About: This story is about Takuma Kakunochi, an athletic boy who is diagnosed with a serious heart disease since he was young. Because of this, he is not able to do heavy exercise and is always confined in the hospital. However, he met Mayu Taneda, his doctor's daughter and immediately becomes close friend. At the age of 8, Takuma even promised to Mayu that he will marry her at the age of 20. And that's how they fall in love deeper with each other.

One day, Takuma found out that he is unable to live past 20 years old. In addition to that, he was shocked that he is the only one who is kept under the dark. And from that day onwards, he kept his distance from Mayu and told her to not hold on to their childhood promise. Mayu was puzzled by his sudden changed. What will happen? Will she listen to what Takuma says? Can Takuma hold back his feelings? What will happen when the time comes?

This is a sad SAD story. A story that involves life and death, the healthy ones and the terminally-ill ones. A situation that we, as a living organism can't escape - DEATH. We are anxious when we know that one day we will die. So, what happen if we were told our time limit? Will you live your life to the fullest or will you just wait as the day pass by? This manga may give you an answer. 

The drawing of this manga is quite similar to Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru. It has a clean, defined and beautiful drawing and the manga is easy to read. Later, only I found that it was drawn by the same person. Not only that it has the same style of drawing, the characters of these 2 mangas are actually related!! 



The movie actually retains most of the stories but has a different ending. So, you might just want to watch the movie if you are too lazy to read the manga?? XD (I was just joking, please do read the manga. Even though it has many similarities, the "feel" is different~)

Internship Experience in Ryokan (旅館 - Japanese-styled Hotel)

'いらっしゃいませ' (Irasshaimase!)、'ありがとうございます' (Arigatou gozaimasu!) Very common terms but the most polite terms. These 2 terms accompanied me during my whole internship period.  If you do not know, I internship-ed in Japan for 2 months in the service industry. To know how I came across this internship opportunity, click here .  The ryokans, aka Japanese-styled hotel, that I worked in were Takimotokan Yukinosato (滝元館遊季の里) and Umi no Hana (海の花). They are luxury ryokans strategically located closed to tourist attractions, which provide great hospitality and ultimate relaxation to the guests. Both are ryokans with private and public onsen.  Since the main topic today is my internship experience, I'm not going deep into information of both the ryokans today. I will be writing more information on both the ryokans and the surrounding attractions in another post, or if you can't wait for it, please visit their website! 1. Appearance The first thing I

Internship Experience in Ryoutei (料亭)

Image
Ryoutei is a luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant, which served kaiseki style meals for business and formal meetings (source from Wikipedia). Everyone that goes to a Ryoutei has a purpose. It is not just a simple filling the stomach meal. It can be a business meeting, a celebration, a family meeting, a book sharing session, a reunion, a party or any occasion you can think of, which is why the customers going there are usually dressed formally. Having said that, anyone are welcomed to visit a ryoutei to enjoy the exquisite, delicate meal prepared by a qualified chef and served by the beautiful omotenashi-san (something like waitress?). However, do remember to make a reservation in advance as meals are prepared freshly according to the number of customers. The ryoutei I worked in is called Shikiryotei Sukeroku (粋料亭　助六) currently managed by Okami - Chikage Nakamura and her husband, Hideyuki Nakamura, who is also the head chef of Sukeroku. During my whole internship experie

4D3N in Hong Kong (part 2)

Image
Hi! Happy Chinese New Year!! Continuing from the previous post . DAY 2 We woke up early for breakfast at the Hong Kong-ians' favourite DIM SUM! We went to a dim sum restaurant near our hotel and ordered about 12 items as my sister and I were starving (planned to stuff as much as we could as we knew that the food in Disneyland would cost twice as much as the usual food price). We thought that 12 items were quite the normal amount until the waitress turned around and confirmed with us the amount of food that we ordered. Were 12 items too much for 4 people?  These are some of the items that we ordered. If you are not sure what to order, try order the items that are marked with a star. Those are the recommended items.  Right after the sumptuous breakfast, we immediately headed off to the must-go destination - Hong Kong Disneyland. Going to Disneyland by MTR is not a mission impossible. In fact, MTR in Hong Kong has the easiest route from all the places that I hav
