[SPOILER ALERT] It happened to me that I came across this manga before reading its prequel, Doushitemo Furetakunai and it made me want to read DF. But even after I've gone for DF, this one still holds special place in my heart. While Shima and Toga started off with pure physical relationship and with the love in denial that made your heartache. This one is kind of opposite and it's even more heart clenching for me. To always be with someone you love for 3 years, to be so close to them, yet being 'unable' to caress them nor to kiss them is really painful. The DF couple still got the pleasure from physical relationship, but for Deguchi, he couldn't get anything but being hurt more and more when he fell deeper in this love. While DF love kinda feels a bit surreal, the love story in this manga feels so realistic; the scenes, the faces and the situations were so alive, it could touch and and make your heart trembled. Together with the small humors here and there in this manga, this story seems to be given life. The scene where Onoda chasing after Deguchi and they both stopped when they crashed into those bicycles also does well in embedding itself in my head, like there is no such love confession scene in any other manga/movie, it's this manga's and only this manga's thing. It's simple but really unique. I truly wish this will be made into live action just like Doushitemo Furetakunai... ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
