If I could give more than 5 stars then I would. This is genuinely one of the most touching and inspiring mangas I've ever read. What happens when two forces do their best to better themselves? When they accept they can live "normal" lives when they accept who they are and find ways to accommodate themselves? I felt this story in my soul. I honestly don't think I can phrase it any stronger than that.
The characters, Uno and Kobayashi, are unlikely friends who navigate their youth together. I don't think I've ever seen a more accepting and heart-warming friendship in any story. These are big claims, I know, but I really do feel like they ring true.
The synopsis might seem a little trope-y, but it really truly doesn't do the actual story justice.
I cried multiple times during my read, and took some time to reflect on myself and my life too. I really, really resonate with Uno as someone whoalso had to learn to socialise step-by-step as a teenager through notetaking and unwavering routine . I think everyone would relate to some aspect of this story despite it being a high school coming of age manga. After all, we're always growing and are in a constant state of "coming of age" - it's just that the age is undetermined. I think all the characters show a little of this idea, actually.
This publishes in a few days I believe, and I will be purchasing it immediately. This is critical reading for everyone.
Absolutely astounding.
