Okay but I seriously don't get why I like this story so much, i usually read this cliche romances and immediately forget about them ,but my God, this is so good and such a page turner! The only slightly ‘off’ note is the Extra Story: The Boy from that Day which I feel stretches coincidence just a little bit too far – but others may well disagree. Meanwhile, Christmas is fast approaching and Yamato and Kakeru’s class is planning a Christmas party. The poor kid is self-conscious about his height (or lack of it) and how ordinary he looks when they’re out together and Yamato draws all the admiring gazes, because he’s tall, looks like an idol etc. But even though that misunderstanding is cleared up and they agree to go out together to the cinema on The Day, Kakeru is so agitated at the prospect of going on ‘a date’ with Yamato that he spends a sleepless night with the inevitable consequences.Their mothers are friends and so the children spend their daily lives in and out of each other’s houses. So it’s not unreasonable for readers to expect the next chapter to follow through… but instead, the spotlight falls on Mikoto, Yamato’s younger sister. And he goes on to talk about a memory that gives Yamato much to think about – in a good and positive way.

The good thing about this is that we really get to know the characters outside the context of a relationship. Really great seller with a very good communication *(There’s a very real possibility that this friendship won’t survive, let alone transform into the deeper relationship that Yamato so fervently hopes for.

Amamiya and Fujino, their school friends have huge personalities that fill up a page and Yui is a perfect troll that’s always good for a laugh or to stir things up. Can the two find a way to fix their friendship, or will their feelings of jealousy and inferiority ruin everything…?

The very readable translation is again by Jan Mitsuko Cash and the lettering by Alexis Eckerman, which communicates Kakeru’s confused inner thoughts and feelings really well. Yet Yamato's feelings are made quite apparent through his perspective, and he's just filled with such longing, hesitancy, and pining on his part.
