I never cried so hard so many times during a manga. This was fantastic. I was in shock when Iba first saw Hibiki dead, I was in tears when Araki died and choked when Ryuuji took Araki's last name.
And only after his death did his Father realise how much he actually loved him and is probably now full of extreme regret for being so rutheless towards him. it always happens. People only genuinely care when you're dead and gone. no matter how much they say they hated you, abused you or wanted you dead. once youre gone, its too late and only then they realise their stupidity.
Funny how regret is like that. We make up all kinds of excuses and justifications for or neglect and/or cowardice until it is too late. I learned this lesson many years ago. Someone I loved deeply died before I could say so many things I wanted to. Well, it was more like I didn't realize I had left so many things unsaid until it was too late. So, now, I don't hesitate to tell anyone anything. If I think it, I say it. If I am proud of my son, I tell him. If I am angry at my husband, I explain my feelings and we work things out right away. If I am thinking, "I love you and appreciate you so much.", I say it right at that very moment. I will still probably have regrets, but it will be fewer now. Tomorrow is an unknown. You have to make today count.
id like to think he committed suicide and theyre together again in the after life.
In the actual movie, I think he does (=・ω・=) I watched it a few years ago
Yeah, I think that's what he did.
Ok so in the end they both got addicted to drugs and fucked their life up. I loveee fucked up mangas, but wth. I hope they dont OD together
You're one of the few who only want the best for them. Actually, from those who say this is a fucked up story because of the pedophilia, and those who see this as an amazing story with real life problems, is about 50/50. Maybe 60/40, but I'm not sure which way swings more.
Anyway, just wanted to like your comment. I wish there was a continuance... Everyone loves a tragedy with an optimistic ending.
one of the best mangas ive read so far.
