I really loved the first story-it actually made me cry. Tetsuo really loved sachika and he didn't want he to be hurt. He loved her so much that he was willing to hide everything, even who he was. BEST ONESHOT EVER

The first story was absolutely beautiful. No flaky, over-dramatized love, but pure love that transcends all bounds. I didn't know whether to be jealous of the love she had beside her or to just sit back in shock at the love he had for her. A must read.

I don't give any high expectations or anything actually but based on the high ratings by other users make me wonder that it might change my life for a second.
And yes. this manga change my life. It change totally my perspective of love. I think, manga have great powers to change one's view for the world. And in this. TRUE LOVE is what I called. The beginning might be confusing but the characters are loveable and the hero is what we called -husband-wannabe to all girls.
Actually, I want to cry since im a jerk in the heart seeing manga like this but my father is infront of me so I kept my tears.
Definitely worth 10 minutes of your life time than reading any smut manga. YOU GOT THAT?

Although it starts out rather confusing I must say this is one of the best presented Tragedy/Drama's I've encountered up until now ... I was in tears by the end and felt a strange mixture of happiness and sadness coupled with the nagging thought of how I would (re)act if I'd be if such situation (making me a bit disappointed in myself when trying to answer it objectively). Certainly the fact I'm the same age as they're now made me realize the impact of the sacrifice better and made the story even more powerful/beautiful than it already was

Highly recommended even I you're not a tragedy lover (I normally stay clear away from tragedy)

I never, ever felt this touching while reading a manga. No joke.
This isn't usual high school shoujo love.
This is TRUE LOVE.
This manga is amazing. Just... Amazing.
I wish I could give more than 10, but too bad I can't. D:
I SO TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS to anyone or everyone who has experienced love.
It's a real tearjerker than Romance movies.
This manga is a real deal in tear jerker, I promise.

Plot-wise, the first one shot was well executed, the twist was nice - although you could totally see it coming ( I guess the satisfaction comes from you confirming it?) while the idea of an everlasting live may seem romantic, It doesn't really seem realistic and may actually be downright sad and depressing.

Flaws aside, this one shot is a pretty good read, the art is clean and the ending, a happy one. While I might have been harsh on this one-shot, I liked it and still reread it from time to time.

The second one had a lot of potential, but my oh my did it veer off course... I almost flipped my desk in anger when I finished it. The concept of reincarnation is pretty neat and is one of my favourite themes to look for in manga series, but that still didn't save the one-shot for me. The whole story actually felt kind of "forced" like a commentator earlier had mentioned - like it had to end "that" way. It might have been because the one-shots were published in Betsucomi and editors encourage mangakas to write about hetero couples, but in my opinion, it might have been better if Yasuko-sensei left the two protagonists as is.

The third one was pretty average, it was cliche but was still fun to read and I guess the female MC was likable to a certain degree. I didn't have any high expectations reading it so it was alright.

Overall, this collection was decent, I'd recommend people read the first story and decide whether they'd want to continue on from there,

I loved the first story, liked the third story, and got irritated by the second story. My advice: Read just stories 1 & 3; story 2 would pull the rating down.

Incidentally, my issues with story 2 are these:

Solid set of oneshots. Each story had it's own distinct story and interesting aspects to them. Since they were oneshots, the endings were a bit abrupt but I felt all three stories had relatively okay pacing (story two was a bit rushed/underdeveloped, IMO because the author was trying to fit too much in).

Fun read, worth it!

theres nothing of great note in this manga. bland characters, common art, unimaginative storyline - you name it, it is average. however, average does not mean bad, i still get through it because theres still some cute moments here and there. read this if you want to, but skip this if you dont have much time for manga reading and pick a more flavourful manga out there.

1. Hey unexpectedly interesting, aww it really was good, the story was executed wonderfully. 8/10


2. Man i realize this mangaka is a really good storyteller, writing a oneshot that doesn't feel short at all and at the same time so intriguing, how does she do that amazed. happy. love how the story ended. love the whole plot. 8.5/10

3. huhuh, thank goodness, this wasn't very long, i didn't find it very interesting, just ok. 7/10

Overall, the artwork was awesome, the stories no doubt was great, except for the last one, i felt it was borderline ok for me.
