Halfway through reading this, I thought I'd take a look at some of the other work from the mangaka and my jaw DROPPED when I saw ten count on the list. it makes sense considering I really liked this manga, but wow. I think this story was really good for what it was: an adaptation. I see a lot of people complaining that Kizuna's (mc) past was never fleshed out, but her past wasn't the point. this adaptation of the novel focused solely on the relationship between the three characters (Yuki, Kizuna, Yusei) and I think it was done brilliantly. Rihito has this way of making even the small things shine in their own way. I'm happy I read this!
I LOVED THIS STORY. If you've ever read Fake by Matoh Sanami-sensei, this story for some reason reminded me of the atmosphere she created in that manga. The main character is sort of like Carol if she were more callous and hardened lol. It definitely doesn't read like a stereotypical shoujo which is extremely refreshing, and there's a great amount of depth to the love interests. Sometimes you seek a genre because you know what to expect, like if you're looking for the stereotypical shoujo storyline; but it's also good to have some exceptions, and this is definitely one of them.

this honestly made me cry I literary love this so much. The ending was a bittt rushed tho
Super mad about this. Good story that would have been better if she chose Yuki. Although both of them were very manipulative, I feel that Yuki really loved her for her. Very upset about how it turned out.

A girl lead who look like Yusei's ex (male lead), the ex has agoraphobia. She committed suicide awhile ago in front of yusei.
Yuki, yusei's cousin, found Kizune (female lead) and asked her to be yusei's model because yusei's condition after the ex died was really bad..
Yusei is the artist, yuki is a cross dresser tho he's straight. Kizune is really strong willed, cute, honest, and knows how to value herself. She's really cute.

I love how one of the tags is simply "not yaoi" like damn! :) But this was a really good romance manga. A little different from your average one which is great if you want something out of the box but not too far out. :)
not bad. kind of eyes-opener; those bittersweet life and not so full of flowers reality. me likey but its end kinda abrupt w/o proper details
<3 omo I love it huhuhuhuhuhu I wanna know how Yuki's life panned out huhuhuhhu

Still my favorite shoujo manga. Makes me tear up a bit when re-reading. I loved the protagonists' names (Etoh Kizuna, Inoue Yoshioki, Asai Yusei). Tho I honestly shipped the mc with the sweet, crossdressing guy TwT

I love the tag "not yaoi" omf xD But yes indeed, it's not yaoi (not even a little shounen ai, just straight ships), but I actually enjoyed it way more than I thought I would... I love this so much I cri ;;<3 I'm so attached to these characters now aaahh, they were so lovable and interesting and I ship them so hard... I have gone back to my shoujo roots after only reading yaoi for a while xD<3
