@Ryan
You say it's not depressing as fuck but even when I reread it today (cuz I just couldn't get it out of my head all night yesterday)...I bawled my eyes out even more than my first read...with my snot dripping down my nose...maybe cuz I knew already she escaped to spend her last moments with her friends, it was that much sadder... If something that makes you cry doesn't deserve that tag IDK what does.

You're confusing depression with cathartic sadness. The fact that you cry means it is not depressing, but cathartic: it pulls you in, but then releases you. True Depressing as fuck doesn't do that. It takes your soul, roughs it up, and doesn't let go, leaving you feeling empty, miserable, and dead inside.

This manga isn't like that.

It's sad that Kiyo never got to tell Miko that she loved her before she died... and it's sad that she died. Of course, I suppose there's no indication that she does actually love her anyway aside from, you know, the kissing. That "This is so weird" line makes it a bit suspect but who can say now that she's dead. I can only hope that the other girl she's with at the end is her new girlfriend... she must be, right? Right??

I want to believe!

Those Japanese really need to work on their constitutions. Able-bodied teens dropping dead without warning and such.

Meh. Story, characters, & their relationships are too bareboned for me to feel anything about the supposed tragedy.

When I read " Tomorrow didn't come for Kiyo ", I had to go back to that page a few times because, even though my heart started to hurt, my brain didn't process it. When it processed though, felt like I was hit by a train or something ;-;

I really like that panel, aesthetically, if not emotionally: just plain white text on a completely black background. From personal experience, I can tell that this is exactly how it feels when you're told a loved one has passed away: everything's dark, and just this one idea is pulsing in front of you, as your brain attempts and fails to process it.

i think kiyo really loved the mc. she didn't answer honestly because i think she knew about how bad her health condition would be. she said she escaped from the hospital. we can see that the MC is the first person she's goind to meet. for me that means she wanted to spend the few time she had left with MC. but it's just a personal opinion...

I think Kiyo thought that if she told MC she also liked her it'd be harder for MC to move on, y'know, 'ifs' would plague MC's mind.

On a side note, I was satisfied on how it turned out (aside from crying over this, all is well). Who wouldn't like Momono-sensei's art XD.

aww man ......that shit really hurt

As someone who lost a loved one ten years ago, I can confirm that the pain never goes away -- you just get better at living with it.

on a diff. note, if Miko and the others were seeing and talking to Kiyo's ghost/spirit, shouldn't a supernatural tag be added?

Dreaming of loved ones who died suddenly is not supernatural (speaking from personal experience). The fact that she was the last of their circle who had that dream is rather realistic: the closer you are to a person, the more you are traumatized, and less likely you are to make sense of your dreams. The other two girls were not as close to Kiyo, so they processed her loss faster, and their communication has helped Miko to give a specific form to her own psyche's attempts to cope with Kiyo's death and to repair itself, which is why she saw that dream.

@ Koveras: I lost a fiancé and our unborn child nearly 35 years ago and I can agree with you that that pain never goes away. A portion still remains in a small corner of my heart and every so often in March I get very melancholy and keep to myself. My wife of 20 years is very understanding and has never given me any bad issues about it, in fact, she has been a very supportive person in my life. This story always makes me cry but I think it is beautiful as much as it is painful. It is so very well written I wouldn't change a thing!

I can't help not to feel so sad. Losing someone is really hard, even after so many years the pain still lingers.
