This manga shows the relationship between a geisha and her childhood friend who is a body painter.

the moments shared by the two of them has been portrayed well, it had this bittersweet feeling throughout the manga.

since it is a historic manga you also get to see some of the challenges faced by them as individuals and as a couple in that time/era.

In my opinion, this manga was very much enjoyable except for the end which had some unwanted drama. even though those events were portrayed well and the emotions were conveyed properly, I still felt it was unwanted.
