Wow. Underrated. Arguably a rare gem, at least in the sense of it's distinct writing of mysterious psychological characters with each their insecurities and beliefs and how they all correlate with Hibari. 8/10.

First manga I read from this mangaka. Not the most aesthetic art but it's quite beautiful in it's own way, especially from the eyes and lips of Himari. Beautiful girl as intended from her art to look so subtly gorgeous in comparison to all the other characters, male and female. I've become a fan of her work. I hope to find more stories from her to my interest.

... So in the end, her dad sexually harassed or most likely raped her after he learned he was suspected, died, and never telling anyone, she committed suicide. Fuck... No one, including her mother (oblivious) cared to save her, assuming she was fine. Interesting conclusion to show the consequences of an ignored victim being brought to break with suicide.

I don't know how correct the translations are but the mangaka's afterword is interestingly revealing to her emotions from her own experience in life, whatever they were.

Mangaka's afterword:

It's unfortunate, but this manga is a reminder that people oftentimes just sit by as bystanders and never do anything.

Life has no meaning,
but that doesn't mean
we shouldn't live it

It’s time to ditch the text file.
