Beachloves's manga / #Childhood Friends(147)

Totes adorbs yo!

An interesting and complicated story about grief, coming of age, and personhood. The setting is fantastic, and the characters are interesting. Really enjoyed it! ***Spoiler thoughts*** I really enjoyed this story a lot. If I could have anything different it would have to do with some of the interpersonal relationship choices that were made by the author. I felt that it was very compelling that Nagisa felt such tremendous guilt over Minato's death. But then it's revealed that he was not even present during Minato's death or any time close to it, he saw him hours beforehand. I felt that for his guilt to be so great that he should have been with Minato closer to the time of his death. It is revealed that both Nagisa and Kaito "liked" Minato at the same time but then at the end Nagisa's character backtracks and says that he actually always only liked Kaito which was kinda confusing... We are told that both of them liked Minato but we never hear from Kaito explicitly that he was in love with Minato and he seems to only miss him as a friend, so it's not clear what their relationship was. At the very end, we get to go to Minato's room and look through his old things and discover that the whole time he had a girlfriend. So Minato did not like either of them! To be honest I feel that was kind of a cop-out. And lastly (this is really NOT important) the "H" scenes were kind of awkwardly drawn and the dialogue was a bit unnatural. But aside from these things I really enjoyed this read.

OMG I should have read the tags more closely. **TRAGEDY** Fuck I got emotionally sideswiped with this one Jesus. But yeah it's immaculate.

11 07,2021 An intense historical drama that follows two people over the course of 15 years who have been separated and reunited several times but have always been in love with one another. Heartrending and intimate.

I usually hate love triangles but this one is really good,***semi-spoiler*** I wish we got to see them actually go all the way but we don't which sucks cause it would have been cute. But the emotions and dialogue were great and this is very well written overall.

Meh

Why are so many of the Haikyuu Doujinshi so freaking good?!
