This review may discuss plot details.
If I should have to be honest, this manga is beautiful, heartwarming and yeah, it wants to make you cry in the end. Maybe the biggest fail is it isn't 100% realistic, so, if you are looking for something closer to reality, trauma and pain in every page, continue your way. But, if you want to feel a hug meanwhile you are reading, or feel like the world isn't as bad as it looks like, please read this manga, definitely is a piece that worth the time it takes to read it. It is a short story with a beautiful art, even with a bit lookinto the ways some people become when they are cornered between loneliness and pressure. Obviously, we can't expect a masterpiece from the first work of this mangaka, but it is a very well done piece without a doubt.
As I mentioned before, it is heartwarming, so yes, it has a happy ending but, I'm sure there should be somebody who can't say, "hey that's my story" or "I actually know somebody". After all, reality always, always overcome the fiction, and let's be honest, most of us read manga for the fantasy and all fiction behind every panel.
