The art really took away from the overall story. Also, the story could have been told in a much shorter time which tells me that the author was trying to milk it for all it was worth. And it wasn't worth much. This really disappointed me. The two main characters are not only destructive towards each other but they are to themselves and those around themselves. I hated the brother and was surprised a woman like his wife ever married him in the first place. Finding out that a woman has been battered her entire life and saying for her to just deal with it and get over it...not ok. Also, I really didn't even care for the main character. It was like her over abuse was done just to make her seem more pathetic or to make her seem to be someone who needed others empathy. Also even though she said she would take that empathy she always did. This story was not something I will ever read again. Probably the worst yuri, if not one of the worst mangas I have ever read. As a victim of abuse and a lesbian, I find this manga rather appalling.
This Love That Won't Reach
This is a really excellent manga but it's just so slow... I wish Uta finds real happiness cause I honestly think she can do better than what has happened to her but I love how mature she has become over the course of this manga. Kaoru is finally realizing the ultimate fact that Reiichi doesn't really love her the way he says. I think he's still very hung up on his ex and he definitely has a tendency to lie which has put their relationship in the pits. I personally feel their relationship may end up in divorce but all in all, I hope Uta ends up happy. She's become really admirable in my opinion and I'd love to see her as a full fledged adult with an awesome girlfriend and hopefully that future is possible.
