an otaku fan of all things moé
Ever since sola finished airing, I was sadden. But I can still enjoy sola all over again with the DVD releases! It has been about 3 months since the release of Volume 01 but I finally got around to actually looking at what goodies come with the limited press edition. And I must say, it doesn’t disappoint me.

He wonders if it was all a dream and whilst talking to Mana, he has blurry flashbacks of seeing Matsuri, resulting in him collapsing. Mana manages to take him home, and whilst she gets a towel, Aono has a talk with Yorito. Yorito asks Aono about last night and if they met someone on the way home as he feels he’s forgotten something important. Aono suggests that he get some rest and takes him to his room. Mana returns with a towel and basin, but Aono insists that she go home. Being placed in bed, Yorito feels that they should go out on a clearer day, but Aono says that she dislikes clear weather. Though Yorito feels that you can see different scenery and colours on a clear day. As Aono exits the room, Yorito bids her goodnight, and Aono does the same.
