In general the story has a very warm feeling in it, how the feelings of the characters are trasmitted to the reader. Very romantic and cute. it make it feel so real and pure. A really enjoyable manga, is refreshing, for a change in shonen ai and yaoi thematics. for a long time I had not found a lot of this kind of stories, to be a 8 chapter manga I think is very complete, even though I would like to be a little longer because the cuteness of the work is not enough, but there are no holes in the story and thepace is aceptable of a real relationship. I also like how the environment is a fundamental piece in the story, and thanks to that the piece is complete, as in a paint; without background is no ambiance and the art can lose its meaning.

Synopsis

It's been a year since Misumi-senpai died. Fujinami Kou is still mourning in his heart for him when he accidentally meets Kakitsubata Saki who is a year younger student in his school and looks just like Misumi. The quiet Kou and the straightforward Saki become friends and with time they learn more about each other leaving Saki torn when he happens to get in his hands Misumi's diary. What is the right choice?

This story was very cute and quite concise, in a good way, at 8 chapters. One thing that really stuck out to me was the background art--normally it's quite generic in these sorts of short manga, but it was very detailed. Detailed enough that as someone who lives in Kanagawa Prefecture, I was immediately able to place 9 out of 10 backgrounds to a specific location! Most of this manga takes place in Kamakura, though the Enoshima Aquarium makes a cameo as well. Overall, it's a sweet, short story that did quite well for its premise of a character looking like the other's dead lover.It even managed to address the feelings of all involved in that incident, which is a feat for only having 8 chapters to narrate a romance. As an LGBT+ reader, it's certainly an idealized situation, but it held to be mostly realistic otherwise. Definitely recommend!
