Camellia
dark, tragedy Setsu is a 2nd year middle schooler who always has bruises on his face. Hyou is his brother who constantly works part-time jobs. They live together after running away fron their abusive dad. ◆ Discontinued. I'm so sad because it was actually really interesting to see that Hyou was convincing himself that [abusing him] was all for Setsu's sake and Setsu being horribly dependent on his brother because of the abuse. It's a lot more complex than it seems. I've read Minami Kiriko's message about this work in particular, and I understand her feelings and agree SPOILERS 5&6: Setsu has been relying on Aki when Hyou was in the hospital, so when the latter gets dismissed, he gets really angry at Setsu for depending on someone else. Hyou, upon the realization that he's become like his father because he wants to kill Setsu, goes off to murder him and then commits suicide. Setsu is left with Aki
