, which is why I'm so critical of it.

This book series had a nice semi melancholy storyline. The ups and downs of a young mans decisions in life and love (mainly love). The mystery girl finally being revealed is somewhat anti climatic. But the realization of his true love is a sweet ending to the story.

WHAT?!!! IT'S OVER?!! NOOO!!! - my feeling at the end of the book.

This needs to be made Into an anime. I know they have a live action drama of it

~3-3.5 StarsI think the reason I wasn't a big fan of the ending at first was because I held so little regard for each relationship we followed. I knew they all ended badly, and I wanted to know who the girl was from the beginning. I didn't care too much for his relationship with Sam-Soon, in particular.A large portion of this volume concludes the Nana's plot line, and I really don't care for it. Serizawa learns from it, I suppose, but it's also a mess. It's not a good situation in any form.Then we finally discover who the girl was who started all of this. And I think it's fitting, who it turns out to be and how it turns out. It has an effect on Serizawa that he needs to get closure on certain parts of his life, and on his decision to finally make a decision and do something about it. He's spent so much time letting conflicts build and miscommunication fester and letting moments pass where he should have said something. It is good to see him finally grow past that.I suppose it makes sense which girl he ends up with in the end, as they did seem to have the more meaningful relationship, for both of them. And looking back on it, after some time to think, I don't mind that. It fits.This was a messy series, but I did enjoy it, for the most part.

The series is finally at it's end and left with with a feeling of wanting more. It kinda ended in a cliff hanger-ish manner. Everything was wrapped up in this volume, but i also felt that some part of the volume got rushed and the character build up seemed to go up quiet fast. It had a nice ending to it, but after this i wish they'd tell us more of whats to happen next.

The way the story was built to the point of this volume, the choices, the women Serizawa met, his regrets, his insecurities, all the way he paved that led to this ending is great. If you enjoy a good romance history, you should definitely read this manga series.

Ordered all 7 volumes, print quality is great, would rate 5 stars if not for the creases caused by package handling.
