I want to read this again so I can properly process everything. The characters are not the most lovable but are complex and I wanted to learn so much more about them. We don't fully get to know why they are the way they are. We never really got to know Miki outside of how he was with Tatsumi when they're having sex. We don't get to know more about Ryouma and why he slept with Tatsumi and wanted to keep him away from Miki. We can speculate but it's not clear. Tatsui was on another plane. Where was all that pent up anger coming from? What kind of headspace was he in when he was ready to commit a crime? Even when Miki was trying to get him to change his mind, he seemed so focused on becoming a criminal. That ending was a total mindfuck. We as the reader have to interpret a lot of what happened because the author doesn't come out and directly tell us but I think that's the beauty of it all. This is one of those stories that I will remember and will be thinking of for a long time.
