Synopsis

Still recovering from her beloved younger sister Haru's death, Natsumi harbors a terrible secret. She is currently dating her dead sister's fiancé, Tougo. Although Haru and Tougo were only to have an arranged marriage of convenience, Natsumi knew that her sister's feelings toward him were utterly genuine. Despite this, when Tougo asked Natsumi if she wanted to become his new girlfriend, she agreed, but on one condition: he must take her to all the places he went with Haru.

Torn with shame, Natsumi meets him every week, seeing the places he visited with Haru and hearing about their experiences. Parting ways after a notably painful encounter overcome with guilt, she is ready to join her sister and begins to move in front of an oncoming train—until Tougo stops her and announces that if she dies, he will too.

As the curse of spring leads to a fleeting summer, two people connected by death find solace in each other, grappling both with their own feelings and the ever-present memory of one long gone.

So I have read other works by this author (well, I suppose only one other manga); so I expected a specific style. They most certainly have a darker style of writing so you should expect that with this manga.
That said, this is absolutely great. Though I suppose be warned, it is highly depressing. If you want something wholesome, or just don't like reading sad things, I suggest maybe not reading it (though I really think you should). I enjoyed the entire manga thoroughly. I think it is very well-written, despite it's somewhat devious premise. The characters are developed and entertaining, and the story as a ...

Haru no Noroi has been a unique read for me. Picking up this manga at first will make the reader question if it's worth their time and attention. Rest assured, it will be worth reading Konishi's works. There is something for everyone when reading the story about Natsumi, Tougo, and their journey together.

Pros:
First off, the story. The sypnosis will most likely turn off some readers, especially those coming from romcom stories. The flow of the story doesn't rush too fast nor does it pace back. Every chapter and every page contributes to the main story between how Natsumi is able to cope with getting together ...

I finally got around reading Haru no noroi and girl it touched me. It only has 8 chapters but they feel like eternity because of the heavy content in there (and it has absolutely no drama). After I was done I was shaken to the core because of the twists, the storytelling the art and everything. It’s a story about three people, 2 sisters haru and natsumi and the male lead tougo. Haru dies due to some illness and her sister dates her boyfriend for a period of time because of apparent reasons….saying anymore would be spoiling it so I won’t tell more. But wow ...
