I absolutely adore Mizukami shin, it's always a delight to read her yaoi. Especially dear to my heart are her military manga, this is no different. To start with, the main story is very enjoyable, except for my developing a strong dislike for his two brother/fangirls who were tied to his hip, however I think it might have done better standing alone, since after I read Godo's story, all my attention was given to that, which was so funny, and enjoyable to read. The ending had me in tears. I hope that perhaps she returns to this story, and shows Godo's future, though its implied he finds a replacement in the great grandson? (Excuse me if I'm wrong). I'd love to see a separate sequel for that. I'll admit I avoided this manga for a while because of the 'tragedy' label. I think it was worth reading for the first story, which isn't a tragedy, and what happens with Godo was honestly worth enduring for his story.
