Taiyou no Ie

so, i basically brought this blog back from the dead because i wanted to keep track of my favorite chapters from the mangas i read. (*cough* *cough* romantic chapters *cough* *cough*) so, i'm starting off with a more recent favorite: Taiyou no Ie.
its about a girl and a group of siblings that were very close when they were young, but were separated for different reasons. later on in life- highschool age for the main girl- they slowly start coming back to live together.

these lists are for people who have read the mangas before. there will be spoilers in the short side descriptions. If you skip the rest of the chapters, you'll basically get hit with the biggest spoilers and not know whats going on at all.
