I read this book because I loved the Blue Period series by Tsubasa Yamaguchi. It turns out Yamaguchi only did the artwork, and the story was written by Makoto Shinkai. I did not like the story much because it was too simple and slow. It is mostly plot-driven, and I didn't get attached to any characters. I think younger readers might enjoy it more. The artwork is done beautifully at least.
