Too Bad It Wasn't Me [Tezuka Arc]

Part of the same series of stories in my column. It's a long one, so feel free to jump in.

[Bittersweet unrequited love × three parts sugar]

#1.

Tezuka... He's wonderful.

He's a dazzling star, straight and tall as a pine tree.

It's just a shame

that I'm not the heroine in his story.

An unrequited love is one person's private chaos, while his world remains calm and clear.

Though I never had him, he lit up all of my youth.

Theme: To the light in my youth that was always just out of reach.
