but the art is so good & the story is interesting. Overall a good read & not as extreme as I feared
Honestly can't believe this is ending but it's one of the very few mangas that has kept my interest over so many years! The plot is super unique & all the characters are well-developed and captivating as individuals & in their dynamics with other people. And the chemistry & romance - a timeless love that overcomes so many difficulties! <3 <3
but all the stories of the people in their lives are so touching and relatable <3
It was heavier than I expected & showed the harsh realities of life with his debt, the porn industry, and living as a gay man w/societal pressures. Points for realism even if it made it painful & frustrating at points. But their relationship & chemistry was really good & I'm glad they got their happy ending
But mainly fuck that rapist & his weird incestuous bullshit. I hope he suffers until he dies
this is funny so far & the story is super interesting lol. can't wait for more!
First Kaoru's deadbeat leech of a mom abandoning him except to extort him for $ who has her bfs threaten to assault him?? If anyone has a parent like this I beg them to cut them off even if it's painful
And Toma's parents suck too. "We never smiled at you or gave you any affection and threatened you with shaming the family your whole life...but 10 years after you left we're starting to think maybe we were wrong boohoo" like f*ck off
unpopular opinion mayb but i kinda wish toma hadn't reconciled with his parents. like it was just unnecessary imo. i mean if it had been literally anyone else (friend, distant family, ex, whatever) then reconciliation would've been off the table in most cases, but just bc it's his parents suddenly it's a good thing they made up? nah.
like sextortion & cheater ml...but this author's art is so sexy
