Cider and Crybaby

Cider and Crybaby is an anthology of short doujin stories crafted by Canno. Each tale weaves a delicate thread of romance, leaving its narrative deliberately unresolved to invite quiet reflection. The collection features eight distinct works: Hanamaru Happy End, Hikkyou Dead End, Hirahira Hiraku Himitsu no Tobira, Welcome to Occult Research Club, Cinderella, Tada Haru wo Matsu, Natsu ga Owaru, and Take ni Tora. Rather than following a single overarching plot, the anthology explores fleeting emotional connections across varied settings and circumstances. From the mysterious atmosphere of an occult research club to the bittersweet transitions of changing seasons, each story captures a specific moment of romantic tension or tender vulnerability. True to their open-ended nature, these narratives resist neat conclusions, allowing the subtle feelings between characters to linger long after the final page.
