Lovely. To think that the vampire loved his beloved Shiki enough to give him a merciful death, then wakes up again and knows where to find him? That's beautiful to me. The last page says everything. Heh--Upon a third time reading this, I found myself listening to a version of "Dear You " (from Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni ) and bawled even harder than the first time. Yeah, definitely don't make my same mistake, fellow reader. It's almost too painful.

This is almost too pure! ♡ The tsundere is adorable! ♡

Hah--In terms of being a well written story, I think this is great when perceived as a story of an unreliable narrator. I am not a fan of abuse tropes but something in this made my heart hurt for both characters. I can't see it as an exclusively one character narrative. I would like to know what the seme/abuser has been through to make him this loathsome .

Damn freaking onion cutting ninjas. Beautiful, beautiful story. This is really something beautiful. I treasure this.
Matsugo no Yume
Okay. ..wow. I can't express enough my affection for this mangaka. Everything she writes I fall in love with. That conclusion, man...I had to go back and reread it, and then I had to kiss my sleeping husband just to make sure he was sleeping and I wasn't dreaming. Very effective. Well done, Sensei. In my world, my own little twisted mind and heart, they are together. I can't imagine living with that grief.
Love-letter (sakai Kunie)
That was beautiful. Really, really emotional and beautiful. I liked watching their journey, but I am sad it was unrequited though the vibes were strong.
