Having said that, I personally enjoyed it. I likee the both of them and the story. Would I have wanted more lovely or hot stuff? Hell yess. But that wasn't what the atory was about so I don't complain
You are 100% right. But to anyone complaining, you get a pretty good idea where it is and isn't heading fairly early on in the story. I enjoyed every second of it. Beautiful art, satisfying development, a subtle love.
Well said.
thank YOU. this site's littered with entitled complainers
Well, I saw all the bad comments but gave it a try either way and here's my opinion.
I've been a yaoist for thirteen years now (I'm feeling old right now), so I've read a lot in quantity and quality and whatever shit you might think... but if I can tell you sth is that reading the genre tags will help you to avoid surprises and that is not the author's fault that you put your selfish expectations on it. If it says "shounen ai" you can't complain because it was too mild for you or because it didn't happen anything. Σ( ￣□￣||)
Is it a romantic story? yes. Is there any sex? No. Have it got a plot? Yes. Love is the main part of it? No. Is about a psycho? No, it's not a psychological or a horror story so you won't get a development on the boy getting mad. It's a story about a boy who always felt pressured to be a good child and needs a way to catalyse all the nothing inside him by having someone who could understand that he is not that mask; and another boy who is seen as a bad boy but no one really cared enough to figure out if that was right or if he was, why? The day and the circumstancies they met each other for the first time are a turning point for both of them and the way they interact with the world arround themselves. It's kind of a slice of life. And in that you get a glimpse of what they start to mean for the other one.
... but like in every slice of life it ends in a moment of their lives just like that. So you won't have an impressive end or a hot sex scene or a wedding or a moving together. Because the main plot of the story is not their feelings but what is like to grow up and what helps you keep being yourself.
So you
