Review
Remember last week when I reviewed a manga about a girl and her uncle who live together and fall in love and said it wasn't creepy? Well this one is creepy. I don't really get the friendship that develops, and think Maki is a total creepster. And Rina is just an all-around awful person, the reasons for which I think should've been elaborated on. I don't know, maybe it's just that Rina reminds me of one of my sisters. You know you're a horrible person when getting cancer is the best thing that's ever happened to you. All that said, I think a lot of other people will like this manga, and it seems to get typically good reviews. I thought it was totally blah, but I suppose it's very possible I'd be in the minority on this one.
