One of the best value Rom-Com manga (in terms of time investment) I've ever met. 29 Ch and it'll make you feel all warm and fussy.

Ch.27's title spells out the core concept of this Manga
"Laughter, is an invention by the animal on this earth that feels hurt the most"
"笑いとは、地球上で一番苦しんでいる動物が発明したものである"

A very short and wonderful, heart warming, romantic tragicomedy. One thing it did better than many others is that it didn't over stayed it's welcome. It's not much time investment and it more than worth it to get to the very end.

If you have cared about someone that you are willing to do anything for them, but could not figure out what to do.
If you know that someone is trying their best to do everything for you, but what they did is just not what you want at this moment.
If you know how bitterly sweet that is, THIS is for you.

If you dont, eh, it'll still be a fun read

It may not have the most stunning art, or the deepest of stories. But I absolutely adore this couple and the interaction between the two.

It did felt like the writer ran out of jokes and ended the story early but I am very glad it did. At the end of the day it's a very heart warming romcom so I wasn't left broken, but DAMN that feels truck hits hard when it did.

Unfortunately to my knowledge there isn't an English translation for this Manga yet. However if you can understand some basic Japanese and have access to this wonderful Manga, I do encourage you to give it a go.

Lastly, for those who are interested but needs a little more persuasion. Go search for the cover art of the 3rd published Vol. If you resonate with that tearing smile then this is a must read.
