This is one of the rare mangas that don't feel like a manga at all but a novel. A true masterpiece that portrayed the struggles of characters beautifully, without leaving any emotion out. This is the first time I came across this author and I was entirely captivated by their way of writing. It was so amazingly written, their love was shown as a whole, so strong and intimate. At some point I was sure this would have a devistating end to it but thankfully that wasn't the case and they got just the right ending they deserved after going through so many hardships in their seperate lives, along with their life together, as two hearts brought together by ill fate. A writer so great he could create worlds out a mere blank sheet that would later be covered in ink in a blink of an eye and a photographer so captivated by writer's world of letters that he couldn't help but give it a shape in a form of clumsy yet breathtaking pictures that did that world's justice. Kei that was once a muse of Youichii, got swept away in a calming universe of dim lights and fresh spring mornings so unexpectedly, so beautifully. Story created on pure love, patience and will to see through storm and live fpr another sunny day, hugged by aromatic plum trees.
