Okay I've reread this a lot. I cried a lot also specially at the scne when Ren was crying saying sorry to Haruto for making him have sex with someone he doesn't love. I just broke down.
I mean I still like the open ended ending. I like that there was a gap of years for them to think about their feelings because obviously Haruto, despite havig relationships in those times, is still thinking about Ren. But I really wish the author made at least a short epilogue. I want to see how they'll be after all those years. Huhuhu.
Nevertheless, this is still a masterpeice.
Maybe the reason I really liked this is because I was just reminded of something. In the past I had the urge to help someone like Haruto did. The thought of wnating to save that person, no matter how presumptious it sounds, crossed my mind. In the end, Haruto provided Ren a place of safety. I did the same with a person in my past. He had a troubled past, had social anxieties and often has anxiety attacks in teh form of rage, people disliked him and labeled him as troublesome nd someone with "red flags" which is indeed true. Having those feelings, I probably did what haruto did. I did not cook for him since he was a better cook than I am but at least a place where he can feel safe I provided that for him. Time passed and he got better and got more friends and of course he drifted away from me. We have not met each other for a long time but i thought to myself, if I meet him someday, what will I feel?
Lol I digress. Forgive these ramblongs of mine. No one will read it anyway lol.
The difference is tha you didn't have sex with that vulnerable person. You helped him and gave him some tools to overcome his obstacles and develop a better reality. For me the story would have been better if they left the sex part until the very end after the young guy came back and ideally worked through his issues. As an almost 30 something man that was irresponsible and naive for the blond dude to behave like that. The dinners and conversations were good. The kid needed lots of therapy because of the trauma inflicted to him by that pedo and the mom's situation.
Awwwww at least Minki explained his feelings fully.
Me too!
I mean it could go on and on and his ex might return to the picture since their relationship is ambigous. So, I'm really glad he expounded how much he likes him and now I'm kinda confident that they're in love.
So.it would really suck if in the future we see him second guess his feelings again since his ex came back or.something.
I cried. ┗( T﹏T )┛
This is good. I like how their relationship developed. People are giving this flak because of the rape scene but I always felt that scene was foreshadowed when Mikado warned Misaki how dangerous that kind of lifestyle is. I mean it was shocking and sould have been executed better but it is not as unnecessary as people make it seem. It's just that he was taken advantage of when he was drunk.
I actually.like how the author portrayed how they fell in love. Misaki felt safe with Mikado despite having already slept with him once. I can sort of understand the effects of his experiences in past relationships on why he only knows how to show affection through sex. Over all, this is sweet and decent at best.
This is sooooo good. I really love this. Huhuhu. It broke my heart, it made smile, it made me feel anxious i hope they'll be okay in the end. I hope the side characters love stories gets a spotlight too!
