This, Yuki's trauma runs DEEP and is super complicated, if you have read the megamix panda, that yeah, is self indulgent p*rn, but the part with Yuki thinking about his past abuse AS A KID and how he seems himself as trash for being in love with someone who tried to r*pe him to the point he thinks he can't forget him because he nerver got a closure and can't come into terms with those feelings is, suffocating, harsh and sad. I'll say the parts about his trauma are the most emotionally heavy I've read. Like, If I funda someone like him in real life I wouldn't know what to say.
This series has always been wild and nonsensical, but it never fails to make me laugh...
It helped me go through some pretty bitter times in my life and for that I'm very grateful.
I adore it with all its greatness and all its flaws.
I don't really have a problem with the pre-EX ending either. Yuki was a broken person when Shuichi met him, and forcefully entered into his life. The ending of the story felt like the point where he's finally able to start healing (though he might never fully heal from his trauma). I thought it was oddly realistic, as I also know a few people in similar circumstances.
