Portrait (natsume Kazuki)
Snow Fairy
WOW. jesus christ that was beautfiul. idk if it was the translation or the original writing but god damn it was beautiful. the way the two of them were literally made for each other is gorgeous. and i love how aki knew that he couldn't "cure" his truama and didn't want to but he could understand is feelings and i think thats what true love and support is. they are the cutest things ever and i want them to be happy forever.

honestly i truly loved this manga bc it was nust so beautiful in many ways. i think it rly did embody what it wanted to show with photographs and just people in general. that you can see things on the surface level or just barely read into things and make a basic assumption but if you look more attentively or try to understand something, you’ll find something deeper and meaningful. there are always things happening or there can be meanings behind things even in places you can’t see. their friendship turned relationship was so subtle and i really like their dynamic. they are both such awkward people in different ways and you can just feel how drawn they are to each other. they make you feel a sense of nostalgia and how it feels making friends for the first time (if not something more). they just click and you can see their ability to be comfortable by each others side but also aware of the distance closing between them IDK IF THET MAKES SENSE. but this manga feels like an ocean wave and is very calming 10/10
