damn bro is there like a "heartwarming but also kinda soulcrushing" tag? You could make a religion out of this

Mmmm...

Pain.

We got wholesomeness but at what cost?
Pain.

wholesome pain

who's cutting onions?

we need that type of tag omfg. I went into this expecting wholesomeness, and then I fucking bawled at the end.

who's cutting onions?

and lots of them

Why’d I have to zoom n and read the pile of cards T_T

That hurt my heart

This is really beautiful. Our parents always die one way or another, but if there were any happy times, we still get to cherish them even if they are fewer than the bad times. I think this story is a beautiful ode to life with all its chaotic inconsistencies and the love that can bring us all together underneath it all.

damn this really hit me where it hurts

Ow

Wow... yeah, ouch. Didn't hear any weather reports about torrential rain today, but alas, here we are.

Tsuruse usually makes pretty comedic one-shots, so I was quite surprised about this.

But this is actually really good mood piece and has right mix of barely masked existential despair and love between parent and child. It's not cheap and almost abusive as some death-related stuff is in fiction. Tsuruse just left that part out, and focused on how this girl felt when her mother was still alive, and afterwards when she grew up.

Man, is this Autobiographic? I hope not, but it feels real. -__-

Ninjas, man. You can't see them, but they're there, just cutting away. ;__;

Well, thank you, it's not like I needed a heart anyway...

Wake up read this and then sadness

one of the best short oneshots i've ever read. this does such a good job of characterizing Ruka's mother through small details, i'm kind of in awe.

I came here to escape reality but it still slapped me in the face. I love being clueless, but the possible scenarios and stories make me both heartwarming and sad at the same time. At least I don't want to know what happened to the mother. Dust got into my eyes.

I now did it too and I have to cry even more

"EMOTIONAL SUPPORT: MY LOVING MOTHER"

Well I can see why you'd need it. I mean, the story is like this...
Good for you I guess.

fun fact, Ruka (daughter) is in another story from this artist. (A Story About a Woman Who Wants Her Cute and Bratty Subordinate to Call Her by Her First Name)

Tsuruse you bastard, how could you

The comment about the mom quitting smoking made me think of a much more dark piece on this website

Bro never did I think that reading anything on this site would make me legit tear up lmao. Fucking hell dude this one hurts
