the story's great and all and so are with the characters but the black hair dude's introspection felt contrary to his feelings towards the other guy. his feelings for him was all over the place resulting as if it was sort of bromance esque sort of vibe. yeah he's simple minded but with the very long chapters that we were given, going to his inner thought felt very lacking and useless since it was already established on the first place. and what gets me the most is it was unnecessarily long. some chapters felt like they were a filler contributing nothing to the overall plot. the story could have been finished with just the first volume and it was great but the author decided to stretch it out so it went downhill and it became predictable.
Ahh ok, I understand your thinking.
I would definitely not say it was badly written, since it's one of my top favourite BLs, but I agree it did give a bromance vibe, apart from the kiss/confession scenes.
And ya it was stretched out but I kinda liked that, it didn't focus ONLY on their relationship and also added details about their individual lives, and how their relationship impacted each other's decisions and viewpoints on things
But to each their own! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
my god, this manga is badly written.
