I keep rereading this one and I keep forgetting to leave a comment (maybe because it always leaves me sobbing).
Now with spoilers ahead:
I think what I love about this manga is that even thought it is a work about bringing someone back from the dead, it still feels real. Their emotions feel real. I can understand someone wanting an ending that is a bit more dramatic but to me it felt right.
Mamiya loved Sada, even though it took him a while to understand and admit it, he truly loved him in his own twisted way. He wanted to 'destroy' the rest world so Sada could live freely and wouldn't have to hide anymore. That became his only objective. And once he didn't have Sada with him anymore, there was no point to continue with the research he spent most of his life on.
For me, this part was the most heartbreaking one. Sada spent his last moments asking him to take care of himself, to talk to his family, to go make friends, to not drink too much, and then Mamiya couldn't do any of that
Mamiya is a horrible person yes lol but I think the story did a good job at showing WHY he is the way he is (it doesn't justify the things he did, but explains it), and Sada understood him too.
I hope this rant makes sense lol I've been thinking about this manga for weeks now, and I'll keep thinking about it for a long time. I love it a lot.
People are being so dramatic in the comments lol I thought this would be a lot worse.
1. People hating on Ai because he slept with someone else while having feelings for Hikaru. Oh my god. He only did because he thought Hikaru only saw him as family and would not look at him as anything else. It’s the classic “he can’t know about my true feelings because it’ll ruin our relationship”. He only did it to try to control his desire for Hikaru, the other guy literally said that.
2. Ai is obviously not right in the head. He’s crazy. He's obsessed. His brain is full of Hikaru and nothing else. You can’t expect him to act like a normal person. The rape scenes were definitely unnecessary but, once again, that’s classic yaoi for you. I understand what the author tried to do (1st: show how obsessed Ai was / 2nd: show that Ai really forgot about Hikaru “Ai wouldn’t do something like that”) but as always, there were better ways to do it.
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I keep coming back to reread this hopefully we’ll get some side stories soon!!
Leo did annoy me in the beginning (the classic character who is doing everything wrong and is the only one who doesn’t notice it) but he's too cute so it’s hard to stay mad at him ╮(￣▽￣)╭ the chapters of them getting back together made me cry a bit ngl
yeah, he is childish and immature. didn't realize the consequences of his actions. his character development makes me cry.
Yep I loved his character development! He understood what he did wrong and why JJ was upset so he did his best to change ╥﹏╥ in the beginning he annoyed me a bit but by the end of the story I liked him a lot.
please give mr. choi a side story i need to see him naked
