Truthfully, I wasn't going to read this one. It seems 'heavy'... and not my taste.
But now, I'm glad to read this. I'm glad to see how it all ends, though I'm definitely won't pick this up again for a long time.
Thank you for the translation, and letting me reading this hidden gem.

this was fucking raw. most times when i see endings like this, where a loved one leaves a letter for someone and the reader doesn't see any of it, it's supposed to be only for the character's eyes. a moment where we're separated from the protagonist's shoulders so the two characters can feel like the only people in the world. thanks so much for bringing us this.

That's what I initially figured. It's just that (at least in Legacy Reader mode) the only clickable part is that thin white vertical line, so I was just wondering. Anyway, much thanks for scanlating this. Was a good read.

You're giving the author too much credit. You could argue by the same logic that this story is "only for the character's" eyes. It just feels like a cheap way to get out of writing out the letter - it may be intended - still doesn't change the end result.

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. I love it. What a heartbreaking story. I don't know if I've ever read anything that moved me so strongly so quickly. Thank you so much for translating this.

Damn, so Mariko got herself in an abusive relationship? Poor girl never got a break.

Kinda short manga, but maybe that's for the best. Beautiful art, heartbreaking story, nameless dude is best boy, i loved it.

Shii-chan getting to bash that guy, I'm surprised that she didn't kill him when she saw the girl running as Mariko. In some small way, she got to save her.

Thanks for translating. I love how it ends up with her using her friends ashes to beat up the purse snatcher

wow talk about hitting the landing. i was so worried over how this could end, a lot of ways it could've gone badly... but the writing here was stellar. got chills in that restaurant flashback

Thank you from the bottom of my hearth for letting me be able to read this book. I cried like a little bitch. Multiple times.
