"Suki" to Ienai (One Shot)

The one feature that pointedly stands out in this story is the kawaiiness of both the leads. Their hair... Ooh so fluffy that I wanted to reach out and run my fingers through them! This of course lends the characters a good degree of personal touch and you sympathise more with their predicament.

Shiina and Kiri are siblings and Kiri while a player-prince in school loves his sister dearly always making her treats and soothing her and giving her rides to school. Only Shiina knows something about him that she shouldn't. That something incites more than brotherly love for Kiri in her and she feels weighed down with guilt and shame for such feelings. However, seeing as the newly single Kiri is a commodity all Shiina's friends want a piece of, she's forced to make a decision, whether to reveal her feelings or step out of the way and let her friends confess. Sheesh, that IS a quandry!

I heart the brotherly sisterly relation these two share right at the beginning of the story. Who wouldn't want a brother to dote on them so and brighten their day?! Other than that, the artwork is really sparkly in that Kiri's smile can completely lighten your mood and you smile right back at that bishie! The story progresses at a very realistic pace without being overly shoujo about it and portrays both leads in a very human light in their reactions and inhibitions. Overall I liked every scene regardless of whether it included kisses or not which is rare and in this case fully deserved! If you're feeling low about how meaningless love and affection is, I recommend this tale. read more
