start/fin: 11/26/19 Ending seems too rushed. Wanted to see more about the modern life... But I appreciate how the mangaka didn't show Haru actually servicing customers. Knowing it already hurts, so it would've been more painful to see what she had to endure and how many other men had their way on her... The concept of their time slip is pretty cool, but would've been cooler if expounded. So basically, they time slipped to Edo Period w/ 4-yr difference, but when they "died" in the fire, they didn't return together. They came back to the days their actual accident happened, meaning there's also a 4-yr difference. The vague part is how Shouhei actually found Haru's address and send those messages. and ofc, how that phone lasted months alive and even got signal despite having no signal towers. manga logic, I guess... So, yeah, at that time, Shouhei has already gone back to the modern period (even though he's still in Edo Period) 4 years earlier.. It's pretty unrealistic, but cool concept.

I read and re-read this a lot before, but left it untagged. Anyway, what I really liked about this is how they made it close to reality. In reality, once our partner cheats, even though we try to make it work, most of the time, it doesn't. There will be those times when you begin to be paranoid, thinking he's cheating again even though he's not, and you'll just feel uncomfortable around each other. In their case, maybe they still could've made it work, but because the "other girl" had stalker tendencies and scared off Ari, it started to feel like she will no longer be in peace as long as she stays with Sousuke. Hmph. Good for them. I really disliked how Sousuke was wishy-washy. His attitude was great in the beginning, but the moment he couldn't refuse Aina about that date, he made a crack in what he and Ari had. All the more when he got together with Aina, simply because she became prettier once in College. Ugh. I just couldn't accept guys like him thinking "It's different. I love my girlfriend but this girl makes me feel something different. I just couldn't bear to leave any of them. yada yada." Ughhh This manga really is my go-to manga, whenever I feel like I want to remember what it's like to be cheated on, and what I should do to handle it. Last re-read: 12/02/19
