Binged this in a day and man what a good read.
Last one on "Mom loves you" and now this, it's so powerful.

I would totally read that book. Seems like a good one.
Guess after 25 chapters it has finally hit her that her parents are gone. Oh child...It's strange how grief works.

OMG I've been going chapter after chapter claiming to love Touno and now, as a tetris nutjob muself, I feel like my heart might implode.

This translation is phenomenal oh my god. I can't stop thinking about "my heart shudders like a boat, tempest-tossed in high seas." it takes serious talent to deliver a line as beautiful as that. this series wouldnt hit as hard without this great team!

ahh i love that makio doesn't even have herself figured out. that's what's beautiful about this. she says she didn't care about her father, or no one important to her died, but is that really true? there was an earlier chapter when they're clearing out stuff at asa's parents' house and it's the only time she admits that she might be sad about her sister in some way.

side note, touno is really cute. when authors add beauty marks to characters, i just know they're trouble. and he has 3 lol

The lead up to Asa acknowledging her parents' death, with Makio's writing... beautifully gut-wrenching. This chapter hit me like a truck
