Beachloves's manga / #Nightclub(1)

A story of a relationship forming from a mutual attraction and friendship. Such a lovely read! *Spoiler thoughts* 8/12/21 Update This is easily the 4th or 5th time I have come back to read this beautiful story, so I think it deserves a few more words with my thoughts. There is something about the way Saya's character is portrayed that feels so vulnerable and real that you can't look away. When Saya gets his hopes up we can feel it. When Saya is seduced and then has his body is initially rejected by Yuusuke, the pain is so immediate and raw. We as the audience are eviscerated by the intensity of his despair and self-loathing. On the other hand, Yuusuke is a unique perspective as a narrator. Unlike other main characters that are have a straight to gay situation. He doesn't agonize over his attraction to Saya. Yuusuke doesn't try to deny his feelings, he acts on his desires the moment he has them. But it is due to this lack of consideration that he dives in sort of half-assing it, and ends up devastating Saya in the process. We then get the pleasure of watching him learn from his mistakes and work to earn Saya's love back. Truly a special story that I will re-read and love for many years to come.
