added this before vol2 but I think the story ended pretty happily
It’s sadder bc this happens in real life; it’s always the shitty adults that cause these things to happen
Aoi and Yanagi are an affectionate couple. Yanagi is going away for a short time and gives Aoi an android who looks exactly like him, as his stand in while he's away
it was bittersweet and was not expecting that plot twist; my favorite line was at the very end when Aoi notices and says "you're not crying today" and Yanagi smiles and replies "I was cured"
has similar elements to ch 2-3 of this manga

Ch 1-3
Seono and Hirono are twins. Due to his carelessness, Seono goes into heat and becomes pregnant with Yuma, Hirono's bf.
I cried reading this and the anger for Hirono grows every reread. I understand Seono's feelings about being an omega, but if I was Hirono I would resent them till I die. The two moved on for their child, but Hirono continued to stay stuck in that moment until he met them again. Ending is open to interpretation, but I hope Hirono ended up with someone else.
Two people in one body is having an operation to separate them.
I reread this and the sadness hits the same every time.
Everyone knew but him .
Love this author and recommend their other work! (same author as #8-10 on this list)
I watched the anime first and cried, that’s why it’s on this list. I just want to hug him
anime:
If you can get past the cheating (I wanted to strangle him) it was a good story. Mel really could not get a break in any chapter. The author really said ANGST for Mel’s backstory and present life problems.
I had a hunch on the purpose of Keisuke’s visit. I was sad for him, not only bc of how he was treated, but bc he thought happiness was fleeting. I liked how it ended though.
This is based off a novel, and Keisuke's marriage did not go happily every after. If the story continues to be adapted I will delete this bc I can't believe the two of them got together in the end. The character I feel the biggest pity for is Keisuke's son.
