Read the full take

Higurashi Tsugumi lost his parents and maid in a fire when he was still young. He is now fifteen and a promising new writer, but he has been stuck in a slump for the past year. The premise is a warm drama about grief, creative block and the people who help a young artist find his voice again.The strength is the emotion. Tsugumi's grief and his frustration are handled with sensitivity, and the supporting cast gives him real warmth. The writing world is drawn with affection, and the humour lands well.The weaknesses are about the short run. The romance is light, and some plot beats follow a familiar pattern. Readers wanting a longer arc may find it brief.Recommended for readers who enjoy heartfelt stories about creative work and recovery. Expect a sincere, funny read that is short but warm.
