Rae D.'s manga / #honorable mention(74)

So, this is something I reread because the first time I read it I didn’t write a review or rate it. I wasn’t doing rating back then, and I wasn’t even doing reviews either. This is actually one of the very first BLs I’ve ever read and it really stuck with me as a result. I stand by giving it the honorable mention tag I decided to give it back then. There are some cool things being done visually with the way the panels are cut in the idle and shifted to show the disconnection between characters and the way the MCs parents’ faces are “glitched out” when he has flashbacks about them. All those cool things added to the ambitious nature of this story when it comes to writing about things others don’t really want to write about because it won’t make for a very easily good story. The author did that. That being said, this wasn’t a very good story lol. I appreciate the thought, the execution was lacking however. I don’t mean this in a bad way. The author herself admits to all of her shortcomings when when it comes to both art and storytelling in her author’s notes, so I don’t need to do too much on her in terms of any of that. It was all just a really good try at a hard set of topics and some difficult characters. If I had one complaint worth writing about here, it would be that the ending was pretty rushed. (Granted, it I was writing a story like this and got to the point where the author had gotten too, I too would have probably been itching to wrap things up already lol). This gets a 9.2.

Ugh! This was good and just may have been a fav if the ending don’t feel so rushed :/ .....

cuuuuuuuuute (furry shit... but still) cuuuuuuuuuute!!! Big “uwu”-energy!!!

couple of cutie pies 9.3 objectively but for me personally a 9.35/even a 9.4?
