淳's manga / #student x student(145)

Seme keeps dating ppl that look and act like his fictional love, Hotaru. Uke falls for him and changes his look to become Hotaru for him, until he can't anymore.

I actually really loved this story. Seno's background story of why he was held back a year made me cry though. It seemed like there was very little to no empathy or sympathy for him, who was violated. And neither the school nor the students helped. Sadly, it's all too realistic. I really loved how the puppy seme's character tried to literally erase/sooth his burn scars away by making it into a new symbol, the little flipper, that meant something to both of them. I would give this 5 stars except for the gross note at the end by the mangaka who wrote how excited they became while writing/drawing Seno being violated.
