but i'm kinda still all about big bro's white-haired-dude sidekick. he doesn't fake-kill-puppies and shit.
mature, honest, respectful, so loving and real. there are many different ways to fall in love, and here was a practical approach. they were very sweet.
the sparrows are SOO cute. i've owned birds all my life, so i was just melting the whole time
absolutely loved. my heart broke for nishiguchi when he thought his feelings weren't returned. ugh. i really hope kimura treasures him and tries to be more demonstrative with his love, because nishiguchi really gives it his all. loved both stories. would totally read more of both couples.
it all wrapped up so perfectly. i looove that they all get to be together. they really are a family. <3 fluffiest ending ever <3 it's so feel-good, i don't know what to do with myself! (and in my head, i'm imagining ichimaru gets the last apt too) XD
i love everything about this manga. LOVE. i wish wish wish we could read more on the blossoming of this relationship. their personalities are so different, it would be sooo great to see them learn and grow together. *siiiigh* the art style has such an honest charm too. *^_^*
why you running away, boy?? >_< c'monnn li huan is so sweet and sincere! we can double date: you and li huan, and me & daddy li huan. HA!
i want to say i loved it, cuz i really do enjoy this mangaka's writing/works, but i somehow felt unsatisfied. i guess i feel like takahiko doesn't really deserve aoi. i don't feel he's shown he's worthy, that he's grown, that he's even suffered enough. the least we could have gotten was a scene where takahiko expresses (with words and actions) that he is genuinely sorry for taking aoi for granted all his life. or maybe it would have been good if aoi went to live with the lieutenant (just as housemates), and takahiko could've had more of a taste of jealousy, longing, and uncertainty. i mean aoi went for YEARS thinking he was dead, years watching as he fooled around all night (with women or not), and yet ALWAYS welcoming him back, playing the "forgiving/understanding wife" who patiently waits for her man & accepts all his behaviours. that just didn't sit well with me. he should have demanded more.
see, THAT'S how to avoid any misunderstandings: just be as straightforward and blunt as possible. what a brave, earnest guy. SOOO many other yaoi boys could learn from him. it would save us all from chapters of suffering and heartbreak <3
