I'm asexual and Tamaki really doesn't read as one to me. While I appreciate the inclusion of "wanting a relationship that doesn't involve sex", from my perspective this boy is deeply traumatized from being around the abusive partners of his mother. Whether he discovers he can fall in love with Shii or not, the author keeps presenting Tamaki's trauma to us without doing anything to bring the characters forward.

If they're going to have a relationship it has to be based in consent. That's part of the reason why Tamaki can't have sex in the first goddamn place, because he respects when his partner says "no" and is confused why that's the wrong thing to do.

    Some people in the comments thought he is. As an asexual myself, I agree with OP here. His reaction towards sex definitely stems from trauma.

I'm not really into people being possessive of their partners, so I'm glad Kana stood up for himself.

I think it's so important that Jade introduced the idea of Sooha having a miscarriage and being ok with what happened, as miscarriages in early stage pregnancy are very common and not very commonly talked about.

That being said, I do also appreciate how Sooha and Taesoo had a discussion about their future as a couple and how they intend to proceed if Sooha ever does get pregnant again, and I think them having a mature discussion about it is very inspiring! It's a good way to end the story, in a sweet and hopeful way.

    While the topic of abortion did come up, Sooha had a miscarriage. The scene where she's in the bathroom is implied to be her passing the fetus, which is something that can happen in early stage pregnancy.

Considering how expertly the artist manages to navigate violent and disturbing subject matter without being explicite, these pages with Shin were really tough to look at.

This is honestly a masterpiece. The plot was very engrossing and I thought it was so interesting how the author explored LGBT themes in the backdrop of 1950s Japan without making everyone a stereotype or purely morally black and white.

I think my only, ONLY complaint is that Tetsuo is depicted in a "female body" on the cover of almost every book and chapter. It feels disrespectful to the character to have him so upset by his looks and his body, but constantly show him in a feminine light.

I also very much appreciated the ending. I'm so glad that it's not definitive, but their romance is hinted at in a way that seems just perfect for the two characters.

    Yeah, I also felt quite out of place with the overly sexualizing Tetsuo in the covers which was contrast on his manly development in the story
