One of the most beautifully written tragedies. Don't read it expecting romance. There is no romance in it. A guy who is beyond broken or fixed level and a naive girl that falls in love for the first time. Example of unconditional love. Rare story.
The best part of the entire story is the first couple of panels in chapter 1. A women in a one sided love is bidding him farewell to move on with her life. The story summery says: "I, who couldn’t bring myself to kill you, decided to leave forever," so you would think the story is going to start there right?
Sadly the story starts way back to the time of her youth, when she was naive and desperate for love. She doesn't really have anything else attached to her personality besides that and maybe her one track mind of everything she does being done for the guy she likes.
If the author would have written this like a psychological manhwa I feel this would have been a really good read, or even if the author would have started at the more interesting part of the story, when she abandons him, then this would have been really interesting to read.
Instead you get a flat annoying FL, her flat love interest and 3 flat traveling companies whom I can't for the life of me understand why the author had to have 3 instead of 1 or 2. They could have very easily merged the 3 traveling companies into 1 person to make one well rounded character with a range of emotions and personal conflicts, having 3 other flat characters traveling with the FL is pointless as it doesn't really add anything of real value to the story.
The direction is great, characters are entertaining and you will grow (Or hate them) the more you learn about them, the character art is superb. This one is a vastly underrated manga.
