Summary: Akaishi Haru 's father has just died, leaving him an orphan at age 17. It seems his father was in a lot of debt and took out some shady loans, and just when the Yakuza-esque creditors come to collect, a mysterious lawyer named Senoo Yuuji appears and says he'll deal with the matter personally. As it turns out, Mr. Senoo was someone Haru befriended many years ago as his mother ailed in the hospital, but Haru has forgotten about him.
When the bank takes back the mortgage on his house, Haru takes Mr. Senoo up on his offer to live at his apartment. While Mr. Senoo claims that he's only trying to offer financial support to Haru as a minor, perhaps there is a stronger bond between the two than either realize at first.
My comments: The art and the expressions make this story very soft which really fits the story. It's about two people who've lost something and are alone but connected at two different right times and found a way forward together. I see no need to change my rating and I'll definitely reread it.
Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Art:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Rereadable: 🇾
BookCrossing 2010 note: I love this story! I re-read it every once in a while. I think the first few times I wanted there to be more, but in the last reread I came to feel that it's just fine the way it is. I would love to have more of this author's work in my real life collection. 10/10 stars
Content warnings: Adult x minor (30-somethingx17), they share one kiss but Senoo says they'll wait until Haru is 18 to do anything else
My rating: 10/10
