i really liked his advice to itsuomi he understands the feeling of not wanting to burden your partner because of personal stuff because he’s been there, but it’s precisely because he’s been there that he also knows that selfishness isn’t always a bad thing, and sometimes acknowledging that you don’t want to make any sacrifices is actually the first step to figuring out how to work it out.
UGHHH this slow burn is going to kill me (in a good way) !! i love love the way they tackle and express/narrate their feelings… it’s like mature but still has that “youth” feeling (with the hesitation and second-guessing and the impulsiveness also), which i think is so fitting given that these are two boys in high school who are grappling with the complexities of love and relationships.
honestly when we think about how long it took to get here in real-time (as in the years it’s been uploading) it certainly FEELS slow-burn, but when i think of the story rationally, i think their pace is still pretty normal, especially with all the factors in the story like their academics, grade difference, schedules, the fact that this is their first serious AND queer romance, and that hirano didn’t even think of kagi-kun romantically.
i literally got whiplash when i properly realized that this is only 30 chapters still it feels like i’ve been reading forever which makes me think the story is long, but it really isn’t.
the rest of the stories are good too, but the last one really got me good. i always get so sad when i imagine how much harder it is to be different in places that are more on the provincial side.
shukuzaki… you barely even got screentime… but you were wonderful…
crazy how good this author can build emotional scenes with only 6 chapters. each panel made me feel so much.
“YAY! our sunny days update” i said with joy. i was then shot 52 times.
40+ years is such a long fucking time to battle with an illness and i can’t even imagine the guilt of one day remembering a loved one that you’ve (unwillingly) forgotten for DECADES. and hyeonji never knowing what happened TT though i like to think that she eventually found out when she passed away
grandpapi being happy that he’s old and won’t have to live too long without hyeonji i don’t agree with not telling hyeonji anything, but i deeply understand where he’s coming from, he just genuinely did not want her to “waste” her life away with taking care of him esp when there was no guarantee that he’d survive…
author i’m deathly afraid of pregnancy and labor but i’ll give you ten kids if it means i’ll get to see them knot and have babies
Real talk
honestly like… a solid 7/10 maybe? the art was realllyyy good. but the story was only Okay maybe because it was so short? it was a very normal/typical psychological type of story, Tod was very obviously going to be the bad guy, i’m on the boss’ side for this one because those poor sheep.
feels biblical and metaphorical but i don’t fw the bible too much so idk what story it’s referencing. Dennis you naive man. the bussy couldn’t have been that good. wish we could have gotten something about what Tod actually is.
the art really was so good it’s carrying much of the rating for me haha
not reading all of it bc i don’t have the patience, but what the fuck is that green haired dude’s problem
hehe… is little A and K the main pair then? i’m not complaining. little A could have sex with a rock and i’m positive the author could make it look good.
