I thought this story was great. Sure it was predictable at times but still very sweet. Aki is in love with her friend Mase and she doesn't know that the feeling is mutual. She gets a surprise when Mase asks her out on a date. The days leading to her date are made up of events that will forever change the course of Aki's life.... Character development was great in this manga, you get to see firsthand the emotional effect decisions have on you when you are stuck between what you want and what you think is right. I loved Aki's character, she was strong, andI like to believe she did what anyone would do in her situations.
All the characters had a human feel to them, It had a lot to do with the way the coped with things and also their reactions to life's events.

The art was nice and there were no inconsistencies that I noticed. It was clean and flowed well with the story.

Life is painful but I think this manga helps us realize that our decisions, no matter how insignificant we might think they are have a way of altering our lives and the lives of those we love.
