The girl's love/yuri genre has recently seen a great boom when it comes to manga creations. Every day, it seems there is another one-shot or volume one or two of some other girl's love manga that repeats the same tropes over and over again. So, to find a manga that genuinely pleased me brought me great joy, as the girl's love genre gets flooded with the same stuff.

The story is one as old as time, with the shy, tomboyish, closed-off girl and the weak, fragile character that helps the other develop. Nagisa finds herself without many friends and especially without someone to love or ... care about, living with regrets and trauma that hold her back from developing any fragment of social life. Mashiro is a girl that caused the trauma as becomes clear early on. The lack of understanding, however, propels the story into one with depth and life. There aren't any cliche antagonists like the childhood best friend or the former lover. There are no signs of fetishization, just the desire for cute moments. At the same time, you can feel the intimacy from your screen as they hold each other dearly, and only wonder how the story will unfold.

This is a story within a story, and as the past events try to haunt a happier future, I cannot wait to see how this story concludes.
