This is realistic and from reading books and knowing some gay people, I know that some scenarios in this story unfortunately do happen in real life. It pains me to know these things (and I'm upset that these happen) but I also know that I shouldn't stay ignorant of them too. Before, I was selfish and insensitive to say that ignorance is bliss and I wish I haven't known that shitty things happen to people. I changed my mindset about the sht that happens to gays and now I sympathize (and my heart has not been doing well) and wanted change (little by little, and that’s fine). From what I’ve seen and concluded, Kirino and Mishima are shown as the two paths the LGBTQ community can choose to walk to. I liked how the two of them started, how they’ve seen each other in a different light, but somehow they feel like they’re the same. We also met them as two different people, only to know that they’re from the same side of the coin. As the characters progress (I think this also applies to the side characters), we see that they also have their differences. Their families and their community reminded me of the society we live in today. Good or bad, the story realistically shows them. I haven’t felt my heart squeeze because of how sweet and romantic the story is or felt giddy, but I felt some sort gratitude that I have read this story. My heart squeezed a couple of times in this story, let me tell you but for different reasons. This story is really thought-provoking for me and makes me understand and appreciate people more than I ever did. I just want to hug them both and I wish I could change things for them.
PS: okay let me burst a bubble here and say that I WAS TRULY SCARED SHITLESS BECAUSE OF THE SCENE WITH THE TEACHER REVEALING HIS TRUE SELF. I FORGOT HIS NAME AND IT DOESN’T MATTER BUT I THINK THAT I WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES BECAUSE OF HIM. THE DRAWING WAS TOO SCARY FOR ME, IT REMINDS ME OF MY HORRIBLE IMAGINATIONS THAT I BURIED DEEP INSIDE MY HEAD. AUTHOR-SAN YOU MADDE ME CRY BECAUSE OF FEAR AND ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK. I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS WRITING THIS PS GAHDAMMANIT

when i saw in my notifications that this got updated, i was so shookt and scared at the same time because YAAY for another chapter but then maybe that it will be the last chapter and their story is going to meet its end.
YOU DONT KNOW HOW RELIEVED I WAS WHEN I SAW THAT IT WAS STILL INCOMPLETE. i never wanted this to end
Hahaha i love the part where they're classmates were silently watching them and not at all judgemental hahaha
