can someone, anyone, tell me why this manga makes me feel so sad and so lonely? Like I understand, but I don't. why do I feel like crying? why do I feel so so so sad? Like my heart was clenching so hard the entire time, n I could hear my own heart beats so clearly, and it was so painful. I never read all the chapters.... I don't understand why?
Omygosh! We have the same experience from the first time I read it! I also don't understand why, but I enjoyed the ride cause I love the angst. Maybe we felt lonely and anxious because the progress is slow and it's because of the atmosphere of the manga being portrayed idk. But that's what makes it incredible!! So glad I wasn't the only one. I literally binged that manga for 6 hours. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
This manga feels so realistic, a true and enjoyable slice of life. We can really believe in the deep link that Yamato and Yuiji have. It seems very special to reach that level of understanding of each other. So you might be feeling lonely because you miss a link with someone else, as deep and natural as the one portrayed here. I personaly have only one person like that in my life, to whom I can tell absolutely everything. (Which is already very lucky!)
Yet Yamato is pretty unhappy most of the time, so this might be why you also feel sad.
Btw, if you want to read about a link between two people which feels absolute, limitless (to be jealous of), I would advise the fantasy novels of Robin Hobb (starting with The Assassin's Apprentice). In the manga realm, it does not get better than this!
everything aside, I would do anything to live in that kind of apartment environment, irl that'd be impossible tho I guess
