Very powerful and sad!

Seriously, I'm warning you: you'll cry...

It's a powerful story about child neglect, about children without a mother whose father just leaves one day, leaving them to take care of themselves.

The story kind of reminds me of Boku dake ga inai machi (Erased), which is about a similar topic (child abuse, with other similarities: MC tries to protect the girl, MC has no father, the kid gets "saved" )

The mangaka's other work, Love Letter, feels a bit like an opposite side of coin to this one (child abandonment from the parent's perspective). Having written both of these works, it makes me wonder if the mangaka went through a similar experience... I hope not!

Hits all the right notes in 1 volume

This one left me satisfied in a way that I rarely feel with shorter works. It's very well-structured, and once the author introduced the first hook, it never let go.

Like the simple yet elegant art, it has an understated vibe that really helps the emotions land. I appreciate how the author didn't feel the need to oversell the characters' conflicts.

Overall, this manga surprised me. It might be one of those works that stay with me for a while.

MY HEART

Exceptionally bittersweet. I can't read this one without crying. There's some desperation of being a young kid who can't do anything or protect anyone that strikes my heart. The artwork is beautiful and touching and the mangaka does a marvelous job conveying emotion.

Such a beautiful story

If I had only 1 small nitpick, it would have been nice to see

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Them meet again. Yes, it's heavily implied they would meet again and probably get together, but it didn't even have to be another chapter. Just another page or 2 of him becoming a pro soccer player and she becoming his bride.


But eh, still really good.

A sad tale, but very much a worthwhile one. Love it.

I won't say much about this manga; what I really have to say I already did in a somewhat long review. This manga has a real-seeming portrayal of a very harrowing situation in some kids' lives, and along the way it has some important life lessons that should even apply to adults. Life's hard, but don't give up. The romance is very good, and there's a sense of mystery to the story itself. This manga will likely make you cry. Be careful.

This is NOT a light read!

Don't be fooled by people saying this is a light read; this it is not! It's heavy, depressing and it gave me the ugly cry... But the story was incredibly beautiful (and very well written) and definitely worth your time. This moved my soul.

I still gave it a 9/10, because it felt incomplete. You'll know what I mean, when you get to the last page (-_-)

Sad when it ended...

The pacing and story telling was good. The story was subtle and I feel that the characters actually lived. I often missed that living character feel in other manga and I think this is what makes it special. The issues doesn't really surprise me though... It can really happen in real life and reading this, it makes us think about life. Haaa... I like it very much.. I actually feel sad when it ended.. Thats a first-time for me...

Excelent manga

Art is good. Story is consistent and well thought. It all comes through as quite emotional piece that is not over the top. I am sad that it is such a short story. Although there is wasted potential to tell more, author uses it to deliver feeling of sadness and loss.
