Reviews

This manga perfectly portrays and evokes a sense of loneliness. Both through its inclusion of insecure and melancholic characters and through its usage of talking and illusory animals. Unfortunately, it may evoke loneliness a bit too well, since it's overflowing with feel-bad moments and I get a bit lonely and depressed myself just reading it.

And Kaede develops a thing with Koyuki's younger brother, because she's fun. Konatsu spends a lot of her time getting darkly depressed in a black, bleak world of tears and loneliness while gnomish Koyuki embraces the popular crowd. Konatsu is left holding open the bag in metaphorical life terms.
