Thoroughly enjoyed this. Really solid writing and I loved how Shin was drawn. I really hope there's a sequel!

Ahh! I rarely extol a work as much as I do this. I loved it! The writing, the art. It's simplistic, admittedly - there's not really deep drama or complexity or really any conflict that allows/prevents the romance. Instead it's touching and beautiful, which I find refreshing and absolutely enthralling.

You may be put off by the artistry at first, but I actually feel like the style fits the narrative perfectly. There are undercurrents of imperfection and I like how the art feels like the sentiment the mangaka was attempting to convey. This is a very genuine and kind story.

The artistic style of these two (the previous work being Kikoenai Koe) is a little odd at first, but lends itself to the narrative. This is a continuation from the previous piece, and I believe is best read in order. I really loved this story and the characters. The pacing was nice, and the growth was relate-able. A really genuine and kind story.

Gaah. Yet again, my love and appreciation for this mangaka is boundless. The second story is I think more clever, despite not being fully developed (this may be because I identify a bit with the propagator..). The art is beautiful, but not as stylistic as the others. Still, a very cute and enjoyable read. Definitely recommended.

A continuation of Yozora no Sumikko de, this story focuses on Shouta after the events of the previous work. It is incomplete, and rendering in a similar style as the previous piece. It's cute, not as stylistic as some of this mangaka's other work, but still cute and lovely. Definitely recommended.

Yet again, a wonderful part of this collection. The artistry is so fantastic... I love her use of words, and her unique style for evocative moments. I love this short story, and truly look forward to other pieces from her.

As someone who can relate to a lot of what is told through this story, I appreciate the authenticity and kindness this manga possesses. A really cute and endearing cast. Definitely would read (and re-read!)
