Really inspired by this. I was in a really bummer place for a few months. Feeling really disconnected. I wish there were more tales like this. I don't think it could work on any other format of medium than manga. Being just characters on a page, their most contrived state, they still seem the most real in my head. Gooey hopeful sadness. After reading this I've been tearing up at the most simple things... And it's a great feeling.
