Suka banget dengan ini.
Sangat realistis dan dewasa.
Masing-masing ceritanya memberikan solusi akhir yang mendewasakan sehingga para tokohnya juga terasa berkembang seiring jalannya cerita.
Suka sekali.
Dan bikin saya kepengen baca karya-karya lain komikus ini.

These stories were cute, but I didn't love this nearly as much as I loved Sunadokei.
The title story is the best. It has a similar feel to Sunadokei. There's a group of four, two boys and two girls, whose feelings are all entangled, and various ones of them do things they regret because of it. Also one of the girls comes to a small town after having been raised in the city, and her mom was from the small town and ran away with a guy from the big city and is now divorced. Same setup as Sunadokei. It also moves from childhood to adulthood just as Sunadokei does. But even with those similar elements, it really doesn't feel like the same story. The actual details of it are different enough, and of course it's only a oneshot rather than ten volumes. If you liked Sunadokei, I'd definitely recommend this one, though.
The other three stories were linked by the theme of junior high, one for each year. They were cute, but ultimately forgettable, and I really disliked that the middle one had this girl who had been sexually harrassed for years, both by strangers on the train, etc. and by boys in her class, and yet it seemed to be saying because one time this one guy caught someone in the act of feeling her up, her life was totally going to change now.

A story about friendship and love. I hated the ending because the girl didn't end up with the guy she likes. Nevertheless, it was beautiful and angsty.
