Gahhh, I just love this manhua so much!! So much love, learning, and hope. I'm sad it's ending, but I'm excited for the side stories too. Yuan Yang and Li Huan forever!!! <3<3
I'll always love the first version, but this is gorgeous.
Aww that was a super cute resolution to that relationship hurdle. <3
Such a beautiful story that examines the power of an enduring love, especially in the face of stigma and duty. I love that at its core, this story is about two friends who have been in love with each other nearly their whole lives. The painful moments made me cry again and again, but the ending brought many happy tears. I know I will be re-reading this one. <3
P.S. Learned so many interesting tidbits about literature in Japan. Will definitely be researching them later!
Also, love how the meaning of "tamayura" shows up in this story. Such a perfect title. <3
Still one of my favorites that I return to all the time. Love the attention paid to building Chika and Natsuki's relationship, and love that they choose each other across each hurdle. <3
Awwww, such a heartwarming story. I'm sad it's over, but I'm sure I'll be rereading this one. :')
Aww, this was soooo cute! I love that it feels a bit vague and ephemeral, like you have to fill in a few things with the plot but when you do it makes for a very sweet and full story. I can see that some readers might want more structure, but I really enjoyed that part of this manga. I also loved the little details, like how you're not sure what Yuu is doing with those extra fake hands earlier on, but then they serve as a plot device for Ken confessing to Yuu by putting the ring on his finger.
I see some aren't sure whether they were already dating or not. This is just my reading, but I don't think they began to date until Ken gave Yuu the ring, illustrated when Ken asked Yuu earlier if he had something to tell him (asking if Yuu is going to confess his feelings). Basically, I understood their relationship as two best friends who have probably always been in love with each other in some way (even if they were unable to articulate it), and that it is finally forced to the surface when Yuu learns that Ken has to leave. I enjoyed the progression of their relationship! <3
Awww, this was so sweet and understated in the best ways. Legit made me tear up with joy, and I appreciated how they handled the homophobia and resolution. I love that Endou falls for Yamai's good nature, and that Yamai defends Endou without issue and judgement. Will definitely be re-reading. <3
Also, Endou sticking his tongue out at the end was the best thing, heheh. >_<
Such a perfect way to close this beautiful, unforgettable series. Yuan Yang and Li Huan will stay with me for a long time. So happy that there will still be some side stories too.
