Michihiko witnesses an incident in a classroom late at night. Since then, the thug Shinji has been hanging around the school area to investigate the incident.

I love Konohara Narise. She brings something special to the genre, and this novel was the same.... more>>
Spoiler

In the end, Yamada still struggles to reconcile with his identity. But temporarily he concedes to placate Michihiko.

[collapse]
Narise shows to err is human -- we aren't perfect, and we don't always do what's right; we confuse ourselves, hurt others... we change, but ever so slowly. She also portrays the mundanity of life through descriptions of small items, annoyances, and shows the harshness of living day-to-day in doubt, so well. She has a talent and she uses it well. <<less

In the first part, the heartwarming interaction between the two young characters was touching, yet there was an underlying sense of uncertainty about their future. This blend of warmth and anticipation kept me hooked, and I’m eager to see how characters evolve in the coming parts.
