Synopsis

Story 1: Butterfly Cloud, by ASHIHARA Hinako
N Island is a small island where all the kids know each other, and they're excited to meet the new transfer student from Tokyo. Fifth grader Kanta doesn't want it to be a girl, because his classmate Kyo is the only icky girl the island needs. In a way that makes Kyo happy -- because she's always known she wants to live out her life on the island as Kanta's wife someday. But the transfer student, Ritsuka, is a girl, and a shy one with a mother who's shunned by the island. So Kyo makes it her mission of good faith to assimilate Ritsuka, but then Kanta starts acting more interested in Ritsuka than in Kyo... When the main cloud splits into a butterfly cloud, which girl will be the one to separate from the rest...?

As the garden grows and changes, so do its gardeners... and as time becomes strained, so do their emotions...

Story 6: Great Waiters?, by WASHIO Mie
At 175 cm, Eisei (real name Haruyo) never thought she would ever find a boyfriend because of her height and her rather tomboyish looks and demeanour.

Having a chance to get closer to him is one thing, but has Kono also accidentally mistaken her for a boy?! How is Eisei supposed to express her feeling for him now? With a cafe filled with handsome waiters and the pretty girls who swoon over them, this 'pretty boy' has work cut out for her!

I was hesitant to write a review for this series of one-shot because no one really... appreciates (or likes) my reviews. Ha-ha. Oh well, here goes nothing. Haters gonna hate.

Heads up-
The stories aren't exactly 'bitter' as referred to in the title. Some may cause you to be a little teary but they aren't too sad.

Story 1: Butterfly Cloud
The first story was the most heart wrenching one out of the six and because of this it stood out. This story, in my opinion, also had a great story line that was refreshing compared to the typical shoujo manga.
The characters in this story change tremendously and so read more
