Volume 1 Review

Whether you are the subject of unwanted love confessions or are impatiently yearning for your first, this story will (hopefully) make you feel seen. There are few subjects as violently rupturing as unrequited love. However, the story of Yuu and Nanami plays with this theme by asking, “Will you just let me love you? Even if you don’t feel the same for me?” Yuu’s struggle to find her first love is matched by Nanami’s struggle to manage the love well within her reach. You will find yourself rooting for what always feels like a long shot.
