Scum S Wish Vol 8

Can one person change another...? When someone says it's impossible, is that only because they failed...? But people never stay the same, no matter how much you may love them the way they are. As new lives open up for those around them, Hanabi and Mugi must pick up the pieces of their shattered hopes. When they finally find a way to walk forward, will it be hand in hand or...?

Mugi and Hanabi are the perfect high school couple...but their relationship is built on a single shared secret: They're each in love with someone else.

After Hanabi is heartbroken, she goes to Karuizawa with Ebato. This journey is guiding the two towards an end to their relationship. Elsewhere, even after Mugi conveyed all of his feelings to Akane, the free spirited girl didn't reply in kind. Who is the one that holds the keys to her heart?

Twisted love causes problems. Hanabi and Mugi are supposed to be dating, but Ebato's love confession has confused Hanabi. Moka's love for Mugi is still unrequited, a painful thorn hiding beneath the blossoms of love. As all around them people are changing their shape, will their feelings change also...?

After seeing Akane's true self, Hanabi makes a decision. For want of the one she loves, a convenient substitute presents a warmth she cannot resist. Love and desire intertwine, and the red string of fate is lost in the tangle...

Hanabi has decided to confess. Mugi is confronted with Moka's feelings. Ebato still pines after Hanabi. They want to go forward, they want to stop, they want it all to end...or do they? It's not uncommon to be a coward when it comes to love.

Lady Admiral Honor Harrington, a genetically engineered space warrior, embarks on a mission to free prisoners of war held by the People's Republic on the planet Hades.
