    These are all stories I've read myself, and they all have their highlights. The first one, regardless of whether it's based on a real person or not, is very realistic and nuanced. The second one, I think everyone knows about it; I read it during winter break, and I cried from beginning to end, except for the part about Fugui's outrageous actions at the beginning. You can read the third one yourself. The fourth one is a comic book, and the fifth one has an extra chapter, which is quite unexpected. The sixth one is short, but I really found it very moving; you can finish it in 15 minutes. The last one is quite long; it's one of my favorites, and I've read it at least six or seven times. It has some angst, but the ending is happy, though it depends on your personal preference.
