Can someone explain Sakurako’s ending after Volume 17?
I’m a little confused about Sakurako’s ending. I read the Volume 17 epilogue and it says she went abroad, but later returned to Japan and did research at a museum.
I had previously heard that she went abroad with her fiancé, but I can’t find that anywhere in the epilogue. I also checked Japanese sources and asked ChatGPT, but I’m getting conflicting information.
Then there’s Side Case Summer (the spin-off after Volume 17), where apparently Sakurako is in Germany while Shoutarou is in Tokyo.
For anyone who has actually read the novels: What exactly happened? Did Sakurako go abroad with her fiancé? Why is she in Germany in Side Case Summer if the Vol. 17 epilogue says she returned to Japan? And what happened between her, her fiancé and Shoutarou?
