Vs. Boku No Hatsukoi Wo Kimi Sasagu

So this will be my first real entry, and I thought it would be appropriate for me to talk about a manga that none of my friends will read but I felt was totally unreal and so well done.
You have probably already guessed what's called because its the name of the post "Boku No Hatsukoi Wo Kimi Sasagu"!!!
This manga is about a boy with a extremely weak heart, Takuma, so he spends most of his days in the hospital. He quickly befriends a the daughter of his doctor, Mayu. After becoming best friends from hanging out every day in the hospital, Mayu over hears her Dad talking to Takuma's parents about the fact that Takuma will not live past the age of 20. Devastated Mayu tries everything she can to help him get better, things like black magic and four leafs clovers but nothing seems to work. So to inspire hope into him she promises to marry him! (they are like 8 at the time)
One of the best starts to a manga ever!!!!!
So they start going to school together with everyone in there school knowing that they are engaged already. And every time someone picks on Mayu, Takuma always tries his best to defend her even though he physically cant endure it. So these events are always bringing Takuma in and out of the hospital.
And like all Japanese schools they always have an awesome school trip, unlike our schools in Canada, we just go down the street.
So Takuma having to do check ups still, he goes to a different doctor where the doctor lets it slip that he wont live past 20 and learns everyone was keeping this info from him. Takuma now realises his greatest mistake, he made a promise to Mayu he can't keep. He couldn't bare with that he Mayu would be faithfully be in love with him for over 10 years only to have him die when their adult life started.
Takuma decides to go to a boarding middle school and doesn't tell Mayu in a hope to run away from her so she will forget about him. But one morning when she comes to pick him up for school she is greeted by his mother who is furious at her because she thinkings he is leaving to the boarding school to run off with Mayu (his mom is nuts btw).
At the ceremony for the middle school the floor is given to the 1st years representative person, who is of course Mayu and her speech in tales her yelling at Takuma for trying to run away.
For a while their relationship entails of Takuma running away from her and Mayu trying to win him over. This of course makes the student president, Kou, of this school interested in Mayu and he starts to go after her.
THIS IS WHERE SHIT GETS REAL!!!!
A random girl to the story who they know from the hospital who has the same condition as Takuma only better, confesses to Takuma and he says yes in hopes it will scare off Mayu and because he doesn't wanna say no to her and kill her from the shock. (this chick is a bitch btw, she fakes heart attacks to get what she wants) But after a while Mayu tells Takuma that she will wait for him under the bridge where she got four leaf covers for him if he doesn't show she will forget about him forever.
He decides to break it off with random girl. But when he breaks up with her she dies and so he spends the rest of the day at the hospital in shock that she died. So when he finally gets to the bridge he is too late and she is making out with Kou.
My heart sunk!! I know I'm a guy and its not the most mainly to admit this, but think back to when Ace died during One Piece and you know what I'm talking about!!!
So after this happens he continues to tell everyone that he is still with the hospital girl so that Mayu will stay with Kou. But one day Mayu goes home and she talks to her dad who tells her that the hospital chick died. She then confronts him as soon as possible but it appears that nothing will change his mind.
Years go by and Mayu and Kou are broken up, but they all still see each other in high school. Takuma's heart is now a lot better but still goes for check ups every once and while. Takuma is obviously still in love with Mayu and trying to run away but cant seem to do it completely. Then finally Takuma gives in to her and it appears they will finally have a happy ever after. But it seems he can only make her cry and his health takes a turn for the worse and has to start thinking about heart transplant. And it becomes very apparent that Mayu is the reason why his heart is starting to deteriorate because she is constantly putting pressure on him, like telling him to have sex with her and kiss her. So now the tables have turned and she tries to get away from him!
Takuma completely changes his out look on life and does all the stuff that might kill him because he realises that if he takes it easy at best he lives the rest of his life in the hospital, which sucks!!!!
This entire time this happens all you can do is cheer for Takuma!! A lot like when Perona cheers on Usopp from One Piece http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcQpFZOsqz8
And this is where your heart really starts to get into the manga!!!
Just wanna say . . . THIS MANGA IS SOOOOOOOO WELL DONE!!! Classic love story but just perfect to a T!
Because now it looks like every thing is perfect for these two! But its far from it because now the only thing on Takuma's mind is marriage. But how can he possibly marry her when he's going to die. And one fateful night they sneak out of school and go to a different town to get matching charms, so they end up staying the night in a hotel and finally do it! Then Takuma wakes up and Mayu isn't there, he finds her outside staring at the moon begging that Takuma wont die!!
This puts such a spin the relationship they have because both people know this story will not end well!!

END OF RANT
Well that's all I'm going to say about this right now. Feel free to read it yourself. I strongly recommend you do!
10/10 in my opinion
