This is so real and beautiful that it made me emotional. I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish it because of the art style but I felt like I would be missing out if I was not able to read it. Masato was like Aoi’s great love that ended tragically, it was really sad. Their love story was giving me the vibe from the song "The One That Got Away," and it was painful. I’m glad Aoi found happiness in Shouta’s arms and is slowly healing from his traumatic experience. Shouta’s love and patience for Aoi were unmatched, that part when Aoi finally remembered and accepted that Masato and him really loved each other was quite painful to see, he’s holding Aoi but Aoi’s saying he loved Masato. The phone call part with Aoi’s father also made me cry, it’s so touching and beautiful. You really should never judge a story based on its art style, such a good read.
