To be honest the extras ruined it. This was such a captivating and disturbingly fascinating story at first, but then it kinda just drifted off into nothing. Didn't grow anymore in the way I hoped it would. It's not a bad manga, its still really good, it just ended with too many questions and expectations left unanswered

I liked this a lot! I understand this might not be to everyone's tastes, it's fairly hard-hitting overall, but honestly I feel this really highlights the painful hardships that relationships go through - especially gay relationships. People can be insecure and irrational, letting things get messy and out of hand... and most of all, it's so easy to hurt the ones we love if you know the right words to hit with. No one's perfect, it's a human thing to do.
What I love about this manga is the morbid sense of humour each character has to desperately hide their emotions. I feel like everyone tries their best to appear more understanding than they want to be, when all they really want to do is give in to their selfishness and throw tantrums. Especially when it comes to love. It's bittersweet, and so relateable.
I've been in Imagase's shoes before and it does not feel good - loving too much in a doomed 'casual' relationship and erratically throwing our loved ones through a loop with our mood swings, totally plagued by the question; 'how much love is enough to satisfy me?'. I'm happy it worked out for him. Even if the ending doesn't promise good things in the future, because it's just like a real relationship. As addictive and beautiful love makes us feel, oh my god the fear and the uncertainty... it's the most difficult thing.
This was a one-of-a-kind yaoi, What a rollercoaster! Definitely not the kind to get emotionally invested in, for sure. But I liked its brutal honesty and the incoherent pacing that breaks through the usual yaoi tropes. While it's not a perfect read, there's tons of aspects worth its praise!

This is more than introversion. There is something that probably caused this, or something that developed over time. As a child he was open and had friends, but he has gotten to this point.
Introversion is getting exhausted in crowded places, being shy, and finding peace at home. Introversion does not cause crippling anxiety and extreme seclusion. If you think that you are an introvert, and you have bad anxiety in crowds or getting to know people then it’s probably more than introversion.
Social anxiety can be debilitating. In this character’s case, it has caused so much havoc in his life that he considered going to the hospital. He cries when barely making any contract and I bet just saying “hi” he’d think he’d cry. This is something that needs professional help, and time to get over.
Sometimes, the brightest and most outgoing people can become this way. There are numerous factors, sometimes it is biological. Most of the time it’s constant wearing down of the person.
Anxiety is a horrible thing, it can completely change a person. But it is something that can be eased with time and proper help.
