Really liked this version of the story too :3 morishima and ikuhara was honestly a match made in heaven for me lol.
The only thing that I found kinda lame was that Lulu's brother was still alive. That backstory episode in the anime was something that really impacted me and I felt that him still being alive took away the impact on this version.
Anyway, lovely story, I liked the characters more here, will probably re-read some time
