The only word that comes to mind for this manga is... ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS (but that also applies to Aoki Kotomi's other works as well). This manga is so good. Fabulous artwork, beautiful (and bittersweet) storyline, and definitely unforgetable characters. I am so looking forward to reading the rest of this manga. I can't wait to see Takuma and Mayu older and see how their relationship unfolds and blooms. This is definitely a manga you should check out if you haven't yet.. It's a really sweet one.

The story i find is really sad. I like how the two main characters Takuma and Mayu love each other soo much and their bond that seem to grow and get stronger every time. I just hope that Takuma does not die at the end T_T

so sadl T.T, the tragedy genre scares me, but its just so good i have to keep reading

omg the first time i read this lol i like freaking cried by chapter 5!!!!!!!!!!
its so sad but so sweeeeeeet

Looks interesting , and sweet
I want to read it o3o

This one is really sad. This mangaka does a lot of happylike manga...it's an interesting change of pace.

I absolutely adore this manga. I stop everything to read it whenever there's a new chapter out. I still wonder what will be the end, though.

There is a lot of drama in this manga. It was not a smooth sailing relationship but from what it seems to have a happy ending based on the raw scan I saw. I just have to wait for scanlation to better understand the story

This is such a good manga, I even downloaded all the RAWS, although I can't read Japanese. Aoki Kotomi just keeps getting better with each new manga in my opinion, and with this one she really shows what she can do!.

I'm not a huge fan of the artwork but I must say it has an absolute brilliant story to it. So sad and so much drama but thats what makes it so great. Its a must read, I'm still eagerly waiting for the next chapter. ^^

Spoiler:

This story is pretty good but I started getting angry at the guy for his stupidity...well, I know he was doing it all for the girl but still.....I think Mayu would rather be with him even if he didn't have alot of time.

Other than that though....it's sweet how they are so faithful to each other. ^^

I really love this manga, but it's so damn depressing. D:

Can't wait to see them together. It's funny how takuma laughed when mayu farted coz she was so nervous.. hahaha. Anyways, i also hope takuma won't die at the end and that they get together.. XD

Hahaha. ^^; Glad I'm not the only one that was frustrated at that.

I love this manga, it can be funny but also very sad sometimes... The characters are fantastic... the artwork is nice...

I love this manga , I love shoujo great!!
