I can't explain how good the atmosphere and setting of the manga is. Just... sucks you in completely. Not a small feet at all. I think Manaka-san out-did herself. Interesting with comic relief, I have seen a lot. But staying interesting while staying true to your sad and angsty original plot is something else entirely. Her characters are very nicely fleshed out too. As a person who loves character-centric stories, this my personal drug.
Same every character is so complex and realistic but still the emotions you get from them is so addictive ngl and it's so interesting to think how their character is gonna evolve and how their romance is gonna unfold. Andddd do you have any other recommendations like this one??? Honestly anything that focuses on character or personality while still remaining interesting is appreciated??? Thankssss(〃゚3゚〃)
I think those Manga/Manhwa are already the popular ones... I don't think I know any that focuses so much on a character like this though. Usually, the plot is also intense. Some of my favourites would be:
Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai
At the End of the Road
Dark Heaven
Most of the other stories are pretty good but not really character-focused. These also explore darker themes and have great atmosphere. Beware of the trigger warnings.
Some light-hearted ones would be (Short too)
Moon and Sun(Abe Akane) (it's a sequel to another story, i liked the sequel better)
Mou Ichido, Nando Demo
Neon Sign Amber
Sign is good too. Just, smut focused. (not short)
Guys guys guys! You guys NEED to check out the OST from the movie... it is sooo good. Hear it while reading the manga if u want to. I just recently came across it and damn. Too good!

Summary of things these idiots did wrong:
DG ended up falling for Alex nd wasn't upfront about it. Feelings that he had bolted up finally exploded.
Alex doesn't understand the meaning of bed buddies. Just because they aren't romantically involved doesn't mean he gets to treat DH like ish! People shud respect nd care for others who are in a relationship with them. It doesn't matter which sort of relationship it is.
I get that they are intentionally flawed, but it keeps getting harder to keep my cool while reading this
*spoiler alert?*
Anything wihout consent is wrong. So technically, there was rape here. And the reader should understand that. There shudn't be any confusion or justification in the comment section. Anybody who is confused, read the first line of this comment over and over until its printed in ur brain. If you didn't know it b4, now u do! Nothing wrong with learning new things! That being said, this is a Manhwa. There are definitely disclaimers present that ppl hav skipped over. Readers who are not comfortable with reading this should stopreading. There are readers who have enjoyed reading this and shouldn't be called out for it. Its like calling out S-M couples for being immoral or something. Seriously, let people be! A Funjoushi should atleast understand THAT! Aren't we also discriminated against? Any readers who is here to spread awareness can, Should! Stop spreading hate though, no excuse for that!

The mom got hers. For that, instead of trying to end her pain, she... She passed it on to her son- a-and He willingly took it *bawling my eyes out* i think the thing that stung me the most is... He will never get to meet Mishima now. Mishima, his friend. Mishima, the only person in this world who has an idea of his identity, his pain, his whole being. And...a-and he willingly decided to do that. So that he doesn't turn into their sensei. So that his paradox box can never be opened again. So that he never wavers. He chose that! He bloody chose that for himself *crying because of the unfairness*
All for his mother's happiness
*Deep breaths*
I think the thing that the manga potrayed very successfully is that in reality, the line is always blurred. The line between good and bad. The line between right and wrong. Nothing is absolutely right. And nothing is absolutely wrong. Never in my life have i ever tried to justify the offender, EVER. Specially if it is a rape scene- i am extremely sensitive to that topic (i am sensitive to bullying too, but definitely more sensitive to rape) but during the rape scene, for the first time in my life, i was at a loss for words. I couldn't see right and wrong. Could not see what was justifiable and what wasn't. All i could do was cry. Cry. And cry some more. There was no line in between. No rulebook. Nothing i could refer to for judging that scene, for blaming, for justifying. Who gets to decide who is will be 'accepted' in this world and who won't. Who decides who gets to be consoled for being defied by the society and who doesn't. Who decides whats right and whats wrong when all the crimes seems to be both justifiable and unforgivable. And for life of me, who can tell me when i will stop crying about how sad this is. Its been a whole day and even now, when i remember this manga, my heart feels so empty and broken
Eh? But according to what I see, you DID put a few spaces before typing out the spoiler. I had to click the Expand button in order to see what you wrote.
okay, kurayami knight, you're off the hook with me. I like you lots. Just one thing, the human eye is much quicker than we think, right? Your eye read the spoiler before your brains and your fingers can catch up. Interesting creatures that we are, right? Anyway, thank you for your good nature and for being a good sport. much much appreciated.
probably that right there your words are the wisest words I read here ..so thank you no one indeed gets to decide who belongs in this world also you 're right the rape scene portrayed how distorted and pitiful the offender is, so albeit being sth completely unforgivable and utterly insufferable that idea of attacking a child no matter what reasons may linger that will never be settled I still appreciated those pitful distorting feelings of man locked away by disgust of what he is and what he desire and the portraying of the reasons that led him to where he is that being said although reasons do and always exists but never excuses that's why I guess it's exactly as u said ''when all the crimes seem to be both justifiable and unforgivable.'' I 'll be using that hehe
When Kotaro remembered the forehead kiss during the phone smex, i think he remembered about it since it persisted in his mind the most nd was bothered by it the most out of all the things Kyojo did. Bothered by it so much that it interrupted his train of thoughts. Thats y wen Ayumi kissed him over phone, instead of kissing him at the same tym so that they wud be kissing mouth to mouth virtually, he placed the kiss on his forehead. To re-write the memory. Thats the conclusion i came to
On another note, i must say Kyuojo KNOWS whats he is doing. Doing confusing things so thay the other person thinks about u alot... Thats a really old n relaible trick to make people fall for u. I am Not saying that Kotaro will fall for it. Just giving Kyojo the credit he deserves. No wonder he is a famous author.
I love how in the extra Chinatsu's dark circles improved and his whole face in general just glows? Shows how relaxed and content he became in just a year
