this has really envigored me, here are some of the notes I made while reading: (maybe I'll read it a couple more times (does that count as SH lol) and write a more formal thingy)
-if it were me writing this I'd make him (Miki) anorexic -i don't like how it seems the author wants us to like him now... the author did a good job at making the skin crawl -We haven't seen the love for Itsuki, we've only seen it from Mike's perspective. initially it was believable, but as the story's progressed we've seen all the love for Miki while Itsuki has been sidelined - this causes the reader to doubt the word. what's been shown is more believable than what is told. -it'd be better if the story was told entirely from the perspective of Miki, or at lest by those who love him. I feel that kazuya shouldn't be given a voice, if the mangaka isn't to use dramatic irony, he should be equally an enigma to Miki and the readers - so as to feel his at-a-loss feeling. The mangaka hasn't put the same thought and time as Lolita's writer into his perspective so it doesn't land - and it is obvious the mangaka has a different view on predatory behaviour than Nabakov
