After the funeral, Natsumi reluctantly agrees to date her sister’s fiancé Togo. But as their relationship develops with the passing seasons, Haru’s memory lingers over them like a curse. Asuka Konishi’s English-language debut is a nuanced and affecting portrait of the conflict between romantic and familial love, and of the hard choices that face us all in making our lives our own.

A story about death, grief, and guilt. It's both sad yet uplifting where Natsumi and Togo are trying to live their lives on their terms while fighting the inner turmoil of right and wrong.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This book combines volumes 1 and 2 and is completed, I think. It deals with grief and guilt, so is a bit sadder than most manga I read. I wasn't sure how I felt about the book at first, but once we see the past from their different views and their thoughts on situations, I got into it. It pulled on my heartstrings and made me feel for the couple. Truly liked the couple and how the story progressed.
I won't be buying it for my teen collection, but do think this would do well in an adult one.
