I had read the first one before somewhere. However, I did like the second one. I have read so many josei romance and I had though I had read all the ones I would like already previously save the brand new ones that are just pubished guess I can still find some good one though if I look : )
First Story: A waitress living her life with as there is no purpose for her to be happy. She turns down invitations and even possible love confession because it was her mission not be happy. The reason is due to her family situation in which she believes that the best way to repent for the mistakes committed by her father is by punishing herself until the day when a carefree motorcycle champion asks her to bear his child!
Although I enjoyed reading this, I couldn't help but to shout stupid few times. The girl is putting her life at risk by accepting a stranger invitation to bear his child even if she owes him for saving her. In one scene, she said that she wanted to die and asked a suspected killer to finish her off, but then when thinks of selling her and violating her, she suddenly screams. Good thing is that she didn't get pregnant, after all.
The second story: A mystery thriller tale of an amnestic girl who was orphaned and lost everything due to a fire incident. She is investigating a possible drug ring in the premises of an all-boys school and here she meets somebody who would change her life and her Future.
I enjoyed reading this, I was turning the pages as fast as I could because It seemed that I was watching a Hollywood thriller movie. Forgetting memories, non-healing scars and those memories of those who could not forget!
Both stories had characters were living a saddened life due of past events. In the first story, our waitress as I outlined previously and in the second story we have Hanako, a man who lived with sad memories to take care of Makato who forgot her own memories.
