This is something not everyone is gonna like, hell it's something most people (especially those in a relationship) would hate. Have you or someone you know ever listened to the song 'Scotty doesn't know' and felt strangely mad or fearful afterwards? It seems to be similar to that. Heads up yo: don't self insert yourself into a cheating story lmao, you're just setting yourself up to get angry.

These are fictional characters, characters with thoughts behind them crafted by the author to fulfill the story. Thoughts many readers will not understand (including me) but might be invested by.

I. Love. This. Story.

It's not perfect, but it doesn't ... have to be, it's beautiful in it's own right and something I enjoy so much I legitimately cry whenever I pick it up. The drama in this is so GOOD, I LOVE IT, but it's also the main reason the more vanilla type will be one to dislike it.

The characters are rather vague yet complex, it's difficult to figure out what exactly is going through the three main characters' heads, but that only adds to it's charm.

It's difficult to see Natsuki succumb to simple lust, it's understandable why Arata couldn't help himself from seeing red, it makes complete sense for the third party to not feel that much emotional attachment.

Many will not like it, but it's something I do. Maybe you might enjoy it too.

Just remember, there is no theme.

Honestly, nothing but the Art is decent about this one.

few spoilers ahead

The story is a 1 at best, childhood friends become lovers well that was what we didn't see, instead, we get thrown into a 2 chapter prologue that bounces around the backstory and context for the main 5 chapters which start-up in a college classroom planning a trip to the place where changes the main characters relationship for the rest of the story..... with the most manga/anime cliche of "Fever makes me act up" one thing leads to another and then one of 2 lovers cheats,

one of the most unrealistic stories I ... have ever read, the only thing that salvages the story is its somewhat decent art. which despite the terrible excuse of a plot makes you want to at least finish it.

The story could have been better if it was a long series as I think been a short run took away everything because the plot moves fast, not staying or exploring the characters and their emotions to better portray this situation.
