I liked the slow paced plot. It was fluffy. And I am Happy for the main couple..Just Sumi..I'm sad that It seems he didn't or couldn't find happiness. Something bad happned to him..and I really hoped Yumi and Sumi could meet and talk again cause they are Brothers and I don't understand why they drifted. It was really an interesting plot. And I loved the countryside parts! Like the starry Sky in the nature. I Hope there will be maybe in the future a story about Sumi finding happiness!! There should be!
I was kind of disappointed? I'm glad they ended up together but I didn't like the beginning. I didn't like the substituting thing and how it happened more than once. I'd don't like how toshi was such a manipulative sob. I mean. He used sumi. Then lies to yumi.idk I love childhood friend stories but this could have gone way better but it didn't. But w/e they seem happy.
Read this because I saw it in the album of someone who left a really well thought out comment in a discussion on this site. It was kind of a weird way to find it but I am SO GLAD I did. While not always the happiest of stories both the main tale and the one shots are excellent. Loved the artwork as well. It was different and although graphic, not gratuitous. Mangakas who are able to integrate sex into a story so it's a meaningful part of what they are try to convey and not merely smut for smut's sake impress me the most.
I would have enjoyed this much more if they would have gotten together sooner. I don't care that he slept with the brother but it just took way to long for them to end up together. I probably won't read this again.
