it’s a very “my pace” type manga, where there isn’t any actual clear direction, just like life is. this manga is about life and that’s it. high schoolers figuring out lives and the troubles that come along with it. obviously i’m simplifying it a lot but that’s how i see it
i was overjoyed to see that taichi had chosen touma, even if we didn’t get to see touma at the end. people need to remember that this is a SHOUNEN manga, so even seeing anything remotely close to lgbtq+ is rare, even more so an ending where they actually end up together.
i do wish the author could have cleared more stuff up at the end, but it’s alright. i’m a little disappointed masumi did not end up with a girl, but i feel like her husband is implied to also be lgbtq+ (i personally think maybe ftm with how he was acting).
i’m glad futaba and the rest found their happiness. this manga is so beautiful and well told. i just can’t get over how taichi and touma really ended up together!!!
this is my sixth time rereading this probably. i love how the author incorporated so many different types of people and personalities, different struggles and viewpoints of others; it really feels a lot more real with how they dealt with the issues of being gay and what’s up with boys and girls and friendship.
art style was downright beautiful as well. especially the more “realistic” detailed drawings for more serious scenes, like that one of taichi’s side profile in toumas house? everyone was so amazing as a character even with all their flaws and insecurities.
i hope to see more manga from this author and more types of stories like these !!
god this manga never fails to make my heart sting
