I can see where the negative reviews are coming from but if you especially like the slice of life genre, this is one you shouldn't miss.
This manga will overwhelm you emotionally. It is tragic, lovely, sweet, painful, lonely and doubtlessly fulfilling. This is a true gem, one of those rare manga that will make a deep impression and leave you satisfied with the beautifully executed ending.
Art:
started off as somewhat awkward but by the second half it improved tremendously
Story:
It's really nothing much but what makes this manga what it is is the way in which it was done. It has an air reminiscent of the

I had high hopes for this manga, to be blunt. I didn't expect it to be totally great and awesome, but this really wasn't even entertaining.
To start, we have the cliched sick child who has been sheltered his whole life. I didn't mind that part though. What I did mind (and really just didn't like) was the art style. I remember looking through pages and pages just wondering when I would see one whole, complete face, and it took quite a while. When I look at the pictures on the pages, I just feel like the mangaka was rushed and didn't finish the images. The story ...

WARNING: SPOILERS!!
OK... I made and effort and came on here to add this to my list of already read manga (usually I don't do this, I read ALOT of mangas and only the ones I really like, would I make an effort to add it.) but when I saw the first 2 reviews viewable on the main page, I felt a little sad. So I decided, I should definitely find the time to sit down and write a review for this manga. I personally feel that this manga deserves a 9 or 8.. still can't make up my mind about that yet but let me ...

So, it's been awhile scince I reviewed but I felt the urge to review this because it really pissed me off at times.
Story: 6/10 The story could have been great, but I felt like they just took the perfect opportunities and ruined them. Seriously, don't be fooled everytime you think something good is going to happen to set the story back on track it goes the different way. It wasn't all so bad thought, the secrets that are uncovered are interesting. At times I did wander what is going to happen next. I think the best part was the middle. But really I'm trying not to ...

The story was Good. 7/10- Reason: Cause it seemed rushed at the beginning and is kinda misleading when it comes to the characters and their roles. Example- the two cousins, you may think of something happening, and then the other guy appears. But it makes up by giving alot of plot twists and cliff-hangers.
Art-6/10: Reason- Like most yaoi lovers, you'd expect the art to be fairly detailed and show the passion of the characters. This manga at the beginning didn't have that much detail and some of the characters looked generic. But as the manga gets better as it continues. Some parts are sketchy ... |
