Wonder if this should have a tragedy tag

IM NOT CRYING YOU'RE ALL CRYING

IM NOT CRYING YOU'RE ALL CRYING

WHO PUT THESE TEARS IN MY EYES

Oh, this is beautiful. There have been a number of stories which ends in tragedy because one of the lovers passed away, and this is the perfect example to show that it doesn't have to be a tragedy ! The other can move on and find happiness without forgetting her past love. I've been missing this kind of story.

Essentially, a manga that features a character death even if it's not the main couple, it's commonly tagged with Tragedy. This story was great, kind of bittersweet. Wish it was a bit longer!

this was great

That was really sweet

Did anyone else find that weird or am I crazy?

NGL I was expecting a twist at some point that she was secretly a ghost or reincarnated or something.

Still a lovely little story.

If I am honest I felt a bit uncomfortable reading it but the end of the first chapter helped because then I was okay to believe she had real feelings. And the second chapter felt unecessary to me...

Short and sweet. Nothing wrong with that

There is something I don't understand ar the end. Haruko smiles with her mouth closed, while Nanoka smiles with her mouth open. At the end, after the big "foosh" I feel like we are seeing Haruko (especially as the point of view seems to be opposite to Nanoka), but her cloths are the same of Nanoka... I'm either missing something, or reading too much into it.

Regardless, it was a nice read!

I agree. It could have stopped with the first chapter, it would have been perfectly fine.

i think it's rare to see stories about dead crush doppelgangers that don't have intense of amounts of angst in them so this is pretty nice.

Well that was bittersweet

The title is a bit disturbing to me for some reason.

I agree that the second chapter was unneeded. It didn't really add anything to the story or the characters.

I think that last part with the "foosh" was like a symbolic way to tell that probably Haruko finally transcends and can finally rest in peace since her spirit was worried about Megu being alone and sad. But now that she finally found someone that she loved she's in peace. About Nanoka, I think when she felt the wind and turned she probably realized Haruko is in peace now and she smiled

The second "chapter" is more of an epilogue I think, maybe added for the print version going by the author's note? Which is why the first chapter is a complete story on its own.

The second "chapter" is indeed just an epilogue that was released by the author as part of an "after story" collection. The collection contained multiple short epilogues of various doujins of hers and was released one year after this doujin released, so we included the relevant one here. Chapter 1 is the full print release of the original doujin.

We'll also do the relevant epilogue shorts of upcoming doujins that are currently being worked on as well, but each work is completely standalone. The epilogues are just the author wanting to draw the characters again and provide an update how the characters lives are going after a period of time.

What we'll do with this one and the following ones is move the epilogue out of the main release, so that each story is as it is in the release print, and then we'll move the epilogues into an anthology to avoid confusion.
