Another manga that got my interest… though truthfully, I don’t think it’ll catch yours.
Super Brief Summary
The story centers around two people, Kazama Masamune and his newly discovered daughter, Koharu.
Kazama Masamune
Kazama is a single 23 year old man who’s still clinging to the memory of his past lover, Youko. She had moved abroad to study and despite the numerous letters that he sent her, there never was a reply. Then in spring, he learns that she passed away. Meeting with her mother after the funeral, Kazama hears about how Youko secretly raised a child alone. The child is now 5 years old, meaning that she was conceived about the same time that Youko left. Adding to the confusion, Youko told her mother that the child was Kazama’s. Filled with emotion, he stormed out after saying that it was a lie. If something important like that really happened, he should have been told.
Koharu
One day, while working late, he happens to meet a little girl outside who was trying to get her string-cup phone untangled from a tree. After rescuing her and her toy, the girl introduced herself as Koharu and explained that the device was intended for her mother since she had so many things to tell someone… but she just can’t directly. However, for some reason, her mother is no longer able to use it. The two talked some more before an employee called out Kazama’s name. Hearing it, Koharu realized that the man she was talking to was her father. Confronted by his past, Kazama eventually makes the decision to live together with her, turning his normally ill-fated spring to a vividly emotional one.
