It is hard to write a review of Piece without any spoilers, because the plot is really outstanding (completely surpass the level of any shoujo comics that I've read) and the story is full of with twists and turns. The main character, Suga Mizuho received the news that her former classmate, Origuchi Haruka passed away. Upon the request of Origuchi's mother, Mizuho starts an investigation to follow-up the life of Origuchi and to clarify the missing parts of her highschool years. This investigation slowly turns into a journey. A journey where Mizuho has the chance to learn the real Origuchi, a shiny, kind hearted girl. Butit is also a chance for Mizuho to read and reconsider her own feelings and to clarify the unclosed relations with her former classmates, friends and one special person, who always confused her.
The story has a bittersweet feeling; it is full of with emotions and at the same time, it continuously surpriesed me. All characters have their personal injury that was hidden during the whole time and at the and all of these pieces, personal tragedies are connected. Nearly all of these scars are from adults that is the main message of Piece: highschoolers are still kids and are fragile. Injuries caused by their parents and their classmates can have an effect during their whole life.
The characters are just great: realistic with all the human doubts and failures. With the progress of the story the characters are continuously developing but still remain fallible.

If someone is intersted in real drama, a really intersting story with an unexpected end (don't think about ANY of the usual shoujo cliches) and likes the beautiful artwork, Piece can be the perfect choice.
