5.0

After I already fell in love with Shinoa's short stories, I of course had to read this series as well!!

The art style alone would make this manga worth buying. Almost like a fairy tale with it's soft, dreamlike lines–yet bewitching.

While the art is very fitting, it holds a contrast to the love story about friendship and unrequited love, at the same time.

Are you going to that person's place again?

I'm glad the feelings portrayed are neither frustrating nor too heavy. Instead, the story is told with an almost beautifully soft melancholy; gentle and mature.

Whether hidden behind Fuyuki's yearning smile or Eri crying at the phone, the interactions between the characters are surrounded by a bittersweet atmosphere.

I'm already your number one. That's why this relationship between us doesn't ever have to change.

Although, admittedly, I thought the pace of the first volume was a bit too slow, I now find the time the story takes to develop, to let each moment really sink in, especially captivating.

I wholeheartedly recommend this yuri!
