oh no, I keep a box of tissues handy when I read this one. I always cry when Kento talks about his parents, or when reading about Akira's school days when he was washing his shirt all alone, or near the end when Grandpa bumped his head and thought he was dying and Kento had to handle everything all by himself and collapsed in the alley behind the house because he was afraid everyone was going to leave him. And the very first chapter when Kento ran into the street, we see the truck, and the next scene is Akira, dressed up nicely and carrying the materials to pray at the grave. I always cry there, haha. But this is what makes this mangaka so good - she is able to draw these emotions out of us.
