i’m saving a full review later on when this is finished, which hopefully isn’t soon because i’d love to keep seeing their story unfold even after they grow up, but the one thing i want to note and praise is the way the artist managed to convey the harsh reality of being queer in an asian environment so perfectly. i know it’s because the artist is also asian so they’re aware of what happens or what people’s reactions are towards the lgbt community, but as a queer asian living in an asian environment with conservative values, i cannot describe how much i love and enjoy this story. i could relate to almost everything these two boys went through, so these stories felt a little personal and a little too close to home. my favorite part has got to the the ghostly figures being drawn to represent them, and the homophobic dialogue being rocks thrown at them.
this got very long, but i just love this story so much. i rarely ever make reviews or leave comments in this site, so you can tell how much this story means to me and how much i love it. it’s one of my all time favorites, i come back to reread this every once in a while.
