ENGLISH
I love you I don’t wanna listen to sad songs, at least not right now
I love you My room is where we eventually escaped, escaped to
This isn’t the sort of romance where we let anything slide
You and I are just like stray cats
My room’s like an empty box filled with dead leaves
So cry for me in that kittenish voice of yours
When you and I each come bringing sweetness with us
And hold each other tight on my creaky bed,
We’ll close our eyes again
So that our love won’t ever be ruined by sad songs
I love you Our love was much too young and immature,
and harbored secrets we couldn’t touch on
I love you We’ll never get there the way we’re living now,
To a romance where we live as one
All you and I do is dream and get ourselves hurt
You ask me over and over again if I love you
And tell me you could never live without my love
When you and I each come bringing sweetness with us
And hold each other tight on my creaky bed,
We’ll close our eyes again
So that our love won’t ever be ruined by sad songs
Then we’ll close our eyes again
So that our love won’t ever be ruined by sad songs

This manga is inspired by the song Kimi Ni Nare by KOBUKURO. The song is not bad for me.
I just read the chapter 1 of this manga and I can relate too much to the struggles and suffering of the main character in terms of reaching goals and dreams
EXILE NAOTO appears in the music video of KOBUKURO’s new single “Kokoro” which will be released on 5/24 (Wed.)! In addition to EXILE NAOTO’s appearance, there is a wonderful…
