I started this because somewhere on the internet someone compared the anime to a queer-coded journey about the self-discovery of aromanticism (comparable to the vibe of Studio Ghibli's [probably] accidental queer-coded early 90's film Ocean Waves) whereas the rest of the manga concludes as a neat way to wrap up the story with stereotypical romanticism.
This volume is where the anime ends. It can be viewed as an optional ending of the story that enables you to view the storyline through one lens, and then to carry on to Vol 8 to view the entire storyline through a completely different lens.
