this is genuinely my favorite manga ever i think. i reread this every 6 months or so. i just love every perspective and how realistic this was. it’s not a sunshine-and-rainbows story, but it’s not pure angst either; it’s like life. i especially loved seunghee and suhyeok’s story, maybe bc i relate to suhyeok a lot. i don’t understand why ppl think seunghee had no personality since we get a pretty detailed explanation of why he is the way he is in the beginning, and how he changes as the story progresses. i love so much about this story. i love almost all the characters (pedo guy excluded obv). inbeom and seunghee’s friendship is so meaningful to me. inbeom isn’t your typical “irredeemably horrible bully” that you see in so many mangas. he is very flawed yes but some of the feelings (“now i know i’m the bad guy and people don’t change”) he suffered from resonated with me. i know its actually a pretty long manga but i truly wish it never ends every time i read it :)






no words just no words are enough to explain what this manga means to me. i found this at the age of 16 (4 yrs ago now lmaooo) during the pandemic when i was dealing with coming to terms with being gay in a deeply homophobic country, i hated myself so much, and i felt so lonely. being a lonely queer teen, with no one around me who was like me, i thought there was no way out for me. this was my life and i would spend the rest of it hating myself for being the way i am and never truly getting to be me. this manga changed my life. it gave me hope that i could find community too, i could be loved for who i am too. i could love other people for who they are. this is something everyone should read at least once, especially those struggling with queer loneliness.
