I hope she brings snacks for that homeless dude.

And I wanted to avoid drama
Sure my eyes swollen again due the tears
11/10

Feeling mixed about this. I thought Sono's antics were endearing during the main part of the manga; such as "kinda cute, but glad she isn't my girlfriend"; but now... this just points towards a relationship with serious conflict in the future. I'm not sure they're ready to tell the parents.

I... Really liked this manga. I dont like Sono, but the structure of the story was made to pull heartstrings, and I felt myself very moved by this piece.

Though if it ever came down to it, Sono wouldn't be my first choice....

Also I hope Hiroko gets a good end.

wow I didn't expect an other chapter after all those years. It was nice to have a conclusion thanks for translating and putting it here!

Its rare a rom manga makes me cry but this fid and crossheart did it too

Surprisingly good story to a point you can have it in one sentence, i.e., coming-of-age story of a girl who never gave on love. Yes, it may seem that Sono is an immature, spineless individual but if you try to zoom in. you will see a girl who just wants to be loved by her one and only dream girl. It maybe an escalated tit for tat internal war for Sono but the reward is always the wishful thinking of being by Sato's side. She grew up to a point of she considers the unfairness of Hiroki's circumstance. In the end, Sono was rewarded by getting her wish fulfilled.

It wasn't as bad as I feared, in the end. Pretty good stuff.

You project so hard, yo' mamma named you Cinemax.

Nezchan... I think you were the one responsible "Get of your cross, we need the wood" stuff. I'm going to need a collection of your comebacks...

Hiroko's spin off story

Thanks, I was wondering when this would be TL. It wasn't bad at the beginning, but I really don't buy Hiroko's years-long heartbreak...

Beautiful :’)

I feel like Satomi was given more development as a character. Like show us more about how she was in love with Sono... Perhaps the ending was a bit too rushed and strayed off the plot.

Wow so both where into the other even back then

it left a bitter taste in my mouth, what more can i say?

Ugh, I love Sato-chan, she's best girl, also the homeless guy was great.

We have Dark Asterisk, but any chance anyone has a clue about the doujins mentioned (宝石のようなもの/Something Like a Jewel) mentioned on the title page?
Would be interested to find them.

Just reread this (again), and dang it still really holds up.
