From the back of the book- SWEET DREAMS

After a hectic summer, Shizu and her mother welcome a calm autumn in their home. Every day, Shizu grows more certain of herself, but after meeting the living daughter of one of her ghosts, she realizes it all comes at a price. The spirits within her know they are existing on borrowed time, and no one is more worried than Shizu. As a newfound loneliness creeps into her heart, she finds out the hard way that there is plenty to gain in letting go…

Review- This was a moving and excellent final volume. Shizu has been getting better with others and more comfortable with herself so that means something is changing in her heart. Her ghost friends know that means she will not be a host for them anymore and they want her to be able to accept this and to move on with her new life. Of course she has to mourn them because they were her friends when she had no one else. It was a very moving volume dealing with grief, changes in life, and letting go. The ending is very hopeful about Testsu’s mother. I really enjoyed this manga, I would recommend it, and I would read another series by this author. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
