Life, Vol. 9

Life seriesbook 9 of 10

Ayumu Shiiba is preparing for the entrance examinations that will decide her future schooling. Her closest friend, Shii-chan, has always been the top student, and Ayumu relies on her for support. When the results arrive, however, the friendship breaks apart: Ayumu passes into the school she hoped for, while Shii-chan does not. The loss leaves Ayumu so distressed that she begins hurting herself to cope. At her new school she tries again to trust someone, and she forms a bond with a classmate named Manami. The question that drives this volume is whether that new connection will help her recover or pull her deeper into despair.
