A brainy manga club captain and a beautiful swim club's ace seem like an improbable match. Yet despite their differences, Hotaka and Niki find that they have deep feelings for each other. Short after Niki's confession, the two excitedly set their first date. They agree to go to a summer festival together. But shocking revelations about Niki's true identity will drastically affect their relationship, in this heart-wrenching conclusion to the Evergreen series.
Hotaka is at his wits' end. Suddenly, improbably, he is befriended by Awaya Niki―the smoking queen of the swim team. But just as abruptly, she decides to drop out of his life without a warning. Though confounded and frustrated at first, Hotaka has resolved, by hook or by crook, to get an explanation on why Niki is avoiding him. But how is he to do that when she doesn't answer his texts or his invitations to meet up and talk?

Clement Greenberg is widely recognized as the most influential and articulate champion of modernism during its American ascendency after World War II, the period largely covered by these highly acclaimed volumes of The Collected Essays and Criticism. Volume 3: Affirmations and Refusals presents Greenberg's writings from the period between 1950 and 1956, while Volume 4: Modernism with a Vengeance gathers essays and criticism of the years 1957 to 1969. The 120 works range from little-known pieces originally appearing Vogue and Harper's Bazaar to such celebrated essays as "The Plight of Our Culture" (1953), "Modernist Painting" (1960), and "Post Painterly Abstraction" (1964). Preserved in their original form, these writings allow readers to witness the development and direction of Greenberg's criticism, from his advocacy of abstract expressionism to his enthusiasm for color-field painting. With the inclusion of critical exchanges between Greenberg and F. R. Leavis, Fairfield Porter, Thomas B. Hess, Herbert Read, Max Kozloff, and Robert Goldwater, these volumes are essential sources in the ongoing debate over modern art. For each volume, John O'Brian has furnished an introduction, a selected bibliography, and a brief summary of events that places the criticism in its artistic and historical context.
