when I saw the cover of the first volume I thought this series would be a light fun read but actually it's really angsty and dark... but still compelling, as evidenced by how much I cried while reading this volume

This is the best installment so far. The writing captures the feelings of first loves, heartaches, and all the confusion surrounding these emotions.

Pour commencer l'année 2023; j'avais envie de me relire quelque chose que j'aime, une lecture doudou.
Alors, clairement, ce manga ne peut techniquement pas entrer dans cette catégorie réellement, parce que on parle notamment de suicide. Mais c'est une lecture très nostalgique pour moi.
Je l'avais découvert à un moment assez compliqué pour moi, et bizarrement, j'étais tombée totalement amoureuse de l'histoire, malgré la difficulté, malgré les personnages dont je ne supporte pas forcément ce qu'ils.elles disent/font.
Et malgré les défauts, malgré ce que moi, je n'aime pas...
C'est toujours un coup de coeur. Je suis toujours amoureuse.
Mon avis n'a pas changé. Je n'aime toujours pas les mêmes choses. Et j'adore toujours les mêmes choses.
Je ne peux pas le recommander à tout le monde, au vu des sujets. Mais si vous pouvez gérer les cw, n'hésitez pas !

To start the year 2023; I wanted to re-read something I like, a cuddly reading.
So, clearly, this manga cannot technically fit into this category really, because we are talking about suicide in particular. But it's a very nostalgic read for me.
I had discovered it at a time that was quite complicated for me, and oddly, I had fallen totally in love with the story, despite the difficulty, despite the characters of whom I don't necessarily support what they say/do.
And despite the flaws, despite what I don't like...
It's always a crush. I'm still in love.
My opinion has not changed. I still don't like the same things. And I still love the same things.
I cannot recommend it to everyone, given the subjects. But if you can handle the cws, don't hesitate !

The story continues with Ann in Tokyo and Daigo back at home. The strains are starting to show in their relationship as each begins to move in a different direction. Fuji runs away from home, thinking he is the bastard child. Meanwhile, someone is showing very close is showing an interest in Daigo. I tend to like my Manga to have fights and explosions, but there is a bitter sweetness to this story that keeps me coming back.

Very well written with nice art, but very depressing. Fuji is a jerk, and I don't like him! He and his sister both are cheaters who kiss people they know are in a serious relationship.

J'ai l'impression que ce manga s'améliore de tome en tome. Vivement la suite !

This series is sad but in a good shojo manga way.
