   The first five books are all written by the same author (angst at first, then sweet), with a "wife-chasing-after-the-crescent" plot. I highly recommend the 7th book (there's a comic version). The protagonist suffers from depression, and the other protagonist is unaware and relentlessly torments him (happy ending). The 8th book has the other protagonist suffering from amnesia, only forgetting that the protagonist's parents lied to him about liking someone else, leading to a "wife-chasing-after-the-crescent" plot in the end. From the 9th book onwards, they are all bad endings, I cried so much [crying]. There's also a book called "Flowers, Blooming" which has a real-life counterpart.
