I love, love, love this series for many of the reasons you describe above! I also like that Ashihara can make her characters age believably.
I *loved* the short story in volume 9 about everyone's mothers, and while I'm looking forward to reading 10, I'll be sad when the series is over. Of course....then I can reread it all at once!
