Why I smell Kitakawa flashback

That was sweet

;u;

I was expecting much worse with that angst tag, but that was very nice.

Kinda old fashioned.

A whole lot of wishful thinking, but who doesn't dream of dropping all the trappings of daily life and flying, if even for a moment.

This is... meh. I dunno but I just find the MC to be so off putting.

And just like that they go on a trip? What?

They'll be back home in a couple of days

It does seem like it was inspired by late 1990s or early 2000s type of oneshots.
And it's sad that I have now grown into a cynical adult so this does not work for me, but it kinda made me feel nostalgia. I wonder if some teen reading this felt the same kind of emotions that we used to feel when reading stories like this one.

The gal gets slapped across the face and her reaction is literally, "Ain't got time for this, see ya"

these are such nothing stories to me at this point, feels like something that would've come out 15 years ago. theyre a dime a dozen. like its sweet until you think about it for 5 seconds. then it's like, alright they go on this trip and realize they don't have any money and then they have to go home. riveting

I was expectin FAR worse when the "she has left the home, her parents came for her" card was played

I've been a sucker for this kind of story in the past, but I'll be honest--the driver for running away together has to be a bit bigger than "I feel kind of angsty and aimless and I don't feel like my fairly adequate stepmother understands me".

I mean, nobody has even told them they can't be together, let alone pushed the rich girl into an arranged marriage or something. Sometimes kids are actually just being kind of dumb.

Is it weird I though the one girl was a ghost? lol

MC is a sh**ty little brat, although I do say shame on step mother for putting her hands on her. They both suck.

and then they realize they both need degrees and can't find a job to earn money for food. and then it transitions to that other Throw Away Your Suits Manga lol

I mean it's a pretty nice one shot but looks more like close friendship. Anyway

Real life doesn’t work this way, sigh

I was about 90% sure she was a ghost who couldn't pass on until she fell in true love.

Yea idk, i think severe depression is a good enough reason for drastic decisions.

Tbh youd be surprised how many people can (and often have to) make do under such conditions and potentially be happier than in their restrictive situations before. If anything, i feel like the fact that both these characters are willing to go as far should give us an idea of how happy they were with their life up till then.

Ngl, I thought main girl would be inspired to be a maid for the rich girl. She'd get to be with her everyday and have something of a future that wouldn't require her to keep living life the way she was.

Damn, these bitches gay! Good for them, good for them.

Practical concerns aside, you only get one chance, in a lifetime to meet that special person, who changes your entire life. SOmetimes, you never get to meet them (which is a shame). I'm just going to be happy for them, and hope they move in with a cool auntie, who lives with her "roommate," who will take the two in.

Also, I still wish Shino was a ghost.

I'll agree with the rest of the cynicism here. This was silly and unconvincing: I never felt like the girls really stopped to think about what they'd actually do, apart from dreaming about what they could do.

Maybe they have been dreaming for a while, and they have some cash saved up? This story is a bit vague, and there are quite a few cynical assumptions here.

Um, no. They literally talked about it for the first time the previous day.

I don't know if it's partly the fact that I didn't really have a particularly angsty adolescence, but I couldn't see this as anything more than a "teenage rebellion", with zero thought put behind it. And seeing as what's-her-name supposedly "run away from home"... to her family's second house, I find it hard to imagine that she'd be prepared to get an actual job. I can only see them lasting as long as whatever cash/jewelry the rich girl had with her could last them, and them returning home in a maximum of four days.

Also, who in the world reads fairytales at 16 years old?

Is it weird I though the one girl was a ghost? lol

I was about 90% sure she was a ghost who couldn't pass on until she fell in true love.

I think it was the fact that she was completely white. Plus her wearing that ridiculous hat which looked like it came from three decades earlier than (what I assume to be) a modern setting. Perhaps it would make for a more interesting story if she was, honestly.

I think this one shot has been done before… can’t really remember when or who published it.
