There are so far only three English translations at the moment. I loved the story and wished there were more than 3 English translations :(. The main character's age is not told, but the male lead and the female lead are only two years apart so there really isn't a giant age gap. I have found Japanese versions and a free Vietnamese version of it too. The physical copy of the book does have 3 volumes and currently is being sold through Japanese translated sites like Book Walker. I can only assume that if you did buy the volumes through the Japanese book walker ... they will only give you the Japanese version of it because they didn't give me an option of languages. I hope my review and info helps someone <3

Excellent psychological manga. It blurs the line between love and obsession, toxic and devoted, right and wrong. It made me think a little, which I always appreciate. We got a healthy dose of yandere without being too cliche or overdone. The female lead is a little clueless, but I guess it's necessary to juxtapose the innocence of their childhood with what the male lead has become. The art is pretty good, no complaints there. The female lead looks a little loli, but that's probably because she died young. I guess it's a little creepy how the male lead is grown up now and the female ... lead is still young. This is a manga, so we are going to have to overlook that to enjoy it. I'm not actually too clear on the ages of the characters. I can only find 3 chapters for free online, but they are all very good. If someone can find the rest, please let me know.

I remember stumbling upon this on kissmanga and reading it a long time ago, and happened to stumble upon it again except instead of 3 chapters there were all 25ish.

This series had so much potential and was genuinely a good romance/psychological/horror story. But of course, it's always the hidden gems that get fucking axed.

The ending is rushed quite a lot and the story begins to lose it's charm towards the end as well. The psychological and horror feel slowly fizzles out, while the romance is dialed way up, but that's to be expected when the author is trying to scrape together a coherent ending as ... his work is forcibly put to an end.


Would reccomend giving it a try, but can't give it a rating higher than 6 due to the unfortunate rushed ending.
