Well.. they still didn't explain about whether something bad would happen if you looked under the girl's mask.

lol Hey! That's not important! I am glad Shiho came back. Anyway, this was a really enjoyable manga. Unfortunately, there is no one in real life who is not selfish like Asato. Everyone is selfish in some ways~
Surprisingly good for such a short manga. I'm also glad that Asato decided to share his pain in the end - a happy ending is exactly what was needed here.
Found it on mangaupdates.com with the tag of bullying.
Keigo, a kid who was abused by his father with his mother also getting beat by his drunk violent father. A kind heart though, one day he gets put into the 'special' class with handicap kids or anything 'bad'. And then there's a transfer student similar to him who doesn't speak called Asato. Just like Keigo he has no mother nor father anymore.
Keigo's father is hospitalized, and his mother just vanished. While now he has foster parents that just want his house.
... But after injuring his arm after cutting wood, Asato finally talks worried about Keigo's well-being. But then suddenly... he absorbs the injury on himself.. And then they became friends.
Asato then asks about how they first met when Keigo was beating up a kid after he asked if it was true that his father caused those burns on his back. And then he chose to absorb those old scars.
After buying ice cream from the employee called Shiho, they... kinda befriend her. She has a mask covering her face, which the kids talked about in school. Working for her she gave them ice cream in exchange. She's a very kind women.
And then Keigo comes across an old bully. The bully insults him, beats him up... and then dislocates his arm... But then Asato transfers the pain onto the Bully. Damn!
Keigo then wants Asato to transfer all the injuries he's absorbed onto his father for revenge. While he fears going inside. So then they heal everyone and transfer the pain to Keigo's father.
Shiho then tells her story, Asato resembling her little brother, the reason why she hugs him so much. And that he died in a fire, which is how she got her injury, a burn on the mouth region. They want to heal Shiho's wound without her noticing.
...Keigo visits Asato's home, a foster house with lots of other children. And... the foster women tells Keigo, Asato's past. About almost dying by getting stabbed by his mother... she even killed her husband.
After encountering Shiho crying somewhere, Asato heals her. And after 3 days she leaves town, with Asato keeping her burn on his face. Wanting to get rid of the burn and transfer it to his dad ...he witnesses him die in bed... But... Keigo than learns that Asato was pretending all this time and actually keeping all the wounds.
Asato wants to die healing everyone he can as much as possible.
But ...they both live, slowly healing as normal people. And continue their lives with Shiho coming back. I honestly don't know what to think, it wasn't strong, the plots weren't deep, I don't know.
A weird fair score of 6/10.
