This is actually one of the few yaoi mangas that actually pushes me to tears. I'm usually indifferent to a lot of suffering in the manga. I do feel for the hurt but may be it's because I've read so much of it that I've gotten used to the cliches and story arcs that I can tell that it's going to be alright (most of the time anyway).
The struggle here feels unique and I've never quite felt so uncertain about what's going to happen. I've conned myself to believe that it's going to be alright, but I'm also fearing the handful of manga that didn't turn out so well for 1 of the party.
I hope everything goes well for these two QQ
A lot of people here seem to focus on the sibling thing (which is honestly weird).
But I always come back to this fic sometimes just to read the part where Souske had suicidal thoughts. The guilt of being alive, wanting to die, but being unable to because there are people I care about and depend on me, that would miss me. Its a difficult existence.
This is just another yaoi fic with an average story and characters. But the disdain Souske has for himself and the guilt of being alive is something that I always resonated with.
Its painful being alive (❀╹◡╹)
