manganiME's manga / #unrequited love(35)

An emotional story with a tragic aspect. There are two kinds of "triangles"--a love one and a friendship one. Three childhood friends (two guys and a girl) have been comforting/hugging and close since nursery school. But in high school, tension arises when the first boy, the crybaby of the group, clearly loves another and the girl loves the crybaby boy who loves the second more serious boy. Of course, this sets up for angst and pain....and the ending is what you'd call bittersweet. Happy, but with a sadness, too. A good read. (Seems like it's a one-shot divided into two for this upload, so it's a quick read.) This had enough emotional conflict that it could have been a longer, one-volume/multi-chapter manga. Wish it had. I like the art.
