I've read Gravity Eyes in my early days as a fujoshi.
To be honest I tought it was cute, nothing else.
Reread today, and maybe because I'm older, fell in love.
There's something about healing your lovers wounds that really speaks to me.
And yes, the seme was sometimes a jerk, but I get where he's coming from.
I know what it's like to close your heart. And it takes someone special to push you forward.
Basically, this time I loved it!
I fell in love with this story ages ago and I have a HUGE sentiment towards it so I like to come back from time to time to re-read it. This manga actually brings me this "peaceful" feeling each time. I simply love this story, those characters and how they help each other overcome their "traumas" & "past". (▰˘◡˘▰)
Second time reading this one and I just love it! Uke is cute, but not in a girly way which I think it's great! He's straightforward about his feelings and how much he loves sex. That's a breath of fresh hair.
Because it's slow paced we can see the seme falling in love bit by bit. They are just so endearing. And the last few pages were so cute that my heart skipped a beat!
Um that's probably because very few people would like to say they enjoy rape. Now that's cliched.
At first I really liked Sensei and I wanted them to end up together. But let's be real here... A relationship between a 15 year old student and her teacher is just weird. And somehow Sensei really started to piss me off. I mean, he kept saying he didn't love her, but he was always around and even hugged and almost kissed her. That was really cruel of him, in my opinion, he knew he was messing with her feelings.
On the other hand we have sweet Mamura. He was honest about his feelings, he was kind and never gave up on her. All he wanted was to make her happy. I just love him! That's why I'm really glad Suzume chose Mamura. They're so cute together!
Even so, I was bit sad because of Sensei. I'm glad he also found someone.
This is just the most beautiful manga I have ever read.
Amazing plot, gorgeous art, very well done character development.
It starts off really cute but turns realistic very quickly.
I felt like my heart was being squashed.
And then it ends in the most beautiful way possible. That's when I finally broke down in tears. My first time crying because of a manga.
How painful it must be to lose the one you love. But what a privilege to have spent a lifetime with the one you love. Isn't that what we all want?
And yes, their break up was painful to read. But I don't blame the seme. Sometimes, even if you love one another, things don't work out. In this case, Akira was only a flawed human who got scared...
Sorry, I didn't mean to write this much but I needed to get this off my chest.
