Here is the thing: I don't mind characters having short comings. It makes them more interesting to read about. Flawed characters are more interesting than perfect ones BUT, if they fuck something up due to their own insecurities—I wanna see some redemption and comeuppance on THEIR side. I wanna see them approach the person they misjudged and apologize to them before moving on. I hate when the person they hurt has to be the one to approach and fix things up.
The ONLY short coming of this manga is the fact that Taiga had to be the one to fix everything by the end. He had to chase Kei this entire time but even then by the end he also had to be the one to fix all the mess regarding Kei's insecurities and trust issues.
I usually like all of Serizawa Tomo's work. This one just seemed to have a lot of issues regarding the characters and story telling. The one sided effort and pinning was also quite unfulfilling to witness.

Memento Mori is the only story here with an open ending. I would have liked a closure but I guess that isn't really possible to do with just two chapters in your hand. The teacher is clearly still distraught by his lover's death and he only slept with the MC to momentarily ease his pain.
I love that Mikhail was the bottom in Waltz of Awakening. I fucking loved how he just devoured Takagi during sex in his embrace lmao.

I am really confused. Who was that guy Woojoo was hallucinating about? And what was all that about dating? Isn't his relationship with Yi-hyun his actually first relationship ever? That dream sequence was so confusing.
I would have loved to see the first crush come back into the picture to further clarify that Woojoo has completely moved on from him to Yi-hyun. This was an over all okayish read. Better than a lot of junk out there. The characters are much more fresh and didn't feel too sameish to BL tropes.
I love the fact that Yi-hyun cares so much about Woojoo's well being. He doesn't go bare back until Woojoo insists on it. He stops even when Woojoo insists on continuing when he thinks Woojoo is exhausted (usually lol). It's so refreshing to see a top who isn't constantly horny and can think with his head.

Literally so tired of tops having no self-respect even after being treated like shit by bottoms. Like boy, has SOME self-respect for yourself. If Minjae was the top acting like that, I just know he woulda have gotten way more flack for his behavior. I wish BL dynamics wouldn't be so uneven. One always has to be an asshole and the other a complete doormat.
Minjae literally rapes Taeyong, treats him like shit just like your typical asshole top and there are barely any comments calling him out lol.
Grim is so fucking pretttyyy. I love him so much. All that pregnancy talk and we don't even get to see Grim pregnant. What's that point? Masachika was going to town on him alright. I am surprised Grim isn't pregnant yet.
I like how the sequel focused on them as a couple and how much they rely on each other. They are absolutely whipped for each other and I love how they are very open about it that everyone and their mother knows they are whipped for each other LMAO. Masachika is such a needy partner and I love seeing Grim cuddling him.
The art style upgrade is absolutely gorgeous. Their hair, body and the shading looks way better than the prequel. Grim specifically looks far more gorgeous.
