honestly, this has been one of the cutest and nicest short bl i’ve read in a while!! just 2 men who love each other and care for each other so much it literally filled my heart with so much warmth.
Also when Taiga asked Aki to go to his birthplace with him and said that same sex couples could marry i started crying so hard bc he basically asked him to marry him well that’s how i interpreted it..anyways 10/10 fr
y’all the way i almost lost my mind bc i thought it was the END had me all scared and stuff anyways..
when Trevor started crying after seeing the drawing his lil brother drew of the whole family i began sobbing..istg this mangaka just has a way of writing and drawing scenes that really bring out your emotions. Also, i rly hope we found out what happened to Gene soon bc i’m trying to ignore the possibility of him being dead...AND i hope this manga gets licensed in english bc i do want to buy physical copies.
idk if there are strips missing but at a bunch of parts i was kinda like “hmm?? did i miss something?” and felt very confused but let me just say that i loveeee the art!! the grainy effect is something i like and even use when editing pictures or whatnot so seeing the soft and very mellow colors with a tinge of grain in the art is calming.
ok..so i started reading this around june of last year and i was very intrigued and in love with the art style that i couldn’t wait till the next updates yet here i am now months later SOBBING!! it was such a wild ride.
ch 4 was very heart wrenching to read. the terror i could feel from Arima filled my heart with so much sadness and i was absolutely disgusted by that man. idk how they let him on parole and HOW he found Arima at that play but i hope he rots.
ch 6 was also a bit disturbing to read that i practically skimmed through when Arima was replaying what happened to him onto Taiga when he was raped. I couldn’t stomach it. I know Arima was hurting but what he did was wrong though i am glad he apologized to Taiga. Also, THE DAD!!! i had a feeling it was going to be Taiga’s dad and it was nice to see his pov.
In the end, this manga was very heart wrenching but also so uplifting because these two were able to be each other’s strength. They both found someone that could give them courage to pick themselves back up and better themselves. it was wonderful to see and i was so glad bc sometimes you just need that one person who could change everything.
(gosh there was so much i wanted to say this is embarrassing)
sucks that blue exorcist will be on hiatus till next year but it’s cus Kato picked up another project called Eizen karukaya Kaitan by Fuyumi Ohno. Kinda excited to see what that manga is all about.
