A melancholic romance that leaves you with a tinge of nostalgia and an undescribable sense of longing. Very mature writings, with complex characters but never overly twisted. Just the usual good stuff from Kawai Yumiko. Her works are always so soothing to read. I'm giving this a 3.5/5 in comparison to her other works. This one is no doubt a very nice read, but Kawai does have quite a number of very amazing and more memorable books.
