some 2cents no one asked for
even without the bl tag, its still without a doubt a queer horror story that just involves queer characters (yoshiki, since its pretty much undeniable that he did love hikaru that way)
its just that shounen ai/bl is clearly not what the story's main focus here, its the horror and the tragedy. Think of it like banana fish, its technically not bl, it just involves a queer romance and characters !
anw story is nonetheless still very engaging i doubt anything would have any drastic changes on the plot w the bl tag removed ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
well,,i kind of expected an ending like this to happen anyway, for xiao's case he needed more time to heal from his last relationship which he considered a big part of his life, in a way i guess you could consider that love because he knew that he didnt want to hurt mr mo whos only been good to him and mr mo knew well to not take advantage of such a situation, bc thats how much he loves him
anw i actually do need some side stories or a time skip of them two lol
guys why dont we all just kill ourselves
