I read it! ♀
Wow. Thanks for reading it. Lol
It resonated with me ╥﹏╥
This manga resonated with me as well. :)
I meant your paragraph lol
The manga was great too
Oh my. Thank you. I'm so happy that somehing I wrote resonated with someone. (=・ω・=)
You're welcome (≧∀≦)
The difference is tha you didn't have sex with that vulnerable person. You helped him and gave him some tools to overcome his obstacles and develop a better reality. For me the story would have been better if they left the sex part until the very end after the young guy came back and ideally worked through his issues. As an almost 30 something man that was irresponsible and naive for the blond dude to behave like that. The dinners and conversations were good. The kid needed lots of therapy because of the trauma inflicted to him by that pedo and the mom's situation.
Okay I've reread this a lot. I cried a lot also specially at the scne when Ren was crying saying sorry to Haruto for making him have sex with someone he doesn't love. I just broke down.
I mean I still like the open ended ending. I like that there was a gap of years for them to think about their feelings because obviously Haruto, despite havig relationships in those times, is still thinking about Ren. But I really wish the author made at least a short epilogue. I want to see how they'll be after all those years. Huhuhu.
Nevertheless, this is still a masterpeice.
Maybe the reason I really liked this is because I was just reminded of something. In the past I had the urge to help someone like Haruto did. The thought of wnating to save that person, no matter how presumptious it sounds, crossed my mind. In the end, Haruto provided Ren a place of safety. I did the same with a person in my past. He had a troubled past, had social anxieties and often has anxiety attacks in teh form of rage, people disliked him and labeled him as troublesome nd someone with "red flags" which is indeed true. Having those feelings, I probably did what haruto did. I did not cook for him since he was a better cook than I am but at least a place where he can feel safe I provided that for him. Time passed and he got better and got more friends and of course he drifted away from me. We have not met each other for a long time but i thought to myself, if I meet him someday, what will I feel?
Lol I digress. Forgive these ramblongs of mine. No one will read it anyway lol.
