I know, the author wrote the date walk out scene, to show Oshimi choosing Mutsuki over her boyfriend. but, honestly, how obsessed could Osimi be with Mutsuki, if she forgot about the track meet, in the first plase?

She doesn't say she forgot. She says she made plans without thinking about it—as in, she just said "yes" before realizing that day was the meet. Nor does it say she didn't remember until she was already there, simply that she didn't decide to go until it was already time. I could be wrong, but I think what going on is that she was conflicted about going, but at the last minute decided she had to go.

It is a bit odd that "And yet, why is it I'm so obsessed with Mutsuki, more than anyone else?" is immediately followed by "Without thinking about it, I made plans for today, but...", but I think her behavior here is consistent with her emotions depicted throughout the story, particularly with her ambivalence about her own feelings towards Mutsuki.

Kodama Naoko works are alwys happy and sad at the same time ._. And it makes me sad but still love her xD

That's exactly how I feel about her and her work. Most fitting description imo xD it's just so confusing to read her work '-' I don't know if I should be happy or sad

I liked this work overall, but the ending was too cruel for me to actually like it. It's nice how both characters accept their respective defeats, just the one-sided love juxtaposed with what that seems to say about Oshimi's self worth and flaws is too bitter.

Whenever I get too tired of all the angsty manga nowadays, I know I can turn to the author of Renai Manga for some fluffy, uncomplicated l......

I like some of her works (mostly oneshot) where you have some bitter aftertaste, a perfect cup of tea when you want other than pure and bright yuri.
