Review of 'Sunny, Vol. 6' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

For a series that, to put it lightly, always felt more about the journey then the destination I was really swept away by this conclusion. Not settling on somewhat tired and cliché (even if they are very true) notions about childhood lost and having to grow up too soon, Matsumoto brings this meandering narrative back full circle by showing us just how childish his subjects really still are. Mixing melancholy and sadness with hope and change, the series remains painfully intricate up to the very end. If anyone ever asks me for reading recommendations ever again this series will likely be high on my list.
