True, it is toxic because it's different from all the ideal relationship, but.... It's realistic, the ideal relationship is not always happen. We might fight to understand each other, but we never truly understand everything, because everyone is not the same. That's why it's my favorite manga. Not too ugly to be a crime but definitely not a fairy tale one hopes :0
I love how while other yaoi manga here tackle their own love conflicts, here's Sweet Heart Trigger making us see realistic scenarios and in complex, elaborated ways too. It's like it's forcing us to make us see the truth of relationships, in any form it may be, that it's indeed bitter and sometimes there are cases that put us in difficult and uncomfortable situations. While other stories could discuss such situations and resolve it through least realistic methods, here's this manga that brings us back to real life, telling us that HERE, LOOK HERE, THIS IS WHAT HUMANS ACTUALLY FEEL, YOU KNOW.
Alex? He thinks he owns the world. He has superiority complex.
Cole? He overthinks and always has crazy thoughts. He is "odd" as he mentions himself to be.
Alex and Cole - they both are disturbing but unfortunately, they represent the ugly sides of all of us people, making them completely relatable. It's the reason why we feel disturbed or triggered, since as humans, we always want to escape from seeing this truth that reveals our true ugly nature and prefer to believe that everything will work out and humans can be good and beautiful as often portrayed in fiction.
