It will surely bring you comfort and warmth. I highly recommend this manga! Be kind to yourself, especially now at a time of isolation, and grab this book. There’s enough angst and fluff to balance each other out, leading to a hopeful, beautiful ending. I was honestly afraid that there wouldn’t be enough pages to cover what should be covered, but the plot is perfect despite the book being short. Yutaka’s character blossomed when he found himself surrounded by people who loved him back–people he would never want to let go–and learned the risks and hurt one can take when loving someone. The characters are so sweet and kind-hearted despite having had experienced hurt. An example is, at some point, Minoru asks Yutaka if he can drop the -san from his name, but he never uses that to address Yutaka in any page in the book. Some were used in random parts and it was a bit bothersome.

His meals and weekends start looking up when he meets the Ueda brothers: Minoru and Tane, twenty-three and four years-old respectively. Hozumi Yutaka, a twenty-three year-old salaryman living on his own, has difficulty sharing meals with people because he’d always experienced rejection from his own family.
