PLEASE I was already crying because it was so sweet and beautiful but they decided to wreck me with that ending they're both so beautiful. How can something so short make me so damn emotional
Every damn chapter got me crying, seriously, I can't with emotional lonely shit like this it hits too hard.
So beautiful :( the revelation that Haku was the one to break his other half is so damn sad. And when Izuki thought "why? Why are you smiling like that? Like you've already given up on everything?" But also, when Haku tied his shoe and Izuki looked for him and Haku felt like "oh wow, there's someone who will call my name" that HURT! The perpetually lonely person struggle of feeling like no one will notice if you're gone... This author does a FANTASTIC job of bringing together two characters that are suffering in their own ways and connecting them and does an even better job of making me sob
PLEASE this is SO beautiful. I got stressed so much because AHH religious plots always hit so close to home for me. But this was just such a beautiful story. The art, the setting, the characters, everything. It genuinely felt so warm. Listening to Red River Valley while reading the part where it was playing made me tear up!!! "We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile, for they say you are taking the sunshine that has brightened our path for awhile" is SO??? Like, Theo is so like the sunshine. It really is sad that he can't see his family again :( I especially feel bad for Chloe :(
I loved everything about this. Enough angst to make me tear up but more beauty than anything to leave me feeling warm and happy. I love Oz and Theo, they're just so lovely I'm so happy for them

Spoiler:
One thing I'm a little confused on is Danny. He's a very interesting character, cause I can't tell what type of love he has for Theo. I know he just doesn't want to lose someone again after Gene, but also him promising Theo that he'd marry Chloe so that Theo wouldn't leave feels more like he loves Theo more than Chloe? And the whole thing with him kissing Oz... What, he's wondering why both Gene and Theo would be with men? Or what? It didn't feel like it didn't fit or it didn't make sense, but it just made me curious to know more.
This is SO GOOD!!! It's exactly what I love in that it's a super interesting and compelling storyline AND it happens to be a gay romance. I loved the characters (Gunwoo and Jian the goats fr) so, so much. Hyeon is such a fun character cause the man is clinically insane but yet still so loving? Even when he doesn't think he is. I loved his character arc and I loved the showing of his intentions. Yiseon is so good, I absolutely can sympathize with the poor guy, he's honestly stronger than me having to see his best friends go out like that and still somehow carrying on.
Again, this plotline is SO good. The way I thought his friends were undead bc of some virus but then come to find out it was because of literally the most traumatic shit possible?? Crazy.
I laughed, I cried, I kicked my feet and giggled. 10/10
idk what to do now this was my brief hyperfixation and now I'm back to spinning endlessly. It was so good. Obsessed.
Like, are you kidding? Sick fight scenes, cool art, good plot, gay, cool powers, great concept, main couple has no misunderstandings or bullshit that doesn't make sense. It's so well written UGH I LOVE IT
Like wtf dude the art and character design are so fire so I feel robbed cause this shit is unreadable. 12 year age gap is whatever, but being in love with him SINCE HE WAS A CHILD?????
I wrote a whole ass rant that got deleted bc I used a (barf) emoji, sigh
Anyways, this shit some of the most egregious pedophilia I've seen in a manga and that's saying something. I don't care if he didn't touch him until he was 18 I literally do not care, imagining a 6 year old when you're having sex is SO disgusting go to jail. I'll fucking lock the cell myself and eat the key.
Also all the Not Like Us references in the comments lmaoooo love, so fucking real.
Hiro and Jiheo are so sweet lmao I love how much of a softie Jiheo is and the fact that he just looks mean cause his eyesight sucks like someone get my man some glasses.
Anyways this was very cute even if it's a little silly it's just sweet. Also the way Hiro looked when he said "how could I hate someone so sweet?"
Character design is AMAZING like DAMN! I can't praise it enough, I'm obsessed.
Wakashio and Yakaze are so damn sweet :"( this made me CRY but I'm so happy they got such a beautiful happy ending. I think this balanced the traumatic shit and the main relationship well because it's one of those rare ones where it's not the main couple traumatizing each other and instead they're a source of comfort and solace which I love.
The extra chapter where it was from Yakaze's POV and how they met :(( so sweet. And how bright and shiny their eyes were AHH I love them!!
When Yakaze saw how brightly Wakashio smiles when he's not weighed down by his family :( OUCHIE.
This is a really, really beautiful story.
