Natsu Tadano brings a sweet yet clear-eyed and always humane touch to a story of love doomed by illness.
As the Shuji Terayama poem quoted in the text says, If life is nothing but goodbyes, who needs life?.
A gentle love story that grapples with the deepest existential questions we face in life.
But then Yurugi quietly leaves the university, and Ichika is left wondering why, and what could have been...
Everything changes when Ichika meets Professor Yurugi - for the first time she feels she has something to live for.
Now a 2nd year college student, she lives a busy, upbeat life, despite never knowing when the end will come.
Final volume! At the age of 16, Ichika Sendawara learned that she only had two years left to live.
Yurugi (her philosophy teacher) must decide if the pain of losing someone is worth the moments of happiness and comfort they can afford each other.
Ichika and Prof.
His vivid art brings this quiet love story alive, and undergirds the surprisingly deep philosophical themes of the text.
