Mameiha's manga / #love it!!!(121)

WOW

Very slow paced, but in such a great way. Not slow and boring, but slow and relaxing. I felt so peaceful and at ease reading this. I feel like I could read another 5 volumes and enjoy every word. Lots of love and smexyness in every chapter... really this was a far better manga than I expected it to be.

Lots of people hate the seme, but I don't. I don't think his relationship with Chika was healthy before their breakup and neither was his personality. However, I believe humans learn and grow right up to our last breath and anyone willing to make changes to improve themselves are worth second chances. The moral of this story is "You don't know what you've got until it is gone." Sometimes, forgiveness absolutely needs to be withheld in order for the offending party to understand the depth of the insult they have committed. "I'm sorry" is enough when you bump into a stranger on the street, but when you truly hurt the person who loves you, it takes more effort than two little words. You have to fix the problem so that the offense never happens again. This story is not for those lacking life experience enough to recognize the truth in my previous statements. Even without sex scenes, this manga is written for a mature audience. That said, it is one of the most heart wrenchingly fantastic stories I have ever read. My heart ached for Chika at the start and even more so for Yuuji toward the end. The characters were developed beautifully even without having many chapters, that includes side characters as well, and it was done without wasted dialogue or exposition. Every word written propelled the plot and every character contributed. Even if the subject matter is not your cup of tea, the beautifully clean and fluid writing is worth experiencing.

This is how unrequited love usually turns out. A beautiful, well written story. The art is clean, clear and truly amazing. This is an instant favorite. Warm, realistic and wonderful characters.
