Synopsis

The self-conscious Shizuku Hoshikawa is on her way to dispose of her first and last novel. But before she can do so, the charismatic Kaori Asaka bumps into her and ends up taking the novel home. This turn of events greatly distresses Shizuku, as she does not want anyone to read the depressing story she wrote for her own satisfaction.

Initially expecting the worst, Shizuku finds herself in tears of joy when Kaori tells her the novel deeply moved her. Kaori wishes to read more of her stories, but as Shizuku did not plan on writing anything else, she has no idea what to write. As a result, Kaori comes up with a bizarre suggestion—their love.

Shizuku is skeptical of Kaori's intention and somewhat uneasy about what secrets she may be hiding behind her smile. Nevertheless, the two begin their odd summer vacation in pursuit of their own love story.

I honestly didn't expect much coming into this, but after finishing it, my god. It was simply beautiful. I've read only a few other romance manga, but this had such a powerful story that I adored reading, and had great themes of love, how far you're willing to go for it, and how you spend your limited time with your loved ones. Shizuku and Kaori's relationship is perfectly crafted for this story, and the inevitability of it elevates the story and themes even more. Their flaws both being accepted by one another, bringing them closer together is a sight to behold. An incredibly sad, yet ...

As a gentleman who enjoys the classics; Death Note, Black Lagoon (Revy IS best girl, fight me), Monster ect. This type of manga is not my usual jam.

I started reading it by accident thinking that it was something else, and by the time that I realised what it was, too late and I couldn't stop. It has now been over two weeks and this story has stuck with me more than anything else that I have read so far.

Hoshikawa Shizuku, a high school girl just wishing to disappear after finishing her one and only novel, meets and makes a deal with the diminutive Asaka ...

Since I met you all the gloomy days just seem to shine a little more brightly

Reading this minuscule manga only 32 chapters in length resembles the fleeting summer it encompasses; It's over in a blink of an eye and I miss every second of it. Shizuku Hoshikawa a reclusive existence so riddled by excessive regret she questions every breath she takes. Can I forgive myself? Do I deserve to be alive? If I disappeared right now would anyone notice? In a twist of fate she meets Asaka Kaori, and gets her long awaited answers. Slowly but surely Shizuku's bleak life starts to be bathed in ...
