Before the Spilled Milk Dries

Wow wow wow. I knew the author of these stories could get a little dark, but I greatly overestimate the tragedy tag. Even though, my God I still enjoyed reading through it. The chapter with Miki and her childhood crush was so amazing, that plot twist at the end had me speechless, I had to go back to reread the entire chapter over again just to make sure I wasn't confused. I got literal chicken skin when I made it to the end of that chapter and realized what actually was happening. Like I've always said when rating these kinds of works, this author does a PHENOMENAL job telling such thrilling and interesting stories with just a one-shot. The sheer amount of raw emotions I was experiencing reading through some of these stories is unmatched, and the fact that the author can give me that with just 15 to 20 pages of art to tell such a breathtaking story is incredible. Anyone who can rate these stories anything less than 5 stars likely just underestimated the tragedy tag because, like myself, you wouldn't think art this cute and innocent looking would hold darker meanings. But for the people who enjoy that kind of genre and take the tags to heart, I can't see them rating this anything but 5 stars.
