I don't usually write reviews but I couldn't help but do it after seeing this manga doesn't seem to be as recognised as it should.

I started reading this whith very low expectations, I don't know if it's because of al the bullshit I've been reading recently or just because the score in MAL was "low" (a seven and a half is not that bad but, you know, it ain't high either), but I ended up really liking it. The characters are really well-written and the story is really enjoyable or, at least, it has been from what I've read.

The story takes the point of ... view of a few characters and it does so marvelously, you don't feel like everything is going slowly or that one character is less interesting than the other. Really good manga yeah really good. Yeah. i would say that it's really good you know like, good good. And it's fresh as well, I really like it. You should give it a try

I'm writing a review because I don't plan on reading any more. I've only read up to chapter 18, so this is my opinion on them.

It wasn't what I expected. What I thought it would be was Hikari developing her story. It starts like that and I identified with it right away. The thing is: she has a secondary character complex and feels bad about it. So, in her own manga, she becomes a secondary character. I don't mind developing other characters besides the main one, but the impression it gives is that she's not the main character. Maybe that's exactly what it is and ... I misunderstood.
If that's the case, I still didn't like it because this alternation from one character to another doesn't work very well. They're sad and dramatic stories, but they only have 2 chapters to develop them, so you don't get too attached. Something that also irritates me is wanting to know more about a story, but I have to wait 10 chapters because the author decided to show the POV of other characters. There's no focus and I don't like that.

They're all tragic love stories, but I can't sympathize with all of them, not only because they don't have focus, but because I didn't like all of the characters. So it's hard to root for them. I don't understand this, if the story was about Hikari, I would have liked it more. I have mixed feelings about this manga because I saw potential, I started liking it and I like some of the stories, I just couldn't like how they're told.
