I’m crying my eyes out because of the side story. Even though I would consider it somewhat bitter sweet, I like how the author put a more realistic twist to the ending. Even though they can’t show their relationship to the world, they’ve spent almost half their lives in love with each other, and that won’t ever change.
This was such a beautiful and complex story and I love how our characters aren’t your typical archetypes. Usually shounenai stories are too slow paced for me, but I think this story wasn’t like that at all. Both of them have been through so much Seeing the growth of both characters and how they worked hard to improve themselves but also for each other so that they could protect each other as adults felt realistic, and made the story all the more believable.
