Meanwhile, Itaru struggles to forge his own life in a completely new world.
"Hico Yamanaka delves into heavier, more socially conscious subjects than most shojo does. Recommend."--OTAKU USA
"What makes it such a wonderful read is the sincerity that comes across. The story also touched on the characters' sexualities in an honest, yet respectful way. Other manga should take note regarding how to handle this topic."--The Fandom Post
