YaoiHands's manga / #Bittersweet(7)

Kikyou

The realism is utterly stunning it’s sad because that’s how society is. The heartbreaking truth of parents not being able to accept their child’s sexuality and thus runining an otherwise good relationship. The ending was definitely bittersweet. A sadly wonderful different read compared to BL

So freakin cute and just feels with romantic angst. It did end very abruptly. I’m hoping that there is an extra or something, it is currently marked as completed though. I loved that the couple was basically a switch couple. Ashido’s feelings of being undeserving of genuine love from a guy who is loved by everyone was sooooo melancholy , I just wanted to give him a hug.

Cute af, ending was definitely bittersweet. Not a classic ending where the couple lives happily ever after, but also not a complete tragedy. Definite feels were happening during the 3 chapters

Asagao wa Yoru kara Saku

Didn’t bawl my eyes out, but the plot of death made tears form for sure. Super cute and bittersweet, I’m glad Hide moved on in the end, and his homosexuality and feelings for him were slightly explained at the end. I also enjoyed that the smut seen was very real in the sense that Hide was not there. Yuuie (can’t remember the spelling rn) kept noticing that there was no warmth or sensation, that made it all more real that Hide is in fact a ghost. Definitely a bittersweet manga.

I absolutely loved this!!! The plot was there and took me in for a spin with the parents. I felt like the relationship between her and her brother was a very tough challenge but was redeemed very well without it being ‘suddenly a good guy’ and THANK YOU FOR NOT SUDDENLY BEING A ROMANCE BECAUSE MC IS A PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENT. It’s sad that I would have to say that, but sometimes age gaps don’t mean jack in manga/manhwa

Bittersweet ending. Reminded me of Banana Fish but less dramatic, and a much better ending
