I have to admit, I've only just started reading this manga, and this is my first review. A manga like this, with such a taboo plot, doesn't usually hit this close to home. Not to me, but with my very dear childhood friend. This is captured perfectly, the step-father's attempts, the mother thinking the child is lying, then when the mother was backed into a corner, she had no choice but to kick him out and beg for forgiveness. Some of us have gone through things that happened in this manga, some can relate on another level, (for me it's the fear of men I have becauseI knew a molester like a neighboor, and my friend's brave struggles.) or just you want to see things from a new point of view.

This stories struggles with a strong and brave heroine, who faces her fears every day no matter what, and the people who grow to care about her.
This is a truly amazing manga.
