A truly touching tale, with tight writing and stunning artwork." -Anime UK News "A phenomenal and emotional devastating yuri manga…beautifully told. It is rare for a manga to so effectively and effortlessly communicate the wretched feelings of its characters." -Yuri Mother If I Could Reach You is tMnR's debut series and the artist's first series published in English. It ran in the pages of Yurihime magazine, Japan's most popular home for serialized yuri stories.

The cracks begin to show

The story continues as Uta struggles to suppress her desires for her sister in law and first crush. However there are issues going on with her brother and Karou as he seems to spend more and more time away from the family and her crating business is taking off and Uta decides to work at the cafe in her place. But a high school life has its own tests - and literally in this case as midterms are around the corner and Uta's friend is the lowest ranking student in the grade. But Uta's history comes to life as we find out why she is so cynical about emotions and love and also find out that she has a girlfriend who wishes to know more about her. But things come crashing to earth as Karou makes a discovery that causes the whole house of cards to come crashing down.

This story has more character development and both good and sad moments. If you enjoyed the first one you will like the second as well.
