@Kochen102 I believe it's that Shino giving Nozomi the ring and Nozomi "accepting" it is proof that Nozomi's husband is dead and that he will never come back. The fact that Shino is the one who gave the gift on behalf of her brother is proof that he can never again give something to Nozomi and forces Nozomi to come to terms that he won't come walking through the door ever again. Now obviously they know he's dead but it's another thing to accept it on a fundamental level.
HHRRRNNGG it hurts my soul and mind reading this manga, i just want them to be happy, jesus, the worst thing is that i can only keep reading as i can't change the story.
I have a confession, I have been finding it harder and harder to actually click on the chapter and read it without being reluctant about it for at least 1 hour first. Ever since “that” chapter, I’m just really really scare of reading a chapter and figured out what happen to Nozomi and then have my heart shatter with how painful it is. Help me.
There it isssssssssssss !! the dread that has been haunting us from the start!!
I wonder if we'll go into climax territory soon, I can't enjoy fluffy moments knowing that THIS is happening behind their daily smiles.
I love keeping up with this story, but geez, it definitely does bounce my emotions around in all sorts of ways, and not necessarily in a good way. I'm invested, though, since I like the characters, so I guess we're in it for the long(er) haul. Hopefully, we move onto the next stage of grief soon because it feels like she's been stuck in "denial" for the entire story so far, and I don't think I could handle it if we take another 80+ chapters for each stage of grief.
IRL, of course, it's good for people to take however long they need to when grieving (especially if a person passed unexpectedly like in this story), but damn it, the drama is so one-note in this manga that it's tiring me out.
Acceptance is the first step on the road to yuri.
Cute chapter. Will be interesting to see how Shino traverses this and how Nozomi responds (I mean, outside of crying on her parents couch wearing black - p1ch75).
