Another work by Temari Matsumoto, called Cause of My Teacher also includes a story about Hiiragi and Asagi.

Reception

[edit]

Krista Hutley for the Library Journal said of Shinobu Kokoro: "Themes of passion and loyalty weave through the three romances, which are sweet if superficial."[2] Tom Rosin for MangaLife noted the explicitness of the manga.[3] Reviewer Julie Rosato disliked how young and compliant the ukes were in the stories, but enjoyed Matsumoto's semes.[4]
