otakulys's manga / #sad(233)

Aw, I actually found that kind of touching. Sad in a way, I guess, but someone leaving what was essentially a prison and the relief that comes with that. Maaaaaybe I shouldn't be reading these after a recent suicide attempt, but hey! Bad decisions are my jam! Actually, it makes me feel a little better about surviving somehow. I don't know, there's still more to do, even when things feel hopeless. When everything is calm, then you can finally cross. (Sharing way too much in the comments because it's anonymous and none of my loved ones can see it, woo!)

...Lol. I felt bad for the boy and was bummed because I knew it wouldn't ever get happy for him, but that ending was kind of funny. Shitty mom, though. She needs to get hit by a bus.

Aw, that made me cry! Noooo! I hope they get married someday.

Awwww! What a sweet story. Always a surprise when it comes to this author, haha. The language used to describe the deaf people was slightly problematic here and there, though I don't know if that's a cultural difference or general ignorance from the mangaka. In the states, it's offensive in deaf culture to refer to deaf people as disabled, for example. But either way, this was a sweet, heartwarming story that made me cry. I loved the main characters so much. And on the topic of the main pair, I can see why some people might view it as shounen ai or romantic, etc. Personally, regardless of their genders, they just seemed like really close, sibling-type friends to me. But I loved their dynamic and how much they supported each other. A very sweet, sad, and heartwarming story. <3

I mean, I knew what it was about and I still read it, so that's on me. Definitely made me cry. Poor girl. I get that the ending could go either way, with her actually being a ghost and her just being a hallucination. Maybe it's a mix of the two, that she's lingering even though her friend can't actually see her. Mostly based on the line about how happy she must be in heaven to have someone on Earth who loves her so much. Yeah... I guess that makes sense, so I suppose it does have that supernatural element, unless it's more of a metaphor. Either way.

That was... very odd. I guess it's open to interpretation, though I'm not really sure what the second chapter was meant to inspire. I mean, obviously there had been that longing from the time he was a child, but I don't really understand what it was meant to symbolize for him to go back later. I don't know, the first one certainly could be an allegory for suicide. Especially criticizing the person who's in the bed, kind of reflecting someone falling apart and falling into despair. There's more to read into, I guess, but it didn't grip me enough to make me want to extend the effort.

Ugggghhh, I'm sobbing. My head hurts and my eyes and nose are all puffy. This made me cry so hard. That poor baby. I knew it was going to go in that direction, but it still hurt. What a sweet boy, though. I hope they both get good lives next time. I don't know why I'm torturing myself right now, but it's like I can't stop reading these things.

Weird, but not as bad as I thought it would be based on some of the earlier elements. Sometimes I love this mangaka's art, and sometimes it's kinda meh. This one shifts back and forth, but it's kind of on the meh side. The plot could have been better. The ending is kind of weird and ambiguous. But at least they tried to include some intrigue. If it had been polished, I would have liked it more, but I'll give it a 3.5 for effort.

Very sad. Kind of awkward, but honestly, I didn't hate it. It made me cry a lot, partly because I cry easily but also just because of how I'm feeling lately. I feel like it could have been better, but you know, whatever. It was an interesting, if predictable, little read. Sad but at least in a way that kind of has hope.

Hm. That's an intriguing little story, definitely a sad concept, though. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a part of yourself like that. Identical twins literally start out as the same person in the womb. Well, person is a stretch, but they're just one egg. I wonder what that's like, especially for people who don't get along with their twin. Anyway, this is a sad little story, and although the girl he kissed that day is the one who died, it's still unclear who is who. She might be the original, but it doesn't really matter at that point. I can see why people might not like this one. I thought it was interesting, at any rate.
