Given that this is a doujinshi, there is absolutely no possibility for something this genuinely enjoyable to get serialized. However, there are some things that are completely fine as they are.This one-shot is a fantastic example of that and shows how people should enjoy life, hinted through the relationship between the main character Hanayo, and the popular girl Shiroyama.
It all begins with Hanayo reflecting on an event that happened in his past. That event being the day that he caught Shiroyama meeting with a strange man near his workplace (prostitution). Of course, the overall set-up gives the reader the idea that some sort of relationship

would develop for these two. Though, the expected romantic feelings are shown in a more realistic fashion, where the protagonist is concerned for her rather than loving her.
Believable character interaction was the definite strength of the story, and the symbolism of Shiroyama and the snow appearing in several parts, gives the doujin a unique depth and maturity. The story doesn't please the readers with the things that they actually want, but instead works its way into creating an ending that makes the readers interpret and analyze why it had that sort of outcome.Overall, the resulting moral of the story indicates how things come and go, like how snow appears every once in awhile. When that time comes, it's best to enjoy those moments while they last and stay strong when it is all gone.
