feelings suck. the process of finding love in the modern day sucks. this manga? doesn't suck as much as the latter does. it may give you a (suck)er punch in the heart from the amount of feelings it'll evoke in you, but hey, it's nothing short of a good story. maybe i'm a bit biased when it comes to romance, or stories that deal with the realities of modern society, but this one is worth your time. writing about the plot like how i usually do for my other reviews may kill your enjoyment, but bear with me and this manga—just give it a tryif you want a manga so profound it makes you close your device and reconnect with nature. if you find yourself staring at your screen for a split second after you finish reading it, just know this manga has done its job in leaving an impact.

love feels impossible these days—messy, exhausting, never quite enough. but this manga gets it. it hits you in all the right places, making you feel every bit of that yearning, that loneliness, that hope. it stays with you, like a quiet ache, like a reminder that maybe there is truly something real out there.
