Sometimes a masterpiece gives you a different feeling when you read. As your eyes scan through the beautiful artwork, what really makes it beautiful and meaningful to us is that it hits our hearts and the words resonate inside us. I just thought that this story, the characters, are so beautiful in their imperfections, all of them seem to find what they are missing and what they need from one another. In loneliness, the other provides company and in deprivation of warmth and kindness, the other person pours out kindness and they complete one another. I think it's so beautiful.
This is why slice of life yaoi mangas really hit me hard, and I love how this actually could be something that happens in real life.These characters could be actual people. I do have hope for the ending, though, despite the sad title and there is angst and confusion coming, but that's how relationships and people persevere...through experiencing hardships. ^^ Two thumbs up for touching my heart and looking forward to reading moree~ ヾ(☆▽☆)
I'm not a fan of BDSM either, and it really broke my heart to see someone hurting someone so much even if they love pain...I felt very uncomfortable, but later on I thought the story was so beautifully written that it didn't bother me. It was like how even though I didn't feel the gratification of S&M, I felt so many more emotions reading the work and it moves me so much. Please, please, please everyone do whatever you can to support the artist! This is such a beautiful work and if we want it to continue we have to do our best to support the artist! ^__^ *going to buy coins right after posting this and buy the chapters*
Of course this is just my opinion, but this is why I think dark yaoi is not my cup of tea. In the end, it's like happiness but masked and twisted so much that it angers you how people and emotions are being manipulated selfishly. This is a toxic relationship . Mine is a victim and while he seems satisfied he is being manipulated and taken advantage of, toyed with to satisfy both Hiroi and Takes twisted desires :/
