Well. I'm glad I was warned about the sequel (Paradise View), which I WILL NOT READ. Nope. I don't do tragedy and I don't do unhappy endings.

For this one... it was okay. I didn't like the distance and I don't think they tried hard enough, frankly. The mangaka set it up to be a GOOD story, but I didn't feel for the characters like I think I should have. I liked them, but I felt like they only gave a half-hearted attempt at actually trying to make the relationship work. Hideo couldn't look for work in Kyoto? Kyoto was the ONLY university with a medical program? Forced plot points. So, no.
I'll be skipping the other stories by this mangaka, esp since I know at least one is a bad ending.

    I respect that u're not into tragedy but it was a happy end and it was a good read. It's just that it made me cry bc of frustrations i guess hahaha

    Your comment made me hesitate reading the sequel but I after reading it, it wasn't actually that bad. Like Nikka, it was also worth the read! But I also respect your opinion (▰˘◡˘▰)

    I appreciate that. :) I have just made it a policy that I don't read unhappy endings. I feel there's plenty of tragedy out there in the world, and I don't read it and I don't write it. I figure there are others that can appreciate those works and other authors who can write them (likely much better than I since I don't like to). I absolutely respect other people's tastes and preferences. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. It's just not for me. :)

    The problem with the sequel is , as stated above, the extra. As a sequel, it's great. Their relationship grows and so do the characters. It adds a realistic side to the story and you have a happy ending (a very fulfilling one to boost) and then an unnecessary extra comes along and it feels like the drop from a rollercoaster. I really don't know what the mangaka's was thinking with that extra, since this story is more about cuteness, so it sorta feels outta place. So my advice would be for you to read the sequel and skip the extra. It would be kind of a waste not to read it.

    I think the sequel gave more dimension and life to the story.. I like how their love overcomes everything, *well in a way*.. The sequel is worth it

    I'm scared to read it now. I'm a little ocd so I might be tempted to read it to the end if I do start. Reading the comments here reminded me of Black Jewels, a long series fantasy novel which I loved and invested in for years and then came the extras. Still breaks my heart whenever I remember
