Losing the light in his eyes but not in his life.

We're finally reached the ending. Wasnt a bad run, and it was quite an enjoyable for a short series. It was quite hard for me to care a lot to the characters as we knew next to nothing about them, their background, their personality, their relationship status., And their age gap. I seriously thought theyre all at the same age untill I see Liese (= . =) All we know is Shuu is a neet waiting for his time up. I also think his confition is not emphasized quite well, we dont really get what and how severe his illness is, so we dont have any refrence in mind, so I find it hard to pity his situation. All those, after the characters struggle and effort, its really hard for me to be exiced at the concert chapter.

But as we see their past I have a much easier time to care for them as we finally see more and more clearer pictures about them and their dream. I really love they use the same game they played back then for Sayane to convey her burried feelings. I think if we were to start the story from their childhood or maybe just more glimpse of their past, we can care about those characters much more and be more excited in the concert chapter.

All and all, I wish we got to see a few pages of the surgery. I think his acceptence to take it even theres a chance to lose his eyesight is going to be very impactful.

All and all, thanks so much CClaw, Circle, Goddess, Mii, The Cookstable, and PLS scanss for the SL! And of course Amasaki Mirito sensei and Hanada Momose sensei for making this enjoyable series!

He should've died.
The only emotions that I got while reading this were the emotions from music.

if this was trying to represent depression or something (and what else could it be?) it failed miserably. And it failed even harder with the resolution. The only good things I have to say is that the art is good and Emi-san is pretty lol.

 

[SicklyToast]

This manga actually pissed me off
NOT ONE TIME did he say anything to his friend or the girl about his illness not once
this had no drama about it. like come on man this manga could of actually been so much better with that drama hell it could of been 3 volumes

[AngelWind]

[ThinhDei]

do y'all "why's he still alive" person have some mental problem toward seeing someone happiness ? is it because you can't have that kind of happiness irl since you don't have the courage like the MC did to overcome being a trash pile?

 

[WiseOldKing]

idk I was waiting for the big reveal of his illness to everyone lol.

 

[MagicHour]

So uhh, did this get axed or was it just a promo for the novel?

This was a pretty heart wrenching read, but it definitely felt slightly rushed and some plot setup was not properly utilized. The illness did not really seem to have much impact on the story other than being what forces him to make the choice to continue living. I was kind of expecting some kind of dramatic reveal, but we don't even see any of the characters other than the mom ever acknowledge it. The resolution between Sayane and Shuu also seemed kind of sudden in that it seemed that she was resolved to completely cut him out, then kind of 180's that position pretty quickly. Of course this could be interpreted as her just putting up a flimsy facade that was barely holding out and would crumble with the slightest push from Shuu.

As for what I enjoyed, considering how short of a story it was, I liked the characters and their relationships. The best was of course the portrayal of the lifelong relationship between Sayane and Shuu. I think it did a pretty good job of evoking a deep sense of melancholy and regret. Seeing such a strong and intimate lifelong relationship get torn apart like that made this a pretty difficult read. I definitely liked it overall, but I do think there were a lot of missed opportunities with how the plot developed and how the story ended.
