Ashima is a lonely girl dealing with feeling like she doesn&#8217;t belong. Living in a small town where everyone knows the local gossip truly is <em>hell<\/em>. The reason that she acts out and suffers academically make sense, and I appreciated how the manga attempts to explore complex themes about family. I still don&#8217;t like the weird romantic tension between half sisters, and I hope that this aspect of the story is resolved in a way that isn&#8217;t gross.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s interesting that the synopsis makes no mention of the Ashima and Sakura story, despite taking up a majority of the volume. Mayumi, Rin, and Hinata are relegated to supporting characters. Mayumi falls a little too fast for my taste, having only been in the town for a week before discovering that she&#8217;s &#8220;in love.&#8221; The ending ends the same way that volume one does, with the full introduction of a troublesome character from Mayumi&#8217;s past. The villainess has arrived, and I&#8217;m curious to see how this new story thread plays out.<\/p>\n<h4>Quote<\/h4>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEven if I go\u2026 There is no space for me anymore.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h4>Content Warnings<\/h4>\n<span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Child Abandonment, Child Abuse, Incest, Infidelity, Manipulation, Nudity <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\">\n<h3>About Naoko Kodama<\/h3>\n<p>Kodama Naoko is a Japanese manga artist.
