[※This work is a divided version of "Hanemono".] "Even though I'm a 'Hanemono' (flawed/imperfect) person, is it okay for me to love you?" - Chie Nakahara, 30 years old. If there were a quality inspection for humans, I'm sure I would be a "Hanemono." I had an illness and surgery... because I don't have a uterus. I divorced my husband. I can't be serious about a new love... because I don't want to experience unpleasant feelings again... When I had lost confidence in myself, I met Mr. Sakaki at an art gallery I happened to stop by. Mr. Sakaki is gentle and I feel fulfilled when I'm with him... But even if these feelings turn into love, I'm sure a sad ending awaits me because of my body. A poignant and heartwarming story of adult pure love between Chie, who has lost hope in love, and Sakaki, who has a sad past. [Original](https://www.cmoa.jp/title/188311/)
