Well personally if i was kanae chan i would find her having a copy of all my possessions and a wig that looks like my own hair a little odd but it was still a good romance

This artist is very talented and can write amazing stories! I truly like everything Rokuroichi posts! Chizuru and Kanade are very close! Their hearts beat together as of only one large heart that lives within them at the same time !

I never really like this manga, it is too sensitive for me... It makes me feel tiring and sad, until the ending of course, by then I just breath out in relief and think the mc is a super lucky girl. The supposed unrequited aspect is definitely the reason why this story feels so depressing to me.

Still, as I was rereading it, I realized how this story portraited so well the image of an "unreachable" crush, and the feeling of falling for them. Even though Chizuru constantly praised Kanae, there were moments when she was intimidated by Kanae. She put Kanae on such a high pedestal that the idea of being loved back seemed impossible. She chose the most passive way to express her feelings, and only for herself to see. Because of this, despite being the embodiment of beauty in Chizuru's mind, Kanae still appeared to be stone cold (and so so far away) at the same time, both to Chizuru and the reader. When the feeling turned out to be mutual, then you saw Kanae expressed more emotions.

Maybe I read into this too much, but I just like the idea of breaking someone's inhuman (good or bad) image in one's mind, revealing that someone to be just a normal person, and not so unreachable as you first thought.

Anw, that's another way to read this manga. I still don't really like it, but it is a fine read.

P.s: Just bring your crush under the sunset with you, then your feeling will be returned.

I'm impressed. That's a fantastic interpretation. Kudos.

I read this manga a few years ago and didn’t think much of it, seeing it as just a way to pass the time. But now that I’m re-reading it, I find myself understanding Chizuru a bit more. Chizuru's character is cute, and her behavior toward Kanae is endearingly childish, which perfectly goes will with Rokuroichi's portrayal of her (from my interpretation). Her attempts to buy things that matches her crush reveal just how inexperienced she is with these feelings, showing her innocent desire to feel closer to Kanae. it somewhat adds a charming layer to chizurus personality. ( but I cant say this isn't a non-common trope but it works well for this short manga) :)

i love rokuroichi's yuri. they were a huge art inspiration for me for years and years, and i own a physical copy of this specific manga too. i think their main thing was het unfortunately, and their yuri career was pretty short lived... but they have this incredible knack for evocative paneling and making all the touches and kisses feel real and intimate. i hope one day i can draw makeouts as well as they did
