Note: Tsuzuki Setsuri also did a manga based on the same story.

...the ending was very contrived, in my opinion. There was no purpose to it ending that way, other than "to be sad and deep". Like the author couldn't think of a way of ending it without tragedy. Anyways, if you like stories with a melancholic atmosphere, then you will like this a lot!
I personally enjoyed reading it until the ending. The story is very touching, and the ideas behind it are unique.
I had read the translation of this short story a year ago when my friend gave me the collection of short stories. Back then, I didn't really glance at the author and thought it was made by an English author. Imagine my surprise when I found this manga! I read the first page, thinking...."I've read this before....where have I...." and then it hit me. I'd already read the short story!
Yeah, major sense of deja-vu. But I liked it. I still cried at the end, despite knowing the story. I think the art helped, like meganoloso said, since it had the dark undertones. This one also stayed true to the short story more....
I like the art of this one better. But I think that people is confused, This one and the other one that is more shoujo like were written by the same author. It's just the artist that changes. My guess is that the one that was a one-shot and was drew by Tsuzuki Setsuri was enough successful to become a series, but for some reason the artist was changed. Even if it's like that, I have to say that the artist has great influence in the work, and not just because of the way they draw it.
Anyway, as far as I have read, it's a really good one.
I like this one better too.
The other one was just too overfluffed. I like shoujo and all, but it's too hyped up for my taste.
This one was nice. I like the simplicity. It's great.
