This is the conclusion to the wonderful story setup in Girl Friends: The Complete Collection 1. While the majority of the story in the first volume is told from the point of view of Mari, this volume is mostly from Akko's point of view as she comes to terms with her feelings for Mari. I really liked how with each trial their relationship was put through, both Mari and Akko were able to build a stronger connection with each other. (view spoiler)[Ultimately, it ended up with them officially dating each other. (hide spoiler)] I loved the ending and sincerely hope that these two have a wonderful rest of their lives. 
 As a side note, this volume also contains nine short chapters of about two pages each for your reading enjoyment.
