Dear Myself, Volume 1

The premise of the story was interesting but it was downplayed a lot so it sort of fell flat to me. Also, Daigo is really dependent and needy to the point of it being a pathological problem. I can understand the trauma of his past but at the same time it pretty much got on my nerves.

Hirofumi is a 16-year-old boy who wakes up one morning without any memory of the past two years. Turns out, he was in a car accident two years earlier and lost his memory then. Now that he's regained his memory of his life prior to the accident, he's forgotten the two years after it.

His biggest surprise is when one of his schoolmates, Daigo, insists that they've been lovers for the past two years. Hirofumi doesn't even think he's gay. But something in his heart hurts whenever Daigo loses his smile.

The story was originally published in 1998, so it's ten years old now and has the same flavor as a lot of the stuff I was reading in the Japanese June magazine back in the early and mid-90s. It's pretty and fluffy and romantic and silly. Not show more something I'd make an effort to seek out. But not a bad way to waste an hour. show less

I really enjoined the manga, but it was just different then the usual ones i read.
