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
...
Kaori to write another based on the summer they will spend together. From there Kaori gets into Shizuku's life gently peeling away her armour to reveal the real person behind it. Standard yuri trope; that's what I thought. However, I will give no spoilers but to say READ. IT.
A beautiful story of love, loss and second chance, it even had a bitter, twisted old cynic like me weeping into my pillow at 5am (yeah, chapter 28. That broke me). Wishing all the best to the writer/artist, Yuama, on the nominations for 2022/23 Next Manga Award and placing 8th on the AnimeJapan "Most Wanted Anime Adaptation 2024" congratulations and well deserved.
