Mimi's manga / #BL(768)

No, but, like... Why was I bored but at the same time came out of this book wanting an official physical English translation? The story was just ok and the characters were just ok, but it like there were a lot of "just for the plot" moments that didn't feel natural to me. Mainly just the reasoning for them meeting again. It felt forced when he told him he's a photographer and invited him to his exhibition. That could've been done better, something along the lines of them meeting again after he left the hospital and then he invited him. I also didn't feel any cemetery between them and everything revolving around them being together gave off this "because it's a romance story" kind of feel. Like, it felt like I was reading cardboard. And yet... I want to own this book. I like the way chapters 6 and 7 went. I thought it was really cute so hopefully we'll see an English translation so I can buy it twice.

I'm so 50/50 leaning on "let down" with this one. I want to come back and update this with a few more thoughts, though.
