I really like this authors work. It doesn’t feel rushed and the story line is good! Natsumi and Haru are sisters and Haru has passed away due to her cancer. However, prior to passing they were Arrange marriage candidates with Haru ( the younger sister) being the goal, and just like that she was set to marry the son of another family . The made natsumi feel like her life was being taken because Haru was all she had… their father weren’t close to them and got remarried to his mistress. They don’t speak or see their biological mother either. Anyways, Haru is smitten with her new boyfriend/fiancé but he only does as he’s told since he has no real passion. The only thing he does is listen to Haru’s stories about her sister and he had taken an interest in Natsumi… she’s hard working, resilient, and loving. After Haru dies he starts dating her too.. their story unfolds from there.
like it felt REAL. Haru's struggles with her disease, her jealousy and love for her sister and her unrequited loved for Tougo are so realistic. The guilt Natsumi felt, the codependent bond she had with her sister, her dysfunctional family situation are so well portrayed. Tougo's character isn't as well etched out bc it's in Natsumi's POV, but we can figure it out somewhat from the clues given in the manga
