Philosophia

A magnificent work so far by this mangaka!

So...the whole thing is about having a purpose in life through the one you love. Good.

Spoiler

Is that Tomo's little brother? I thought he was already born when she left. Why does he say that?

Having your purpose of life depend on others is not good. You should be your own purpose.

Now I want to light a cigarette and take a smoke ... and I don't smoke.

  Thanks for this chapter and for your work in this manga.

Spoiler

I think it just means that the mother had another child after Tomo died and this time a girl, because the Tomo-look-a-like-sibling definitely looked female.

Mmmmmh yeah...that must be it

That was a good read, sad it ended so early.

holy shit this is great

 

I'm immersed with the character's interactions. I'm also liking the tranquility of the manga. It hits close to home, with all the character's perspectives and resolves.

 

can't wait for the next chapter

"Even your name is cute, literally telling people to love you."

 

LOL. That's certainly one way to put it.

OH MY GOD A NEW CHAPTER ;u;

 

Thank you Yuri Project and AnpanMayo!

You're my heroes.

Thanks for the chapter, this is a very interesting story, anyone knows how many chapters does this manga has and if is still ongoing?.

HOMFG. An update ;u;

Thank you Yuri Project group!

“I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind--and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression.” :: Ayn Rand 'Atlas Shrugged'

Just one more way in which Ayn Rand was an idiot.  How typical of her to manage to identify the creativity of thinking with the destructiveness of fire.

 

Meanwhile, is it just me or is it somehow typically Japanese that Tomo for all these years has hated her step-mom's coffee but it seems never to have occurred to her to show stepmom how to do it right (or, if she doesn't know, to learn how to make good coffee and do it herself)?  Or is that just Tomo?

I'm liking it, but I must admit I'm thrown by just how central the bloody smoking is.  It actually feels suffocating sometimes.

 

Considering the first part of the chapter 3, it's not only the smoking that's becoming suffocating. The MC's train of thought is pretty grim right now. There's certainly some form of rapprochement that can be made here. 

 

There's also the fact that Tomo certainly knows of Ai's attraction towards her and is trying to maintain distance.

 

I think that two factors are in play here.

 

1. Still has some lingering feelings for the step-mom contrary to what she says.

 

2. But more importantly, she feels like she's as bad as a person than her father which makes her think she isn't good for Ai.

 

 

 

Also something we've all suspected is confirmed, the step-daughter did her mom. It was pretty obvious considering her character design ( the mom ).

 

That father is literally the most chill person ever. "You say my wife is lonely and she might cheat on me? That's to be expected I guess".

 

The mother is easily pitiable here.

Is this still being updated? Would be a shame if it were dropped.

Sexy, adult women. Can't get any better than that. Love this~

it has its charm, so do Fragments of Love and Citrus
