Not that I've read a ton of books up to this point, but I've never seen a book do this to the MC. Scene where Mamoru and Misaki were watching the sunset was my fav part. I'll never let go of the fact that nobody ever knows Mamoru does the whispering blade. Dude. If Takeru can feel/IS the mountain, and literally mentioned that he felt his brother and Mamoru die, THEN HOW TF DOES HE NOT NOTICE THAT MAMORU MADE THE WHISPERING BLADE. or even also 'became' the mountain as well. UGH. I will never let this go. I'm not asking for much, literally just give a modicum of possibility that Mamoru's family know he pulled it off and I'd die happy. This book isn't perfect, in fact its definitely flawed and falls short in some areas, but it's still a masterpiece. This is the bar to beat for me.
