Let me be the first comment. The series actually already complete, and here is the review. Don't click if you don't want to get spoiled.

Not sure where this is going to go... I hope it doesn't end in a lover's suicide, but it's certainly getting all introspective about things.

Idk how many ppl read the story it's based on but the manga doesn't seem to have a tragedy tag so i imagine it'll be fine for now esp since the mc said 'pride' kept her alive so she might be too proud to kill herself even if she falls in love and the actor girl ends up passing bc of illness or chooses to die
Akiba scans picked it back up! (well it was commissioned apparently?)

I think you'd have to ask a mod, idk if the tls/group actually reads comments since the ones doing the latest chapters usually have their own site or dynasty reader (personally i feel like it needs a psych tag too, b/c of the suicide note/eulogy thing but i guess the main part it's based on doesn't have it /shrug)

What a wonderful and overwhelming tale of reality and whether to bear it or escape it. It is a fun tale with a darkness looming in the background at every turn, never to be escaped.
Yunimaru and Konno are excellent characters, especially when placed beside one another. Yunimaru is very direct and open with how she feels, but Konno is a mystery-bound woman. They envy one another, to put it simply. The moments of joy they experience only underlines the reality they live; one will always struggle to survive, and the other has no desire to do so.
The story is simple and direct, which is what gives it power. A woman plans to kill herself at the end of summer, so she and a stranger might as well hang out and have fun while planning things out. Each smile, laugh, blush, and scream have a shadow in the distance covering everything. The ending is wonderful, as it is an open ending. While I struggled to discern my conclusion as I read the last two chapters a handful of times, I believe in the more positive conclusion for myself. Honestly, it's the written chapter that made me come to that conclusion.
9/10 I highly recommend this series! It is a fun and heavy series that really makes one think about the life they live and how they should move forward. I find the open ending to be a double-edged sword, since the two final chapters can change the perspective a bit too much. Just make sure to not think the written chapter, Sunshower, is a repeat or should be skipped.
