Throughout the story the manga explores themes such as dealing with the loss of someone, as well as opening up to other people. We see that the both Shino and Nozomi rely on each other somewhat following the death of her brother. Shino can see Nozomi as a sisterly figure, whilst Nozomi clings onto a connection to her deceased husband. At the same time they worry about what each other truly thinks of them, and worry about burdening each other. As the story progresses we see how their relationship changes, how they know each other better; but we also see that they are constantly haunted by the feeling of loss.
The story is generally sweet, following their daily lives, but occasionally there are darker tones, such as when they are reminded of their loss or when they worry about each other.
This story does not contain Yuri; however there are occasionally parts which can be interpreted as hints of Yuribait.
