This volume was focused much more on the characters and their relationships to each other than on the pop idol music scene. Which is good, because these are great characters and the relationships are written in a way that's very real. There's a big twist towards the end of the volume, which is bound to have a huge effect on the plot going forward. I also really liked the bonus chapter, which gives Eichi's POV of his relationship with Mitsuki.

Mitsuki loves Eichi and that has kept her alive. She promised that one day would become a singer and they would meet again. But, it's been hard to keep her spirits up. Even the memories of Eichi aren't helping. And when it's let slip that Eichi has been dead for years, Mitsuki can't take it.
Will Mitsuki join her love in death, or will the love of another be enough to make her want to live?
This volume doesn't focus so much on singing as the previous two. It is more about character development and their relationships with one another. It's a sad but touching volume. I can't wait to see how the story continues.

Wait, he's been dead for years?
Here's a story which started out more sweet and fluffy than deep and serious (okay, she has a malignant tumor, I should have expected it) and then goes south. So much sorrow, so much heartbreak. And yet there's still so much hope. I'm liking this more as I learn the depth to this storyline.

Sejujurnya ceritanya jadi lebih menarik di volume ini, sih. Setelah dibuka bahwa Takuto dulu ternyata vokalis band ayah Mitsuki dan bahwa Eichi ternyata sudah meninggal dalam kecelakaan pesawat begitu menuju Amerika. Tampaknya Mitsuki menganggap Eichi masih hidup karena terlalu shock.
Tapi ratingnya tetap kukasih dua bintang seperti volume-volume sebelumnya karena ceritanya yang membingungkan.
1. Waktu Keichi Wakaouji, dokter Mitsuki, masuk ke industri entertainment sebagai produser musik Mitsuki untuk mencari gadis itu, ia langsung mengenali Mitsuki karena sosok 16 tahun Mitsuki seperti Hazuki, ibu gadis itu. Tiba-tiba saja sakura-sakura bertebaran dan Mitsuki mengeluarkan semacam ledakan energi yang membuat ruangan di sekitarnya hancur. Lagi, hal ini kemudian dibiarkan begitu saja. Bagaimana bisa? Kalau aku jadi Keichi, aku pasti udah mengira Mitsuki dikutuk atau apa gitu. Belum juga orang-orang di gedung itu seharusnya bereaksi. Tapi Mitsuki diloloskan dari segala konsekuensi begitu saja. Seolah ledakan ruangan itu bukan apa-apa.
Aku bingung deh. Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne ceritanya baik-baik saja. Tapi kenapa cerita ini logikanya ancur banget? Kayak ditulis oleh penulis amatiran.
2. Lho, jadi ibunya Mitsuki meninggal dalam kecelakaan mobil bersama ayah Mitsuki? Waktu mereka mau ngapain? Aku nggak paham. Kukira ibu Mitsuki meninggal saat melahirkan Mitsuki karena tubuhnya lemah. Piye tho?
3. Age-gap-nya dengan Takuto nggak main-main. Gila.
4. Aku nggak ngerti sama backstory waktu Meroko masih setim sama Izumi. Jadi Meroko dulu suka Izumi? Tapi bisa semudah itu dia beralih ke Takuto? Terus dia nangis di akhir itu karena apa? Karena Izumi nggak nemuin dia di tempat perjanjian dan yang muncul malah Death Master yang memperkenalkan Takuto sebagai shinigami baru untuk jadi partner Meroko? Memangnya kenapa tim Izumi dan Meroko dipisah?
Ah gak tau dah. Selesaikan saja. Tuntaskan rasa penasaran lalu sudahi begitu udah sampai volume 7 nanti.
Untung aku gak jadi beli serial ini di Shopee.

My heart is breaking! I haven't cried this much because of a manga in a long time, and even though a lot of the subject material is sad, I never thought I would hurt this much. Everything is so tragic... I hope the ending will at least be happy.
We really got a lot of backstory on Eichi and Takuto, we finally know their stories and how they're connected to Mitsuki, and I just have to say that I feel really torn between who I ship her with more. I love the history that her and Eichi share together, but on the other hand, we get to see how lighthearted and sweet Takuto's relationship is with Mitsuki, a kind of levity that is much needed. I think at this point I'll be disappointed no matter what's to come.
Still, I must see what happens next!!

