im so confused about all this. "love doesnt make sense", is the message of this manga. i've read this after honeymoon salad. so it's not really depressing for me, just a flashback about stuff that happened.

Not a bad series, it reminded me of high school and all the teenage love stories i have gone through myself.

I could always feel inpending doom for ichika and youko beginning at the first chapter and then it went downwards because they wern't honest with them selves. Love isn't easy.

could almost be a stand alone one-shot, but reading honeymoon salad after would clear up some of its convoluted mess. this chapter gives the reader more focus into personalities of both youko and ichika, especially ichika, but the reason on why youko left is also explained [subtly, somewhat].

When I first read this, I didn't know it is actually a prequel to another series. The story is told in narration style to express the feelings of the personalities. In the end, we find that one has a very straight personality, while the other one is so not honest with herself.

If I had to take this as a one-shot, I'll probably take this as one of those grumblings from a heart-broken fellow you accidentally meet in a cafe or train.
