tl;dr: must read IF you like slice of life, character studies, and the theme of grief.

A couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon this while looking for some standard slice of life junkfood. I expected the usual for this genre:
1) wholesome home life of the 2 protags for the first five chapters
2) new characters introduced after that point
3) my interest being lost by chapter 10 as it's stretched too thin
The beginning of the story went exactly how I expected- stereotypical sickeningly sweet and wholesome homelife (not an issue- that's what I came for). But, as I expected my interest to wane, it just grew more ... and more with each chapter. Instead of a story stretched too thin, it dug deeper and deeper into an amazing, introspective work revolving around its central ideas. It grabbed my emotions and took me through the peace, desolation, yearnings, and tenseness of its characters for a whopping 142 chapters.

I'm going to be straightforward- this story does a fantastic job at slowly but consistently building its characters, their growth, and their relationships in a genuine, lovely way. No side characters or their stories ever felt like they took away my experience- they all felt like a necessary addition to further reflect the greater ideas and growth of our dual protagonists.

The artwork in the first chapter is honestly kind of shoddy in an Attack-on-Titan-chapter-1 way, so that wasn't great. But then it quickly improved and stayed good, so it kind of became a plus to watch that unfold.
There's also yuribait... which is cool I guess.

It took me three different sites to read all the chapters, but it was 100% worth it. It's clear we're reaching the conclusion, and I am definitely going to enjoy it as it releases. This story is an extremely rich and poignant display of grief from two interwoven perspectives; moreso, this builds into a greater narrative regarding relationships built on exterior forces like grief. It's not for everyone, but it's amazing if you like what you've heard from me.
