I came across this manga as a hardcopy when I was a middle schooler. It was in a run down 2nd hand book shop, there are 3 volumes there, and something about the art, despite not in my alley at that time (I used to go for catchy shoujo styles only) really hooked me in. A manga that no one around me ever heard of, nor could I tell about it to friends because of how niche it is, make it feels so personal now. . Just today, as a working adult, I suddenly got the urge to search for it again. Even tho I've already forgotten the title, I still remembered the art, the lovely story, the liberating sensation I got from reading it, that's just how strong this manga's impact is to my memory. After using random keywords on google, I finally found this manga again. And reading it again, I feel that it is even more wonderful than I remembered. I feel so lucky that I could came across this series at that time... Or else I could've missed on this gold. Now I'm being left empty knowing the story will never be finished. Maybe it's just like the 'Blue Geranium', maybe Gisele would continue to surprise others despite more unexpected challenges ahead, maybe Eric would finally push through and get recognized, maybe they'll get estranged again and reconcile again... Wow it's just limitless.
