tsukineko's manga / #adoption(3)

Gross! Should come with a shota tag really. Even though he doesn't actually touch him until he's legal, he's still wanted to since he [the uke] was a small kid and he [the seme] was already an adult. He [the seme] was gorgeous, though, despite being a pedo. Edit: I just reread this because I didn't see that I'd already read it, and now I'm quite surprised to read this review of mine and to see how much I've changed since the first time reading the manga. In rl it would be gross, weird and wrong, but I'm starting to find this kind of thing sweet when it's in yaoi!! I'm changing the rating from 2 stars to 3.

Yuuki's summary: "This story is beautifully executed and perfectly paced. Visuals of a starry night sky guide the reader through the present, to the past, and to the future. What is genuine in this work is compassion. No matter the age or circumstances of a person, their feelings are painfully articulate, whether in words or otherwise. A confession by an elementary student, the feeling of loss in an adult when they derail from following their dream, all these things paint a picture of the precious mundane." Sounds good, but probably quite slow paced, plus it's only shounen ai. I mainly want to read because of the connection with the stars. After this, read the sequel 'Yoake ni Furu'.

Read this after 'Yozora no Sumikko de'.
