Back in elementary school, she was a cheerful, outgoing girl who loved to smile. This all came to an end one day when Eiji, the younger brother of her school tutor and a classmate of hers, told her that she looked ugly when she smiled. Even though he moved away soon after, she took his insult to heart and it's been two years since anyone's seen her smile. Now that Eiji's back in town, what will become of her?!

It was nice. I'm happy Kanako progressed and gained self confidence, and that Eiji didn't continue to be a jackass. I thought misunderstandings and drama would drag on, so it was such a good surprise.

I liked the oneshots. All of them were bittersweet for some reason. I wished the author could explore the theme incest more, since I saw some hints of it (or maybe I'm the one seeing things).

I think the very last oneshot ("The Colour of Lies") is my favourite piece out of all the volumes (the main story included), except Yoshida really confused me lol. I still don't understand how the author wanted to portray him.

that oneshot was just...intimate. I can't explain why I like it, but it sort of builds, breaks, then reforms. if that makes any sense. I'm tempted to say the oneshots included in this series are better than the main story itself.

Whoa. That side story was . . . kind of heavy. Good, very good, but not pulling punches.
