Chou ni Naru Hi 

Chou ni Naru Hi

The Day I Became a butterfly is a volume which contains 6 chapters, each a different story:
1 The Day I Become a Butterfly
There is a rumor going around school that Mikami can “hear” when one’s death is near. Uka has just turned fifteen, but is unaware of how long he will have left to live. Will the budding love between Mikami and Uka have a happy ending? (Source: DMP)
2 You at the end aka Hate Ni Aru Kimi
A short story about a guy sick of this world and the unlikely boy who anchors him to it. (Source: Storm in Heaven)
3 The Lonely War
A male/female romance asking the question if a man and a woman can be only friends? It delves into the pain of unrequited love and the fear and uncertainty surrounding a future overshadowed by the past. (Source: ActiveAnime)
4 Blue Cat Tunnel
A story about one girl’s hope to find a way out of her life. (Source: B-U)
5 Tokyo Alien Ulala
The fifth story adds a bit of unlikely and quirky, though quiet, bit of humor to a tale of love in unlikely situations. “Tokyo Alien Ulala” is a tale of a teen being won over by his unusual friend in an intriguing and eccentric manner that is as charming as it is endearing. (Source: ActiveAnime)
6 Planet Yours
Then in “Planet Yours” a desperate young teenager finds a lifeline and hope in the magic of his friends.
Each story, no matter the drama, the rare touch of humor, or the pain, stirs the heart to heights before unfelt. The art work holds a precious beauty and grace. The stories embrace the reader with warm intentions and emotions both beautiful and painful to experience. These are matters of the heart that are on a more sophisticated plateau than the average yaoi. The poignancy of the story telling contains a sublime beauty and ineffable depth. You could read the stories in here again and again and find new nuances of emotions not caught and beheld before each time.
In regards to the subject matter, this is not the lighter shades of romantic angst in the usual yaoi/shounen-ai books. This deals with the fear of death, the loss of loved ones, the suffering of long term abuse, and the trauma of rape and the anguish of affairs. It is done however, not in a gritty, hard hitting way, but in a manner that gently rests that suffering against your heart for your reflection and empathy. It inextricably links love with hope in each story. It is a manga far beyond the ordinary.
IN SUMMARY:
The Day I Become a Butterfly is an infinitely beautiful manga in both its art style and tender stories of love that stir the heart and move the soul. Whether you’re a yaoi/shounen-ai fan or simply a person who appreciates and loves stories of rare emotional depth, this is the one book you simply must pick up.
