Continuing my resolve to review every series I read, here's SIL.

The story is touching, sweet, and heartrending all at the same time. The story is very well done, the characters are incredibly believable. Some of the actions are a little bit of a stretch, but nothing detracts from the story.

The art is good, and the different panels effectively guide the story.

Characters are the strong point of this One off manga. They all come across as believable, and the actions of the characters follow what you would expect the characters to do. Not in a predictable, plodding way, but as yeah, I could see that happening.

The story was enjoyable - as enjoyable as the inevietable end can make it. Overall, an uplifting story, even with the sadness from the main plot.

Well worth a look for Slice of life fans
