It was beautiful. Both stories were. These two stories portrayed immense emotion and I'm so impressed with how it was conveyed! The first story is about a man named Katsumi who had rejected his best friend, Maki, when he was confessed to during their high school years. Later on in the future, Maki reencounters Katsumi only to find out that Katsumi had been consuming himself with sex just to be punished. Katsumi felt broken because he had loved Maki even back when Maki first confessed to him but was conflicted with how the world would see their relationship if it were ever exposed. He felt guilty for running away and hurting his friend! One day, possibly during his University yeears, he was raped by someone he met and later on decided that the pain he felt during that time would be a good way to punish himself for what he had done to Maki. Maki of course didn't allow this and stopped Katsumi! After lots of trials and conflictions, Katsumi finally decided to respect himself and his body more and also had started a relationship with Maki! This couple is really good for each other and they are beautiful together! I love the story overall from the art to the storyline to the characters! Everything is just so beautifully conveyed and my emotions were all over the place reading it! The second story follows a man named Daiya who had just moved to the country side. He met Yusuke for the first time when he had just finished moving. I think Yusuke was a neighbour... Anyway, Daiya at first thought Yusuke was rude because of the way Yusuke had first introduced himself but when Yusuke showed up at his front door bearing a gift of vegetables, Daiya changed his mind. From then on, they became really close and enjoyed each others company to the fullest! Daiya and Yusuke were always by each others side! One day, Yusuke and Daiya were watching movies when Yusuke all of a sudden found a DVD that Daiya had and curiously asked what it was. Daiya said it was porn and later on found out Yusuke was a virgin. They were both kind of drunk but they ended up having sex. Daiya realised what he had done and decided to run away from Yusuke because of his guilt. Later on, when he and his friend was buying stuff for a mixer they were planning, Daiya's friend had said something which made Daiya realised that Yusuke didn't mind what he had done. So he ended up going back to the countryside to stay with Yusuke! This couple is another complex couple as well! Instead of portraying guilt in the way that the first story did, they portrayed guilt in a completely different way! I also love this storyline as much as the first one! Truth be told, I actually didn't want to have a second story after I finished reading the first one but now I'm glad it's there! The story was also beautiful and I really liked Yusuke as a character even though it was Daiya's point of view! The ending of the second story was adorable because Yusuke and Daiya were finally a happy couple! If this story had a physical copy, I would buy it! I might check later to see if there actually is one. Anyway, these two stories are beautiful in their own way and I totally recommend this story to anyone who wants to read heartwrenching stories which tug on your heart! These stories made my heart feel something! I would totally reread this sometime in the future! A masterpiece this is! Truly!

It was an amazing story and I had only wished it lasted longer. Every alter of Rei was unique and amazing in their own way and though they're all gone, I'm happy that Rei and Yuuma still remember the alters and cherish them and I hope they will always remember because they sacrificed themselves for Rei. I believe Rei would have also done the same because they are so different yet so similar. After reading this, I wanted to learn so much more about alters and DID! This story is really a masterpiece and every sad moment had me feeling the pain and every happy moment had me smiling widely. I really really am happy that I got to read something like this and I'm definitely rereading this in the future! I'm happy Rei and Yuuma are happy together. I was surprised to find out that Rei was the host of the body since Kazuha shows up pretty often but Kazuha gave up his love on Yuuma for Rei and I can only think of it as sibling live or something similar. They must've been family to each other whether they want to admit it or not. This story is so amazing and I recommend it to everyone! The happiest of endings yet the saddest one too.

I liked it more than I thought I would honestly. The story plot was pretty basic and generic but it still was fun. I know a lot of romance stories tend to go in a certain direction but I like a bit of a cliche story once in a while. When Itsuki revealed to Ritsu that he was his childhood friend, I felt that the emotions were a bit lacking and the way they came to terms with it was rushed. But I suppose it can't be helped. The ending also seemed a little anticlimactic... at least, they ended up happy together. It's really cute and would totally recommend it to anyone up for a a quick romance story to read. I would like to reread this someday and hopefully, I'll enjoy it just as much as I do now. Also, Kiyomi best girl. Sorry not sorry Itsuki
