![]() Yukine was originally intended to be a primary character, but difficulties in writing her story led her to be reassigned. The caretaker for the reference room, Tomoya and Youhei visited here after Tomoya dropped by to find resources for Nagisa. Before we can get there, however, there’s also Yukine’s arc. Originally, I was thinking to write about ~After Story~ earlier this month, following Tomoya’s graduation, but it felt more appropriate to showcase his graduation, the transition into society from high school and then his decision to propose to Nagisa in a single post.While the moment is not likely to be counted as the most romantic proposal of all time, it’s certainly moving and fitting for the challenges the two have survived thus far. Realising that Nagisa has gone to these lengths for him, Tomoya decides here to propose to her. After learning his offer to work at a larger company was rescinded because his father was arrested, Tomoya’s reaction is a forceful one, and Nagisa’s actions here, to physically stop Tomoya from injuring himself, show that she’s willing to do what it takes for Tomoya’s interest. By presenting Nagisa as patient and accepting, ~After Story~ makes it clear that Nagisa is the person for Tomoya, being a gentle and compassionate foil to his energy and determination, constantly looking out for him even when things become difficult. In the real world, this can be a point of contention amongst couples, and the couples that are similar to Tomoya and Nagisa, who are willing to accept one another and work things out, are usually those that end up sharing their futures together Nagisa is very understanding of Tomoya and does her best to accommodate him. There is another cost in one’s personal relationships working more means spending less time with the important people in one’s life, and this is evidently has taken a toll on Tomoya, whose time with Nagisa has been decreasing. Spending time with loved ones is a vital part of life, and of late, work-life balance has been discussed more widely, since working too diligently has been attributed with a decrease in performance at one’s job. This becomes evident when he begins dozing off during dinner, and later, misses his promise to be with Nagisa at the Founder’s Festival. However, in taking up a new job, Tomoya is faced with the task of proving his worth, and so, struggles to find his work-life balance. Keeping busy while he works out a plan, Tomoya eventually becomes an electrician and finds it a job he enjoys. Despite not having a clear plan for the future, Tomoya has always been skillful at making the most of things. However, as he learns, the real world is not forgiving lacking any direction, Tomoya initially decides to regroup and occupy his time by working at the Furukawa bakery, keeping himself from idling. His kind heart dominates his apathy, and spurred on by friends, Tomoya’s closes off one chapter of his life, moving onwards in the world ahead. From his final days in high school to the transition point where he becomes a full-fledged member of society, Tomoya’s journey has been a tumultuous one. In the aftermath, Tomoya proposes to Nagisa under a hot summer’s day, who accepts. Tomoya is consumed with frustration that his past is inescapable, but Nagisa intervenes and calms him down. ![]() Back in the present, Tomoya has been presented with a new job offer, but this is rescinded when Tomoya’s father is arrested. He returned home and encountered Kouko again, regretting giving up his dreams of singing for her. One day, while working with Yusuke, Tomoya learns from him that he was once a songwriter who descended into depression. While Tomoya earns the respect of his coworkers with his effort, he also begins to spend less time with Nagisa, missing most of the day at the school’s Founder’s Festival. Determined to prove his worth, Tomoya works diligently with Yusuke, who promises to withhold that Tomoya has a shoulder injury. He moves out into an apartment with Nagisa, and accepts a new job as an electrician. After graduation, Tomoya takes a job with the Furukawa bakery, and Nagisa returns to school. When Nagisa falls ill during Christmas Eve, he spends time with her. However, Tomoya is uncertain about his future. Kotomi plans on studying abroad, and Youhei aims to be a model. Kyou aspires to be a kindergarten teacher, while Ryou decides to become a nurse. ![]() “Life can bring lots of hardships, but it’s always important to keep in mind that there are people around you who care for you, and are willing to help you through whatever you’re dealing with.” –Nagisa FurukawaĪfter helping Yukine resolve a long-standing feud with gangs in town, graduation for Tomoya and the others near. ![]()
