First 2 are beautiful

by Larawolfgirl

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

The first two are very lovely stories with true emotion. The last one is okay. It has a different feel than the other two. There is a morbidness to it and it is a lot shorter than the other two. The last one's story is also not flushed out as well.

The first two stories are so pretty T-T I cried so much. It's a must read.
The last story is a bit creepy but nothing too weird.
I'm in love with the second story <3 I haven't cried so much in a long time.

Oh gosh, I can't help but cry when I read the second story. It was so, so, so touching!!! The first story was awesome too but the third one is just plain creepy. shivers Don't read the last story (but you'll still end up reading it 'cause you're curious about it) just read the first two and it's enough to bring tears to your eyes. So heartwarming!!

The first 2 are worth reading :O

If you love a touching, sad and heartbreaking short read, this is it. In under 90 pages the author gives us a story of loss and tragedy that is woven perfectly together. It made my eyes water.
Also, the second brought the tears down my face like a current, it's so touching!

MUST READ

The second story is the best of all. I was moved to tears. I knew that was her father from the very beginning (because I read a similar manga which is like this too), but still, it just touches me. ):

The last story just gives me the creeps. I always hate dolls. OMG.

i cried

by foreverangelprincess

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

the first two stories were really good. i cried even though it was a happy ending. but what made me laugh in the second story (maybe a spoiler) was the part where the guy asked her "have you been seeing a ghost" instead of are you imagining things or are you crazy. i'm pretty sure that if someone told you that there's a person there, talking to them (who can't be seen) the first thing the majority would think is that they are hallucinating. well i just found his reaction interesting. however, the stories were great. and as other may have mentioned, the third one was rather out there. i hate dolls so it did creep me out a lil. but i would recommend this for sure

Just Great

The second story was one of the greatest one-shots ever. It is definitely a must read, a pure pleasure. I have to say that I rarely got so overwhelmed by emotions. The author has a way of telling things that's just so delicate, but at the same time profound. You really have to experience it to understand.
I only gave it a 9/10 because of the 2 other stories.

Touching

Very sad love stories, but very well told stories. Even though they are sad they also have hope in them making them beautiful. I had to admit I got a bit teary eyed.

This manga has very touching one-shots, especially the second one. The mangaka has always been one of my favorites, and this manga is definitely one that won't leave you unsatisfied! 🙂
The last story was...weird though. Don't bother reading it if you're more a romantic like me
