Haru's Curse is about Pain, Guilt, Grief, Love, and Relationship. I was hooked to the story, I just wanted to finish it in a single go, and when I finished I had gone through a little emotional phase.
It starts with Haru's death, someone lost a BELOVED sister, someone lost a Fiance, and someone lost a Daughter(Technically Step-Daughter). But the loss hit the most to the sister, her only reason for doing anything, to move forward, for her Sister...whom she loved...with everything. It was mostly because both of them were the only person for each other after their mother Divorced and left, and their Dad re-married and brought a Step-Mother into their life. And the loss of Haru drained almost every will to do anything from Natsumi.
As for Toga, he is from a rich-household with everything paved for his future, his Mother has decided everything from his childhood to his marriage. And Toga never had anything to wish for, and passion, or any will to do anything for his own-self. Everything he does was what his mother has planned, processed, and executed. But without a clue, he got interested in Natsumi while dating Haru, and he did not have a clue for what that feeling is, all he knew was he wanted to feel it more. But after Haru's death, to keep Haru alive in herself, Natsumi started dating Toga under CONDITION .
Asuka's art style is incredibly beautiful, with a pinch of drama and humor making it eye-catching, and the story keeps the reader's head inside the world. You can feel the feelings on the faces of the characters, which makes it incredible.
I got this from NetGalley and Kodansha Comicsin exchange for an honest review.
