this is like, one of my fave mangas! It's so brutal bc literally one of the last things my father said to me is that people change for the negative all the time... not every change to myself will be good, I possibly won't be okay in the future, and there is no point in obsessing over how I'm not the person I was bc I'll never be that person again. Seriously I feel like I'm being stabbed everytime I read this series.. pls don't drop it T.T
I got a jolt when he told him to get HIV testing. It's so real. the same thing happened to my best friend when she had a rough and not fully consensual sexual encounter with a guy she was seeing. The three months to wait before you know are just harrowing. Man, he's a fictional character but I want to give him a hug and tell him it'll be okay
I think he's cutting his hair because his relationship with Chiaki's over
Oh yeah absolutely. Not to mention Chiaki "broke up" with him wayyy before he cut his hair. If that really is why he did it, that's pretty messed up, it's like a parody of someone actually squaring up post breakup. I just think maybe... idk? this is his way of saying he's done with Chiaki? Probably just wishful thinking on my part though.
This cover is so misleading, this is so beautiful.
