Ao Haru Ride Pt. 2 (with Shojo Beat Senior Editor Nancy Thistlethwaite)
Covers volumes 8–13 of Ao Haru Ride by Io Sakisaka. One year after recording about the first half of Ao Haru Ride, we’re back on the bandwagon to talk about the ending. Shojo Beat Senior Editor Nancy and Shojo a Tell host Ashley talk about every single confession and rejection scene, consistently compare the series to WE WERE THERE, bring up one too many times that [SPOILERS] it’s annoying that Kou was hit by a car, and so much more. Like, get out of here, Kikuchi. Kou and Futaba forever.
