I don't know why but this dissapointed me... The pacing went really fast in chapter 4, and their love line exchanges are just cringy. I mean there are a lot yaoi mangas with cringy dialogues anyway.

You dc know that people can have sex just for pleasure and have no chemistry. It develops over time. It makes sense since Kira was getting over a break up and Fuji wasn't looking for anything. Geez, I hate when people bitch about the stupidest shit. And verbal abuse? Come on. That's their dynamic, now you're just forcing it. I mean really.

Like, all of your comments almost made me not read this, but now I can see that this all is just a bunch people not really knowing how defense mechanisms work or how people hide their emotions or close themselves off, even if they themselves don't even like who they've become. Clearly there was some self-resentment on Fuji's part. i'm not saying that you have to be a genius intellectual, but learn how the human mind and personalities work, especially when someone is trying to cope with something traumatic. Hello, did no one see that epiphany he had. He literally realized that he couldn't keep closing Kira off. Can you guys stop looking for problems when there are far worse issues in Yaoi than this. Jesus!

Oh God, I finished this. I remember when I first read this, Ye Ling really looked like my crush back then, as pale, tall, skeletal, and even has a mole (i think) like him. He was handsome like him, and thinking about the past (duh, things you do when you have a crush) make me fricking cringe! Coming back here to read this since it's completed and nostalgia, I just wanted to kill Ye Ling and wipe his face (oh god the embarassment) He also seemed like an asshole when he said his feelings were lies, and how he didn't know he hurt her wtf, and it was resolved to Kele not knowing his past and being insensitive. I'm kind of dissapointed, it started out good from what I remember then it was rushed, and that blue haired guy's feelings just came out of nowhere, and the part when Kele's mom said she's not her daughter. The translation was just urgh...

Good thing that the last novel for this one got bad reviews. Hopefully the manga and anime change route for that half-assed ending and Narsus and Alfreed won't die. No one will continue reading or watching the anime if that ending's in mind. (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸

I mean all of them died, including Arslan and Daryun. That musician boy (i forgot his name) live up to his 30s and died because of a disease and was depressed. Farangis died in her 50s. The only one who had a happy ending is Elam. And the countries surrounding Pars and Pars included lost all its monarchy becahse all royals are dead, except Sindhura, that king who always betrays Arslan's group when Arslan helped him become king *facepalm*. Anyways, it was said that vol. 8 to the last novel were just turning sh-t. It's like the author just wants to end his book by making everyone go to heaven and live there happily ever after *facepalm*. Seriously, you just don't send your main characs on to a journey and just kill them in the most stupidest way possible. Like this was all about war and stuff, and then it turned into some fantasy sh-t. I mean there were low fantasy elements but it just lost all of its color.

Just WOW ヾ(☆▽☆)
This manga is so well written and developed! Probably one of my favorites! Characters are well developed, and they're relatable. I could totally relate to Yuusa, and I'm totally envious of people like Himekawa who face anything head on and is not afraid of trying, despite him having a difficult past. I'm not an optimist but his way of thinking just inspires me to be like him! He reminds me of my friend who got bereft of her father in a young age, also showing signs of leukemia, but despite that she's still in her best shape. Himekawa's mother too has also great character development. Most bl mangas just tend to kill the mc's parents, if not then, they're just abusive, spiteful, pitiful, mentally ill, left out of the picture, or just doesn't give any care about their child who they found out was gay, despite taking care of them for years.
The romance too is well put out and paced, just so fluffy and cute! The manga has extras, it's just not scanlated or translated yet. If you want to see it, just search for it in the comments section.

This was beautiful. It was realistic and didn't romanticize rape. I don't like seeing blood but it's a nice story anyways. feel sorry for the poor uke's ass. I hope those rapists get killed (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸 . Also why did they have sex so soon, isn't that going to hurt? Why don't they go to the hospital, get it treated or something? Though I know that Maki wants to have sex with Shuu so badly, I guess Maki has this unconscious validation that if Shuu really loves him then he must have sex with him. So Shuu did it so that he won't be insecure anymore.
I've read the English Translation of No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai and it's freaking brilliant.
