Daily Manga

A very good & well known novel (made anime & now manga). Written by the same man that created Hoshi no Koe. Great art by the mangaka who adapted it. A very good, bitter-sweet, realistic story about first love, separation, losing one's self and dreams, & starting again. Most definitely worth a read (& watch. Hell. Buy the novel.)
