Synopsis

Love Letter
It is World War II. Deemed as the enemy of the entire world, Japan has become the hapless victim of frequent bombings and aerial attacks. In this era of endless strife and widespread uncertainty for the future, love blossoms between two young individuals, Chieko Mochida and Toshio Anazawa.

Despite their mutual feelings, the ongoing crisis and their own difficult backgrounds constantly keep the couple separated. After Toshio joins the military to protect the country, the distance between the two increases even further. Nevertheless, Chieko and Toshio wholeheartedly persist with their relationship through love letters—all while having to face the brutal consequences of war.

Half & Half
On the way to his art school in Tokyo, ambitious Shinichi Nagakawa gets involved in a road accident alongside an unfamiliar girl. When the two regain consciousness, seemingly alone in a bizarre blank space, a mysterious voice suddenly reveals that they are dead. However, there is a way for one of them to be revived: the other one has to sacrifice themselves.

Taken aback by the situation, the duo is given seven days to make their decision—a period of time where they will also be sharing their emotions and sensations. While initially reluctant, the girl eventually opens up to Shinichi and introduces herself as Yuuki Sanada. As the final day approaches, Shinichi and Yuuki grow more intimate, gradually discovering their lingering regrets and genuine affections for each other.

Azusa
Having had feelings for his senior, Hazuki Itou, since the beginning of high school, Kenji Kuroda finally gathers up the courage to give her a love letter. However, the letter is accidentally sent to another girl named Azusa Itou, who happily accepts Kenji's confession. Swayed by Azusa's cheerful and ingenuous nature, Kenji hesitantly begins to go out with her.

As Kenji's heart continues to waver because of Azusa, what will become of the two's relationship that started merely from a mistake?

Beware, for the following review may contain /spoilers/.

Love Letter is a one volume manga by Seo Kouji, and is somewhat a deviation from his other works. While a lot of Seo-sensei’s manga are high school romances with ecchi on the side, Love Letter is a tragedy based on real historical events. Mochida Chieko and Anazawa Toshio, two teenagers, fall in love during the events of World War II. Fate, however, does not allow them to be together, for Toshio enlists into the aeronautical army and joins the air force. Later on, he is assigned to the special force – otherwise known as the Kamikaze, ...

Preliminary (1/4 eps)
The first time I heard about Half & Half I wasn't really interest at first because it was only a one chapter manga and I thought that it wouldn't be too interesting because the character and story would feel incomplete but when I realized that a mangaka was Kouji Seo (The same person who created Suzuka), I immediately decided to read it and what I read was something that nearly brought tears to my eyes.

Story: The story is pretty good, extremely short and direct to the point. The best thing about this is that it is unique ( I have never read anything that comes ...

Preliminary (2/4 eps)
This is amazing. As expected of Seo. The feelings that are present through this remind me of makoto Shinkai's voices of a distant star. Tears were on the edge of my eyes when i read this 100 page manga. Plz read, it will only take 10 minutes or less. and plz read while listening to Ef - A Tale Of Memories Sorrowful feather
