5/5 estrellas.
Shards of memories shin
with a brilliant radiance.
As the seasons turn,
two boys' hearts are changing.
They mature by accepting
each other completely.
Spring has come.
Y, finalmente, hemos llegado al día de la graduación.
No quiero comentar mucho, en realidad prefiero no decir nada porque sino me explayaré y será demasiado spoiler.
Así que, me encantó, lo amé. Lloré, me reí y me emocioné demasiado con el final. Es un manga que volvería a leer <3.

This series is a bit of classic with its generally soft approach (minimal graphic sexual content) and its interesting art style. You have two boys, Sajo and Kusakabe, preparing for their high school choir recital. Smartest kid in school Sajo is a bit tone deaf, and musician Kusakabe runs into him practicing and decides to help him. They develop a relationship that this series follows through their ups and downs, misunderstandings, college exams and applications, a sick parent, and the teacher after Sajo.
Probably the thing I hated the most was Harasen, the teacher who is pretty openly gay and has an infatuation with Sajo. He was once a student pursued by a teacher and there's some slightly different cultural opinions on teacher-student relationships, so I get that, but still. I appreciate that the author made an attempt to show Harasen did not want to pursue it, but I hate that it was still presented as a carnal desire/can't-help-it thing that was only stopped by his tiny bit of morals. If it wasn't there, I probably would have given the series a 4 or 5☆.
For everything else, it was gentle and thoughtful and kind. One plot point in the series was literally about one of them not wanting to ask, "Are you okay?" during a tough time because the other would just say, "I'm fine." This series is delicate in a number of meaningful ways and shows how to communicate your feelings. How to do and not just say. It makes communication and working on it a vital part of the relationship, and I appreciate that the most of all. I could let a lot of little problems go because of how well it did here.
Series: 4☆
Volume: 4☆
Warnings for sexual content, pedophilia/teacher-student relationships, sexual harassment, cancer, sexist remarks