Meinung
Ein neuer Produzent kommt ins Team und es niemand geringeres als ihr Arzt Waka Ouki-Sensei. Er hat früher in der Band von Mitsukis Vater gespielt. Takuto erfährt nebenbei wer er zu Lebzeiten war. Dabei stellt sich heraus, dass auch er in der Vergangenheit einen Tumor hatte. Und als wenn sich die traurigen Ereignisse ohnehin schon überschlagen würden, stellt sich auch noch heraus, dass Eichi tot ist.
Zusätzlich sind in dem Manga auch noch zwei schöne Hintergrundgeschichten von Eichi und Izumi und Meroko.
Ich finde, dass das Thema Tod schon sehr präsent ist. Gerade auch in diesem Manga. Beim Lesen war es teilweise schon etwas bedrückend. Wobei die Dialoge zwischen Takuto und Meroko oder Takuto und Mitsuki schon wirklich sehr lustig sind.

dieses Manga hat mich so schockiert, als ich es zum ersten Mal durchgelesen habe, ich konnte es nicht glauben. Oh nein, ich bringe hier keine Spoiler. Ich fand es unglaublich gut. Aber war fassungslos, dass es so eine Veränderung von der Stimmung gab und man einfach auch die ersten beiden Bände in einem deutlich anderen Licht sieht nach diesem. und dafür liebe ich es so sehr. Ich meine, wir hatten ja schon bei anderen Mangas von Arina Tanemura so viel Tiefe und Emotionen. Aber das hat mir wirklich sehr gut gefallen. Vielleicht auch, weil ich genau in diesem Lebensalter sehr viel mit dem Thema Trauer und Tod und auch Tod von Menschen in meinem Umfeld im jungen Lebensalter erlebt habe und dieses Manga auf eine seltsame Art und Weise sehr gut in meine damalige Lebensrealität gepasst hat.

Beh, continua la meraviglia di questo fumetto! Ma perché non l'ho letto direttamente quando è uscito?!
Per il momento il mio personaggio preferito è Takuto. Qualcosa si è anche scoperto del suo passato e non era quello che pensavo io () ma ci sono andata molto vicino.
Tra l'altro torna il dottor Wakoji - che suonava in un gruppo con il padre di Mitsuki - e si scopre che fine ha fatto Eichi.
Uhm, e adesso?

This one were less chaotic then the previous volumes so it was more understandable. I still think that the characters are too young for the lovestory aspect though and it seems that the author knows it too because the characters look older in the romantic scenes. Which makes me believe that the author knows that this is a little on the edge and a little farfetched.

El tercer tomo de la obra me ha sorprendido muy positivamente. Nos permite conocer más en profundidad a los personajes y reduce el peso del elemento cómico en favor de la lírica y la tristeza. Personalmente creo que es el mejor volumen leído hasta el momento.

OOOOH the plot twists! There's a lot different from the anime here and WOOF that was a lot of information.
I wouldn't say that the story progressed a lot, it was a lot of back story, but damn that was a lot more feelsy than either of the two before it. I really enjoyed this one.

Less pop idol stuff this volume, more diving into each character's motivations and relationship with death. Some great flashbacks too, and a big reveal towards the end that changes the perspective on the rest of the series.

Beautiful illustrations and an interesting story!

This is the best volume yet. The emotions are so raw and believable. I don’t want to spoil anything, but Full Moon handles complicated topics in such a caring way. I am always more interested in characters than plot and every character is unique and wonderful in their own way.

So many twists and turns in this volume 😱😭❤
March 14, 2023
Tirando le somme, nel cast principale c'è solo gente morta. La protagonista di fatto è l'unico essere vivente (per ora), e io stranamente inizio ad apprezzare la trama. Forse ho un problema.

Everyone’s connected, aren’t they??? And everyone’s back story is so damn depressing…
And that final twist at the end??? Wow! I wasn’t even expecting that. And Mitsuki knew??

Als ich den Manga gelesen habe, hat mir die rührende Geschichte direkt das Herz gebrochen. Die Geschichte ist, wie viele aus Tanemuras Feder geschriebene Werke, einzigartig. Empfehle zusätzlich zu diesem Manga auch einen Kauf zu einer Tempobox.
