[DeepL Translation - needs review] Volume 1 Introduction: In the spring of her sophomore year of high school, Chidahara Ichika was told by her doctor that she had two years to live.
Three years later, in her second year of college, Ichika spends her days not knowing when the end will come.
Then one day, she happens to run into Shoji Mangi, a former philosophy instructor who quit his job at the university.
Ichika's feelings are rekindled when she meets Mr. Mangi, whom she has been in love wit...
It took so long to get hooked on the story, but when I did I enjoyed it quite a bit. I am sure it follows rather standard tropes, but I would not call it entirely average.
Art-style might have been crude in the first volume but has gotten so much better towards the end. I am looking forward to any new publications from the little known and new author タダノ なつ.
Manga likes to jump quite a bit, so it is important to spot which parts are from the past and which are present. There are also some deep thoughts which might spike the difficulty curve at times. Other than that the plot is rather straightforward in terms of ease of comprehension.
The beginning is especially sliced up, and it takes a significant part of the whole (finished) piece to get to know the very few characters presented. But when one does, it all falls into place. So much so, that afterwards it leaves an emptiness wanting to be filled — and that's quite on point, if not a little uncomfortable.
I am convinced the author has potential to make 4 and 5 start exceptional manga/illustrations. And I am looking forwards trying them out, hopefully in a not so distant future.
