Love Letter: Goro just got out from jail, but a police officer wants to talk to him right away. He announces to him that Goro's wife is dead and that he has to go to Chiba and take her body. Goro has no recollection of having a wife, but then he remembers he married a Chinese woman a long time ago. He married her for her money, and she married him because she needed a Japanese visa to work. In fact, she's a prostitute who came to Japan hoping to find better life.
At first, Goro can't be bothered by this situation, but he goes to Chiba just because he can earn a lot of money. Later on, during his trip, Goro finds a letter she wrote him and through it he discovers the pure person that lies beneath this common prostitute. She is a woman of such kindness and love that Goro is moved to learn something about the woman he married. With those few words of love and tenderness, he understands her fears, her goals, and her hopes for the future -- a future that he knows will never come. Less...

as I looked at the comments, the one which sarah (who eats cupcakes) made brought me to read this manga. While the story is indeed sad, it didn't make me cry, which is a disappointment. I really like the art though, it is very realistic and well done.
oh my god i cried so hard!!!

ok well...let me tell you something
i dont cry easily, and even when i do, i dont cry much
but god...this made me literally break down and cry
you certainly wont expect yourself to cry by the end of the story while reading the first 2 chapters, but you will. i guarantee it.
honestly, the plot is predictable but it still tugs at your heartstrings
i think a mangaka who can make you cry even when he/she makes it pretty clear what the ending is going to be like is a really talented one.

heh, agree with fly2knight.
I dont know why... i read somewhere that this is a commonly used plot (not that i disagree) which they used to explain its not-so-high ratings, yet i cant help but feel touched by this story... -_-
It kinda brings tears to my eyes too esp at certain parts of the story... recommended read!

I can't stand reading this story - it not because its bad [I would have given it something higher if I could] but because I fine myself crying without even realizing it everytime I do read it. This is a beautiful story and I am glade I got a chance to read it.
So this is the book that the movie Falian came from?
