So many ways to look at this, but let's start here: an incredibly beautiful soul arrives in the life of a young girl and innocently instills in her how to love and be loved, take care while being cared for, and expands her awareness of culture, people, and the world beyond her home. And then leaves.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

This one was so touching and the ending was so bittersweet. I’d love to see a sequel with Yaichi and Kana (maybe even Natsuki!) visiting Mike in Canada. But this totally made me feel all emotional and I would highly recommend it to anyone, it’s just one of those stories.

Deze was nog beter dan de eerste en i cried like a baby aan het einde ahhh. Het gaat gewoon meteen verder waar volume 1 achterbleef en ik las deze dus ook meteen erachteraan.

Het is gewoon zo’n mooi verhaal en deze was gewoon nog beter omdat Yaichi Mike en zijn relatie met zn broer nog meer begint te accepteren. De scene met Yaichi en de teacher was zoooooo powerful. Similarly, de scene aan het einde dat Yaichi en Mike afscheid nemen was zo mooi en emotioneel. Ik voelde gewoon dat die knuffel eraan kwam, en moest er zo hard om huilen.

Het was echt een heel goed gemaakt verhaal dat niet zo lang was, waardoor alle emoties heel hard hitte. Loved it.

Very touching! At the end of the day, this was a beautiful story about a family.

Yaichi made me proud!

So sweet and heartwarming.

I don't wan this series to be over! It's so good!

This little duo of manga books is so wonderful. And such a lesson in acceptance and love. What a delight!
