Why this must be read:

This is, quite simply, gorgeous. Post-series, Shin is waiting for Yankumi to really notice him. The story is slow and quiet, and the silences between Shin and Yankumi are filled with depth and meaning.

Now he’s sitting at her table, watching her grade papers with a deadly expression; his socks are spread out on the heater and it feels funny to be barefoot before her, exposed like this, even though they’re only toes. They were caught in the sudden shower and he’d given her his jacket, and she’d dragged him home for tea and dumplings. Probably just to thank him. She’s dense like that.

Just a quick note to say I'm really enjoying your recs. I know the stories already, but almost without exception you keep picking ones I really like, and that reminds me to go read them again. It's really nice to get a gentle nudge ever so often to do that. :-)
