Difficult to follow

The art work and the flow of the story makes it difficult to understand. Although I only understood like 70% of it, I still enjoyed it.

A really good manga

I enjoyed it overall. I liked the plot, I liked the characters, I didn't love (but I also didn't hate) the ending. It was weirdly a little slow for such a short manga but not too slow imo. If you're looking for a shoujo with plot and some action, then try this one. The art is a little meh but I still liked it.

Wow this is fantastic

An amazing one shot that makes you feel connected to the characters and their lives. They feel real and fleshed out and that's hard to do in a one shot. It has a very melancholic tone, as they struggle to find their most important person and it's simply astounding. One of my favourite short stories ever.I think it's best read slowly while taking the time to understand the relationship between the characters. The art isn't the greatest but damn it has a very nice tone and melancholic feeling.

One of a kind, and I don't mind the weird swords. But what is with the ending?! Couldn't the guy just have escaped 😕 Why didn't he?! Other than that confusing part, it's a decent story.

Refreshing and Interesting

I really enjoyed it.

Sometimes, I get tired of the same plot motifs. This story took some unexpected turns. Although, it seemed to move slowly, the mystery of what was going on kept me reading.
I admit, the plot can be hard to follow. But that's because the author didn't spoon feed the reader every little piece of information. Some of the story is subtly conveyed, other parts are left for the reader to determine.
I particularly liked the ending. Not what I expected, but it is an acceptable ending!

Definitely worth spending the hour or two to read!!!

The art was mentioned on other comments, and it is kind of rough, but in a very good way, it gives edginess to the characters.
It was full of suspense, I was seeing enemies everywhere and you never know for whom should you root or trust... that was refreshing. That's why I don't think the pace was slow, it's just that is full of subtleties. Except for the last chapter, it felt rushed.
The ending... I still don't know what to think about the ending. I can only say do not expect a fulfilling ending, you'll be disappointed.
Overall a good read.

Great story

by doushimomo

Rating: 9.6 / 10.0

The story was great. I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't all about the romance, and that the plot was strongly developed. Full of lots of twists and turns. The ending, though, gives me mixed feelings...

It's so sad, in a lot of ways. We don't know if Luca and Kazuna are alive or dead, and poor Dorii... I can't help feeling that if I were in Setsu and fake-Luca's collective shoes, I would not be so happy.

The art was unusual, not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked it, too. Although some of the faces were hard to tell apart...

Overall, though, well worth reading.

I'm too disappointed with the ending.
So, because it's Midorikawa Yuki's, I read it. The pace weirdly slow, eventhough it's just 3 volume. But I tried to keep ongoing eventhough I felt kind of bored. Into 3rd volume, the mood raised up, then the ending came, bah. I do not like the ending. Maybe just because It doesn't meet my hope, but

She 'Luca'-'Luca' all the series and ended in new journey with another man? Wha...

Even so, I like the part how she always remembering Luca, and IMO, the mangaka told it very well about how deep the feelings she had for him. So Midorikawa-sensei, so deep and heartwrenched when telling about the characters feelings, and that's

make me feel more bah with the ending

The artwork... IMO not good, yet kind of shady and calming. Awww if I have to describe her artwork, for me it's like the grass field where Setsu and Luca often played. So peaceful yet kind of fly, fly, fly

Pretty Good

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

Very refreshing plot, with some great twists. All the characters were likeable and I thought the art wasn't too bad. But I do agree with the comments about the plot being confusing--it definitely gets a bit muddled at the end, and it's hard to keep track of everything. Not impossible though, and definitely worth a read.
