Funny how my friend recommended this to me awhile back. I'm really interested in anime, but not so much on manga. He told me to read this and I was under the assumption of this being just a doujinshi with no real story. Turns out I was really wrong, I even felt really sad near the ending. I actually learned a lot from this, and I'd recommend it to anyone. I've been reading a lot more manga recently after reading this.
