Pita Ten, Vol. 07

It is a time for mourning in the Higuchi household as last respects are paid to Kotarou's dearly departed Great-Grandfather. As Shia comes to grips with the life that she lost so long ago, Kotarou looks towards the New Year for inspiration as to where his studies and stomach may carry him. Even Misha is her usual, perky self. And yet, a smile is often the only thing that can truly disguise one's own fate. With less than a month to go before their exams, Kotarou and Misha's friendship could not be on better terms — that is, until Sasha makes a surprise house call and sends Kotarou on a spiritual journey into the dreamscape. And yes, the dark secret that Misha has been harboring — the very secret that is her reason for coming to Earth — is finally revealed. Unfortunately, her friendship with Kotarou might not be strong enough to withstand the shocking truth in this, the penultimate volume of Pita-Ten! Pita-Ten Vol. 7 Plot Points: Chapter 38 Picks up right where Vol.6 left off with Great-Grandpa's funnier as Shia and Kotarou say good-bye.
