The characters are well-rounded and unique and human, like it felt REAL. Haru's struggles with her disease, her jealousy and love for her sister and her unrequited loved for Tougo are so realistic. The guilt Natsumi felt, the codependent bond she had with her sister, her dysfunctional family situation are so well portrayed. Tougo's character isn't as well etched out bc it's in Natsumi's POV, but we can figure it out somewhat from the clues given in the manga. The stepmom is a unconventional take on the other woman, and made for an interesting addition to the manga.
This author really knows how to portray interesting and unconventional characters (read Raise No Tanin Ga Ii too if you haven't!) and spins convincing and compelling stories that honour these characters. 1000/10 recommended!
