tsukineko's manga / #Tragedy(128)

Not yaoi, but there's a little bromance, apparently.

I really hope that this'll eventually be completed! I would love to see the 1st couple happy together in paradise, as some of the panels seemed to suggest. I also hope that the 'key' from the 2nd 'couple' will get the hell away from that bastard, and will find some way to prevent that awful fate from being passed down to further generations! I really like the desriptions and questions regarding music and love. It's beautifully poetic and philosophical. It only really scratches the surface, though, but then I neither expect nor require depth from a manga. In case this gets updated some day, I've read the first 3 chapters.

Apparently, this is barely even shounen ai, but it's supposedly excellent anyway.

The plot premises were relatively original, but somehow the stories just felt flat. Probably because the pacing was off - As is often the case with oneshots, the pace was too fast, and there was no room for character development. As I was reading the first story, I was thinking of rating this manga only 1 star, but after reading all of the stories, I'll rate it 3 stars. There's another manga, 'Kinpeibei Kinden Honoo no Kuchizuke', which is a sequel of the last - and best - story in this manga, so I do want to read it. I'm trusting that it'll be better, as it's longer.
