phew, wow, what a ride! heavy psychological shoujo is so good, though it didn't hit me that hard since I only read now when I'm an adult. reading people's comments somehow gave me an impression that Yano is such an insufferable and rude brat lol, but after finishing it, I think he's just a sensitive hopeless romantic who feels things too deeply for his own good. there's no doubt that he's madly in love with Nanami from the start, even when he's still not done grieving over dead Nana, and so does Nanami. I can always sense their unbreakable soul connection that absolutely no one can meddle in throughout the whole story. so the ending is expected after all (the last chapter is touching and healing afff I did tear up a little • ‿ ,•). I'm just glad that the relationship btw Yuri and Yano didn't turn any more toxic than that
aww I want more chapters where Rui makes up for all the time he had hurt Natsume! nonetheless, this is a cute story. at first, I really hated the way Rui was super rude to Natsume and how Natsume kept following him like a tail, like girl do you have any dignity?? but when I changed the way I look at it, I realized it's because Rui didn't like Natsume back then, so it'd be even more cruel if he treated her well, and giving all her heart is just Natsume's way to love. know what she wants, set her eyes on Rui and Rui only, and go all of her way just to be with him, pretty tough and brave if you think about it. plus, the old art style is soooo pretty, especially the modeling scenes
that Takahashi senpai is somehow... hot. he's so reliable and sincere and assertive hahaha. the confrontation between the males was sooooo thrilling. it's actually great to see the guy step up for the girl he wants and honestly should be like that in more shoujo. now I want a whole new college love manga just for Takahashi( ̄へ ̄)











I'm normally not into age gap EXCEPT for serious stoic men like these
