There are two types of reviews of this manga: those who hate it and those who love it. Honestly, I feel in the middle. While I cried while reading the manga, I'm conflicted about it.

-I'm glad the author made the pedophile guy a selfish scumbag. While Jun was mourning his dead friend, the guy somehow made it about himself. He didn't even bother to console Jun; all he thinks about is his dick. I'm glad Jun realized that.

-To be honest, I didn't like Miura much, unlike the fujoshi in 'Here U Are.' She didn't realize her mistake, and she didn't get any character development. She still ships her friends and thinks of them as subjects of her fantasy instead of human beings. I wish she would stop comparing real gay people with her BLs. I know the author is a gay man, but come on man.

-I disagree with the translators. What that guy ended up doing was fucking horrible. Yes, what Jun said to him was shitty, but it doesn't justify him outing Jun and bringing up that he is gay every time he shows up, bullying him for being gay. That was disgusting.

-I liked Jun and Mr. Fahrenheit. It sucks that we didn't see him alive. My problem with LGBTQ+ mangas is that they always make the MC boring. Jun was different. I love his crude moments, and his inner monologues are sometimes funny. I also liked his interaction with Mr. Fahrenheit.

-While I hate pedophilia and stuff, I'm not going to pretend age gaps don't happen in the queer community. It's hard to find someone your age who is queer in a conservative country, so you have to consider people older than you. It sucks that some creeps take advantage of that, so I don't fully blame the author for touching on this subject.

-I pretty much relate to Jun with his queer experience, self-hate, and wondering why we are here, lol. So yeah, this manga made my depression even worse.
