Episode 12 is a satisfying season finale. It doesn't wrap everything up in a neat bow—Maki and Umi's relationship is still a secret, and the future is uncertain—but it delivers the quiet, character-driven moments that made the series work. The Valentine's Day chocolate scene is a perfect encapsulation of their dynamic, and the sakura finale is a beautiful note to end on. If a second season comes, this is a solid foundation. If not, it's a gentle, warm conclusion to a genuinely charming romance.
