I discover this manga because of TIKTOK, yes, and its a weird feeling when you realized its 20 years old but (leaving some things aside) it aged very well and its a great read.
Sure, its heavy and made uncomfortable many times but that's what I want from a story. To make me feel. I love Jeremy and I think the ending was the best for him, he'll live with the trauma but that does not define him anymore. I would love to read about his healing but its a happy ending for me. I also love how the author developed the relationship with Ian. Ian, its a weird case. He did gave Jeremy a hard time and probably give him more trauma but he is not a professional, he was also struggling with everything, so yeah he did what he could. He's neither good or bad, just like real life, he could've done a lot of things differently? Sure, but he was also a teenager whose life do a 360° from day to night. He is not Jeremy's savior and I'm glad the author made that clear but he try to be there for Jeremy and I think Jeremy did know that too and he thanks Ian for it. I wouldn't go as far as saying they love each other but they do -find- each other. I think that's the word and I like how they are able to sit beside each other and chill and be comfortable. I like that.
For the other characters... William, Valentine and Queen Marjorie are the best. Marjorie, at first I was like "oh great another unstable teenager "and yes lol but she is also a great friend and a caring person, who tries to live her life her way and in the best way she can and I think its the few who love and accept Jeremy as he is. I like that they ended up as friends. Nadia....I hate her. She was great and I like her with Ian but when they break up after the cheating, she tried to be some sort of villain and it was so cringy to me and yeah its sucks to be cheated on but girl, she was not like that and have no reason to chase Ian like she did, considering she already had a bad experience. Also she made everything about herself at some point that was so ? When Jeremy told her his story, her reaction was so disappointing and it that moment I was like ooooh this bitch and after that the whole "give Ian back to me" like Ian told you, he does not want you, Jeremy has nothing to do with it. Ugh. She was a disappointing character. I hate Sandra too. Yes, she was unstable and did not meant to cause some trauma onto her son but that's the key word "some" because I believe she knew and choose not to say anything. She only care about herself and how she reacted to the secretary is my proof. She love the piece of shit pedofile and being love by him more than she loved Jeremy and everyone babied her was so cringy, not, she needed professional help. Jeremy needed to be from her too.
