Summer vacation gives Shoya's group time to work on Tomohiro's movie in this paperback continuation. The shared project offers a different measure of their uneasy reunion: people who have hurt each other must find something to do together. The film project alone is not the reason to buy the run. Its interest depends on the earlier bullying and the question of whether an ordinary day together can mean more than temporarily avoiding that history.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Kodansha describes lazy summer days around the movie project while Shoya remains anxious about losing the moments he values. That combination makes the summer interlude a provisional breather, not proof that the friendships are repaired. Making something together can give the group a purpose beyond discussing its past, but a project can also provide a convenient reason to postpone those discussions. Shoya's unease prevents the leisure premise from becoming a clean certificate of recovery. The argument for this stretch is modest: time spent together matters, yet the wish to preserve it can make a fragile arrangement harder to question.
