Synopsis

Uta Naruse's first love moved beyond her reach before she could fully realize her feelings. Kaoru, her childhood friend and the object of her affection, married Uta's brother, Reiichi. Due to some difficulties with her parents, Uta now lives with the joyful newlyweds. After a year of sharing a home with her crush, Uta finds it increasingly difficult to come to terms with her feelings. Her only solace comes from relaying her troubles to her friend and confidant, Kuroe.

Grappling with what she imagines to be a forever unrequited love, Uta is unable to find peace. However, recent events hint at issues in Kaoru and Reiichi's marriage. Perhaps they are not as happy as Uta imagined.

There's a lot that could have gone wrong with a premise about a high school girl in love with her adult step sister but I'm pleased to say that this manga is actually quite good and does not engage in anything unpleasant regarding the adult-child relationship.

This is a story about an unrequited love that cannot be realized and how the main character, Uta, deals with it. Will she move on? Will she cherish her feelings even though they hurt her? As the title suggests, the crux of the story is whether Uta's feelings will ever be understood by her step sister and if so, ...

This story is a prequel to a manga I wish existed. Spoilers ahead.

This manga has a constant sense of weight that is hard to describe. In most stories like this, something heavy might happen to set the scene and you get the entire story of them falling in love.

Preliminary (37/37 eps)
Tatoe Todokanu Ito da to Shite mo had an interest idea: what about an impossible love?
Well, this good premise fell into an endless boring writing, only comparable to the poor art. Yeas, the art on the colored pages looks... good, really good to be honest, but on regular bases, coming to the black and white, well, sometimes I want to drop just because of de lazy in the design as a whole.
The characters are some kind of one-dimensional at all. Excepting the love affair of her, no one change much passing the 37 chapters!
Protagonist best friend Kuroe is one of the WORST characters I'd ever ...
