Something else. When I first clicked on this manga I thought it was gonna be all smuts and shits (because of the cover and the premise/sypnosis/description), and they live happily ever after after like 20 chapters, but for the author to give the characters actual character? For the plot to be an actual plot?
To be completely honest, I'm not in love with this book, but I am hooked and I think it will stay that way till the end (hopefully).
The way the characters grew? The way they matured? The way they realized things? You don't see that everyday.
The author managed to pull something that not a lot of authors are able to do, and that's fiction imitating life, where the characters doesn't grow overnight, but instead in a period of time, which is realistic and slaps you back to reality. The characters also took their time realizing their feelings but you know, when they did it made sense, and there's an actual reason that they're in love— although if you want you can also regard Umehiko's feelings for Theo as Stockholm syndrome, but for me, I don't think that's the case and it's evident on Umehiko's thoughts on going home, but I'm not a psychologist so don't quote me on that— They're just— god, I hope the ending doesn't get fucked up because I'll bawl. This is going so good.
so to rate this:
Story: 4/5 (the amount of sex scenes got me in a turmoil)
Art: 5/5 (I'm a bit biased with this one cause I like the art style a lot)
Characters: 5/5
