[2010-06-02] AstrosNaught wrote...: Goes beyond meloncholy.
Something has to be said for a story that doesn't shirk plot for a smaltsy ending.
[2010-05-13] bamboosalade wrote...: This has got to be one of the most touching, soulful stories ever depicted in a manga. My paradigms and moods were shifted all over the place as the story progressed, and I found myself helplessly absorbed by the characters' plights. Beautiful, beautiful artwork; I'm bawling like a baby.
[2010-04-09] peachy wrote...: I wasn't expecting to become so attached to this manga. Once I started, I couldn't stop until the end. And even though I was cautioned of how it would end, I kept wishing it would not happen.. It's a very moving story. (I cried so much at the end..)
Thank you so much for making this available to us. :)
[2010-03-13] Annalyn wrote...: This was so amazing and heartbreaking. I read it at one in the morning and just...wow. For some reason I kept expecting a happy ending, even right up to the end. I ended up crying. Even now, thinking back to it, just...;-; I really felt for the characters, and it was so easy to empathize with them that it made the end just all the more heart wrenching.
Thanks for this SiH, you guys always choose the best works! <3

[2009-11-23] Asrodeia wrote...: ahh..... this was so sad... it was so good, but I almost wish I hadn't read it. Thanks for scanlating it, as the author's note on the back did say a goal was to get this kind of thing out in the open.

[2009-08-22] a grateful reader wrote...: I read this all in one sitting and, my God, thank you so much, SIH staff. I've always loved Sahara Mizu/Yumeka Sumomo's work, but this. This is almost intolerably poignant. Yes, I cried. But more importantly, I fell in love with the characters, with the story, and with the moral. Again, thank you. And I hope I can someday read another manga like this again.
[2009-08-22] maimo wrote...: thank you for this it was really good, a real competition for the movie... although Kang Dong-Wonis just perfect to express such intrincated feelings...
[2009-08-21] Fiona wrote...: Thank you so much
[2009-08-21] spinel wrote...: Thanks for the wonderful project.

Tell me, am I the only one crying (like, really cry) reading the last chapter? I didn't think I'd be raining tears when I was expecting the ending.
[2009-08-21] enatsuyouko wrote...: thank you so much! i love this mangaka, she really knows how to convey such feelings across through such simplistic yet complicated ways, it's beautifooooooollll!!!
[2009-08-21] kuroneko wrote...: Thank you, SiH, for bringing such a beautiful series to a leecher like me. I must confess that I did not shed tears, but felt hope instead.
[2009-08-20] Misa wrote...: I don't normally cry when I expect it but it was too sad not to. It's so sad... and yet so unrealistic if it's didn't.... Only in a good manga can you still cry over it while knowing it'd happen.
[2009-08-20] Wolfie wrote...: Even though I knew what was coming, the last chapter still made me cry! And I hardly ever cry while reading mangas. Thanks for this beautiful and touching manga. *sniffle*
[2009-08-20] Rya wrote...: I seriously cried for this ending....I haven't cried for any manga b4 (not that I remember recently nways lol). It was so touching, and the story was just right, I definitely gave it a 10/10 rating.
Thank you for this wonderful release!
[2009-08-20] dust wrote...: Thanks so much for this project! I'm looking forward to seeing how it wraps up.
[2009-08-20] AethelwynePixie wrote...: Nooooo!!! This is why I hate sad ending stories... T_T I don't like having to cry... ;_; Thanks for all your hard work in scanlating the series! *heart*
[2009-08-20] Tazz wrote...: Really sad.
The last chapter made me cry, but this manga holds a great lesson too.
[2009-08-20] ViVita wrote...: Thank you very much.
I was waiting for the final chapter but I was also afraid of it since I knew what would happen.

I'm not depressed - just a little sad while smiling with tears in my eyes~ ;)
[2009-08-20] Ani_ wrote...: Thanks for translating this manga... the last chapter was so touching I cried the whole time while I was reading it

[2009-07-02] Mibicci wrote...: I LOVE you guys for translating that manga! Thanks so much!
[2009-07-01] beyekind wrote...: I really waited for this manga and for that, I'm really grateful to have an opportunity to read this fascinating story. It's really amazing that it could make me cry a lot.

I tried to ask myself on how should I live my life for I have only do things I know, not even crossing the line. But now, there's so much to learn, many people to meet with differences and every second counts. I can feel that I'm the one chasing time. So, live. To live is not only to exist. NOW is the time. Your reason to live is your hope, your aspiration for tomorrow.

Hehe... so many realization.

I'm really looking forward for the last chapter. Great job, guys!!! You always serve the best. Ganbatte!!!
