3.5 stars. That was beautiful, and quite poetic in parts. It would've been great if they'd 'sealed the deal' with something more than a kiss, though. (Well I knew that I'd be frustrated as soon as I saw the 'shounen ai' tag, and still chose to read it anyway, so that's my fault I guess.)

3.5 stars. I love the way the poetry was interwoven through this, as well as the nature metaphors. (The Japanese and Chinese are particularly good at this.) It should have a shota tag, but, tbh, that would mean that I would never have read it, and I'm kind of glad that I did, (even though it made me cry and feel sick).

Sensei, would you please give me back my heart? Oh wait you can't, because you just ripped it out and stomped on it, then put it in a blender, you know, just to make sure it was well and truly pulverised! Seriously though, that made me cry way too much. It's the first time I've rated a one shot 5 stars! It was beautifully and poetically done, both the art and the writing. It should most definitely have a tragedy tag, though. What's also kind of tragic, is that such a talented doujinsha has no other manga on this site. Have they published any other dj or original works at all? I would be happy to buy them.

It's a manhwa, but read it left to right. Looks kinda emo lol: melodramatic/dark/angsty/poetic.
