Alright, the journey is finally over.
First and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone who has given this story a chance, and stuck with me,thus providing inspiration and courage to persevere. This is the first time I've completed a novel by myself. I know it's not perfect, and rather amateur, but I do hope I've managed to move you at least a little bit. Even a single smile on the reader's lips would be my reward.
Let me know what you felt about Arata, Hanami and the story in the comments.
Thank you!
