In this heartwrenching new yuri manga, a teenage girl comes to terms with her own sexuality through her crush on her brother's wife.

A TOO-LATE LOVE

High schooler Uta must navigate living in close quarters with Kaoru: her first crush, her childhood friend...and now, her sister-in-law. After spending a year under the same roof with her brother and Kaoru, Uta witnesses the cracks in their marriage beginning to show. And when Uta becomes Kaoru's sole comfort and ally in their home, she is torn between her duty and her feelings. She just can't get over her...not yet.
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.
[If I Could Reach You depicts a] specific kind of pain a lot of queer people, me included, have experienced… It has a lacerating psychological acuity… a tonally diverse slice of life that captures many kinds of moments, both happy and sad…deals with complicated, difficult issues with a sensitivity and grace you rarely see." -Anime News Network

"An emotional maelstrom…far from the warm, bubbly love stories that have seen recent success in [the yuri genre]. 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
