Awkward relationship between high-school boys, Sunohara and Shinomiya.
1 Volume (Complete)






I really don't know why, but I do feel.... a certain melancholy.
It was indeed a wonderful read: the atmosphere is incredibly endearing, the characters are lovely and compelling, and in the end you just want them to live happily ever after. I mean both the kids and the adults. The art is sweet to the verge of tears, really, however, like I said, in the end you can't quite grasp what is missing. Or perhaps nothing is really missing but a secure, positive sense of closure, in which circumstance it's not the artist's fault but the artist's genius. This is not to say the manga is anything near inconclusive or open-ended - it's not. There's only this painful colour (something to do with the art, can it be?) that makes you feel a little empty in the end, or perhaps with too many feelings. I've never experienced anything quite like this.
Please just read it.
