this is the first manga that i've read that has prompted me to leave a comment/review despite being almost 400(that i've actually clicked reading on mdx). despite being almost 10 years since its publication the art holds up better than most manga's of any nationality you would be reading today. the story isn't grand and there aren't any big fight parts or we romance etc, but after reading this it just hits different, it invoked in me something deep idk what, but it felt that way. its simple and at the same time its not. for whoever finds this and actually clicks on the comments, i say to you its worth the read it won't take much of your time and you might experience something different compared to your usual reads. best part it won't take much of your time. (underrated all the 7's are dragging it's rating way down XC)
