Sakura no Uta by Odawara Hakone

- The tear flows because of tenderness. -

The front cover of the manga.

Sakura no Uta is a one volume manga drawn by Odawara Hakone featuring the story of Kusanagi Naoya. Naoya lost his mother at a young age.As his father was a painter who traveled around the world, the only person who could help him cope with the loss was his friend, Misakura Rin. Unfortunately, she moved away while they were at elementary school. Now in high school, the colder and steeled Naoya deals with the death of his father.When things look like they will turn worse for Naoya who already has trouble opening up to people, a new transfer student comes to his class.

Kusanagi Naoya and Misakura Rin.

In my opinion, this is a very touching and heart-warming manga which will appeal to most of the people out there (except morons)(not meant to offend anyone). It saddens me that this great manga only consist of one volume as it don't really feel completed, but since that quality > quantity *ahemnarutobleachahem*, this manga is a must read if you have some free time.

A rating of 9/10 from me.
