Mimi's manga / #BL(768)

Vol 1 - 2.5/5: Man, I hate when BL authors forget that there are other letters in LGBT than just L and G. I have nothing to say about this absolute mid-ass story. This volume one was fine. Maybe less than fine but nothing that actually pissed me off (yet). That being said, it's still a 4.5 out of 10 because I was promised sad and it's giving me pathetic. Vol 2 - 2/5: Volume 2 really set me off, huh. I am so annoyed by everyone in this damn book. For starters; Kanade and Mashiro are grown ass men acting like dumb ass 11th graders going out for the first time with the added layer of them being closeted. On one hand, could’ve been adorable. They kind of picked up where they sort of left off but this time they’re actually dating. But on the hand we got, it was just annoying conflict after conflict with no attempts to communicate to each other and I fucking hated it. I think what annoyed me the most about how they acted as adults was because when we got flashbacks of them in high school all their actions and behaviors made sense because they were teenagers. It's really cute and it fits. Like, them at the cafe place almost made me cry. These same behaviors that they're still showing now that they're dating as adults are not cute. It's annoying. It's not cute to see Kanade blame himself for telling Mashiro to stop because he was being forceful and scary. It's not cute to see Mashiro push away his mother, who's been mentally ill and in need of help for years, as well as not communicating on anything. Speaking of Mashiro’s mother, I don't really like the way she's written. Not specifically her but the role the author wanted her to play. She's written as "the villain", an obstacle between Kanade and Mashiro when really this lady is mentally unwell and has been needing professional help for years. Her husband passed, she became super dependent and attached to her son, her romantic relationships have been very messy and unhealthy which makes her more attached and dependent on Misharo. The grandmother is the only person with any sense but still no one tried to get her any help? I'm very annoyed with how the sorry has treated her so far the most.
