fair enough. I think there has to be some relief from all the angst a tiny bit sooner - before the extras; that the two characters should, at some point, show that the story and characters have shifted into a more loving position by showing it, meaning they need to at least have one moment where they embrace each other and kiss. I keep reading stories where the love doesn't happen till after the lovers leave the original setting, in this case high school, when years pass, and they have moved into different positions in society. The loss of local color is too big a loss. It's creates loss and sadness in an already moody story.
I don't think a love story that shows tragedy, angst, and sexual love should cater to little children. I think that's perverted. I don't think children should be reading it. It's too advanced. Parents are lazy, permissive, and this world demands too much of adults for them to be so delusional as to think they can raise more than two kids.
I think all the shonen ai is being done for kids because kids have more disposable income than any other demographic.
I think this would have been a beautiful yaoi stories without all the stupid strictures of shonen ai.
I think the art is extremely well done, beautifully composed, and well-timed. It evokes just the right emotions. Too bad it couldn't fulfill its full potential by attaining the maturity of a yaoi story. I love the story and recommend it even with those few flaws.
pedophiliaphobia. What good is it when you're Korean but not brave? I count on you to be brave along with all the other raging glory that is so potent in your art.
Why do you throw away all the rules of show don't tell when it comes to affection? Two characters with this much angst need at least one sign of physical love, a kiss and as important: a damned embrace! Otherwise I don't know when the tide is inching toward a happy crash onto the shore. WTF?
This dips a tiny toe into yaoi land. bravo. When shounen ai caters to nursery schoolers, as it definitely does when it's so sanitary that the lovers never get within two feet of each other, it's perverted. I said it, and I mean it.
Of course I loved this. I hated when the author threw away all the color of her setting when she pulled them out of high school, but I loved it. I recommend it, of course. I'm angry at it for not getting the sugar cube timing right, but otherwise...
