The annual "Walking Festival"—trudging 80 km overnight... Takako and Toru are in their final year of high school facing their third walk, caught in their delicate relationship, each agonizing over whether things can remain as they are, supported by caring best friends. It felt so incredibly good! It seems such a waste that I had put off reading it thinking it was "just walking"! Reading it was pure joy from start to finish, leaving a truly refreshing feeling.
かな on Booklog Walking 80 km in a single day alongside schoolmates for the "Walking Festival"—my initial impression was that it sounded exhausting. Yet as each student took on the walk carrying their own thoughts and feelings, it became a story that made me wish it would never end! It was truly enjoyable!
うたえなが on Booklog The soles of my feet tingle in sympathy with the pain. Perhaps through some collective suspension-bridge effect, everyone walking together feels so endearing. The wagers and secret charms are like aphrodisiacs stirring up extraordinary excitement. Those self-conscious, fragile teenage hearts are so radiant that I envy them. What a wonderful thing to yearn for.
