This is honestly a masterpiece. The plot was very engrossing and I thought it was so interesting how the author explored LGBT themes in the backdrop of 1950s Japan without making everyone a stereotype or purely morally black and white.

I think my only, ONLY complaint is that Tetsuo is depicted in a "female body" on the cover of almost every book and chapter. It feels disrespectful to the character to have him so upset by his looks and his body, but constantly show him in a feminine light.

I also very much appreciated the ending. I'm so glad that it's not definitive, but their romance is hinted at in a way that seems just perfect for the two characters.

    Yeah, I also felt quite out of place with the overly sexualizing Tetsuo in the covers which was contrast on his manly development in the story
