After reading A Space Voyage with Suwako-san & now this one shot, I must say Sakamoto, Mano is my second favorite yuri manga artist. My first will always and forever be Morinaga, Milk ^.^ Anyways looking forward to upcoming mangas from Sakamoto, Mano. I enjoy this one-shot (:

Awe that was bitter sweet!

Interesting to see Sakamoto Mano's stuff being bumped today...her stuff is definitely amazing in both story and art. I think this particular story is the one that hits me the most...it's just too poignant and tragic. The intensity of the emotions sometimes blows me away. However, even if the effect of the story is to say that Eriko does move on or find happiness with a new girlfriend, I don't think I could bring myself to consider it a happy ending.

Ugh, I was re-reading my list today, and god. That last line.
"I wanted to feel that pain every time I saw you. Forever."

i'm re-reading this and holy shit, it's just too good

I wish I didn't enjoy yuri so much that I forced myself to read drama. I don't know if I can handle it, the better the writing the more sad it is but also the more I want to read it. This manga made me sad.

I like this because I know it's not fully closure but at the end it seems that she finally moves on, let's her go finally and moves forward

I'm so glad I re-read this. Definitely putting it on my favorites because it was written so well~

Uff one of the best one shot that I've read: "Love can be a sort of violence". Sakamoto Mano you have me!

So many great lines in this one, and I've always appreciated the way this artist writes their stories. But somehow I feel off about the last line. Did she actually move on?

Man... I am not masochistic enough to enjoy bad endings in yuri... i cri

Aw that was really bittersweet
It reminded me of this quote
Augustus Hill: The worst stab wound is the one to the heart. Sure, most people survive it, but the heart is never quite the same. There's always a scar, which I guess, is meant to remind you that even for a little while, someone made your heart beat faster. And that's a scar you can live with, proudly. All the days of your life.

Just read it with Schindler's list OST playing in the background
Wasn't aware it was a drama
That was like a punch in the guts

ahh...that was sad...

that was a good read although i could only feel pain

It's always crazy where you have those periods in your life where you see someone every day, and then they disappear from you completely. Yet they still leave a mark on you, still stay a part of you... and in this case, completely opened the protagonist to love. This is beautiful.

Nice to see this on featured again. Sakamoto Mano knows how to craft a story

I honestly don't see this as a bad ending. I think all or almost all adolescent loves have to end, and it's rare for one to end in such a way that gives somebody so much insight. She learned her own sexual orientation, about love, about loss, and about how love can hurt people in unintentional ways.
