So the next time they meet they say to meet at the place, she worries because he is late but he comes back to tell her that he can't go without her. So in the end they run away to chase their dreams.
So here is my final view! I can't express how much I love this manga! Why? It's because It may be all shoujo cliché, but it has realism to it! And I love that. Sakisaka Io has a way of making her characters endure so much pain in such little time and yet make them realise either mistakes, love or even heartbreak without making it seem a bit over the top like most manga's do. She has a subtle way of showing it off and I really can't express how much I enjoyed chapter 1 and chapter 4 of the Manga because to me those two were the most realistic of them all. Cause we have the first part where I cried buckets loads of such a simple story I didn't realise I started to cry reading it, it just happened it was sad and so beautiful it hurt. I could relate to the story because of my own father but in a way before even what happened to my dad I read this story a long time ago. I felt the need to cry because it felt so soft and sweet I was just feeling more emotions out of it. The last story just kind of relates in some ways to what I go through sometimes, except there is no boys. You have expectations you want to follow dreams but when there shut down it's hard to get back up with no help. I loved how the boy got hold of his dreams and was willing to fight for it and same with the girl. Although a bit weird and sad to see them run away I mean there are other ways, its an open ending.
I hope you guys give it a try its a sweet Manga! Honestly it's a very light hearted one I literally loved it. I hope you do too and tell me how it was :)
Dopey ~
