I am conflicted. She was ready to kill her but then moment she realised she was the reason for his death... It was I need to live for this person's sake... As if she's making a great sacrifice when it's just betrayal. Also I feel like lily knows

This already is SAD AS HELL. I think another extremely sad component is that Lily most likely already realizes that it's not Kaoru, or knows that he died, but is compartmentalizing or at least rationalizing why someone who smells exactly like him appeared. It kind of reminds me of Beauty and the Beast Girl by Neji.

Yeah I'ma continue to hate Lily's sister.

She may have suffered, but acting like your blind sister about to be pushed into a loveless marriage has shit easier than you, then assaulting her partner immediately after your sibling's failed suicide? fuck off.

Cute detail that Lily was always a tomboy at heart though, puts a nice little final touch on the story.

The GL aspect kinda got lost in this one. At the end, the couple's reasons and motivations don't really have anything to do with romantic love at all.
While it's possible to think otherwise, it'd still be way too subtle and more like subtext at best.
It was good story. While the ending isn't exactly new to the genre, the main problem is the bad execution with the mentioned lack of love.

Spoiler: Will they end together ?

For people who want to see the two of them in a romantic relationship, the ending is frustrating at most. The holding hands, they smiled at each other, they blushed and that's it...Yeah...

 

[leviadragon]

I will say, the ending where they effectively flip femme/tomboy roles is pretty peak, both of them living not as the roles they assumed to try and fit what was demanded of them, but what they're most comfortable as.

The story and plot was an interesting one; one that I’ve never read before. The regret, guilt, suicidal thoughts and therefore the mental breakdowns from Hana, consuming her as a whole made it extremely saddening but somewhat realistic. It’s completely understandable as to why she feels that way. This is why I liked the story progression; the author keeps these themes right until the climax.

However, I must say, as much as I liked the manga and plot, I can’t help but feel mild disappointment in the ending. It felt cliche and extremely shallow compared to the main plot; extremely out of place. The whole story throughout had an emotional impact on the readers because of the intensity, but at the end, I didn’t feel the same emotional impact as I felt throughout.

I am satisfied with the ending for a short manga and just expressing my thoughts. I mean no hate; it’s just some criticism.

A short story about lies and love, made me cry 10/10
