Since then, the bulk of the public knowledge in English of the series has come from those who have read my ongoing translation . . . which is only three-quarters of the way through the first chapter of the second book so far. Not being a fluent Japanese reader, I have not gone ahead and previewed the books, apart from the illustrations, which anybody else can look at too.
Sort of: I translated the author's postscripts from volumes 3 and 4, but she didn't reveal much of anything there, and all I was trying to do was to get an idea as to whether or not she thought the series was done and over with.
The native Japanese readers haven't deigned to write anything in English about the books.
All we have to go on are the publishers's blurbs:
Volume 1: The story begins. We meet Banri, Mitsuo, Kouko, Linda, Oka and NANA.
Volume 2: Who will it be, Kouko or Linda?
Volume 3: Banri organizes a masquerade party to lift Mitsuo's spirits.
Volume 4: Banri's memories come back briefly.
Volume 5: Banri & Kouko go to the sea during summer vacation.
