Yukionna Gensou - Michiyuki Hen

Why did he get like that tho. Seriously, why did his diaries not get erased when everything else did? Why did he not age? Why are all men cheaters in this universe apparently?
 
This is a great read. Short but colorful, bittersweet colored manga.
Thanks for scanlating and uploading this.

@sorathecrow I think that the image of Yuki is the one being erased when she leaves. The image on the photographs as well as on the people's memories. But since he wrote in his diary about HIS feelings and not the image of her, it wasn't erased. I think he did not age as the idea of the cold. You preserve something for a long time, you put them to ice and make them cold. Also as she was a spirit or a supernatural being, she must have a longer lifespan or she can be immortal as long as there is snow. I am not entirely sure. And with the guy always following behind her, he got "preserved" too and did not age so much. As for the cheating, I suspect her elder sister has something to do with that. You can see that the older sister can manipulate people's memories as she hanged out with those students. She might also have the ability to transform herself to someone else every time and she would seduce Yuki's partner just to trash on her feelings and will to find the one who'll spend eternity with her (seeing that being with her can make you not age and she mentioned she wants a human husband that would spend his lifetime with her, thus it would mean in eternity).
 
(9) Could of been a 10 if it went on for another two maybe three chapters to wrap things up better/proper (I wouldn't mind reading 20+ chapters of it even if it'd repeat a lot (I mean we still have that weird older sister...)
 
A good quick read. A good drama and have a melancholy feel to it. The characters felt realistic for a fantasy genre. Don't hope much about the romance, while it's the main character's objective, it's take a bitter sweet route rather than happy ending.

About yuki finding someone she love to keep her warm, it's kinda hard knowing she's so sensitive and her 'sister' possibly interferring with her relationship. her sister could be a yokai, but not a yuki onna, maybe a jorogumo, which is a shape shifting demon. The hints are in second story, when the second guy comented on her body heat and the fourth story when the stalker guy comented that she's not that 'cold'.
I'm hoping a continuation, but if it's end like that, it's okay too. Yuki could reject him off screen or they could end up together again, he could move with her from place to places while writing, like his dream.
 
Just stumbled upon this, very glad I did. A good bittersweet story. Hopefully someone translates the supposed sequel.
