The gang go to a hot springs sauna to unwind from the drama of the last volume's events however Kaoru has been given drugs that make him have a psychotic episode, leading him into the hospital. Once in hospital Satou's parents have no choice but to take him back to the family home and help him recover from his depression and mental struggles.

 

Misaki enrols back into high school in the hopes to becoming a better person and Satou also tries his best to finish the game however falls into a slump and once again struggles with his addiction to porn giving us a comical scene of his mom catching him masturbate.

 

All the side characters we seen in this manga are revealed to be connected to each other one way or another, Kashiwa's now husband is the school counsellor to Misaki and the woman who was in the pyramid schemes brother is an online gaming companion to.

 

All characters are still dealing and coping with their struggles in life. The ups and downs of it. Kaoru and his crush Nanako argue, Nanako calls Kaoru out on his fear of intimacy and love for real women. Then Nanako decides to seduce and have sex with teary eyed Kaoru. 

 

Satou calls Misaki and hears a man in the background assuming the worst not knowing it's her school counsellor. Kashiwa who is feeling lonely emails Satou wanting intimacy from him. In his sadness Satou comes to terms with his situation and feelings for Misaki. He has another psychotic episode of Misaki as an angel coming to his side.

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a friend hands you a book they love, especially when that book is a manga. We Appreciate Manga captures that exact feeling, beginning each conversation with a personal recommendation before letting the discussion wander into deeper territory. Hosted by the team at We Appreciate Manga™, this series is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on a thoughtful, sometimes rambling, chat between enthusiasts. You’ll hear them explore how specific stories resonate, why certain artistic choices matter, and the very real comfort these illustrated narratives can provide during difficult periods. It’s a celebration of the medium that goes beyond plot summaries to appreciate manga as a unique and powerful form of visual storytelling. Think of it as your audio companion to a vibrant, anime-adjacent book club where the panels come to life through conversation. New episodes of this podcast have been available since August 2022, offering a consistent space to connect with the art and heart of these stories.
