when the part where it says "whatever happens, whatever you do, if someone promises to be on your side, how can your heart not be moved? how can you not want to give your heart? how... can you not love them?" i genuinely had to take a five minute pause just to take everything in... god was this overwhelmingly beautiful. i sobbed so hard, not from pain, but from... i don't know, ease? my heart was at ease. i just love this story so much. it's so well written and not to mention the gorgeous art; it's wholesome and heartwarming at the same time. it's like you're reading a poetry but just with visuals :') absolutely one of my best reads :)♡︎

i had to put this off back in february bc i know it would be too heavy for me at that time but i decided to read it today bc i wanna feel something lol.... and wow, did it not disappoint me.. this was such a beautiful story ! it's one of those mangas that will literally wrench your heart but also mend it later on, and it honestly had me sobbing sm.... this was like a coming of age story and i really liked how well-written this is. it talked about real-life situations and problems people go through and that it's okay to run away. it's okay to choose what you love and what you think is best for you. it's okay to not let other people's ideas and demands shape your life and instead, you can make and lead your own path in life. i specially loved the last part wherein it showed theo looking back at his younger self and coming into terms with the fact that it's time to let go of everything and start anew. overall, it was such a painful, mature, realistic, but also, heartfelt story :')

this is beyond BEAUTIFUL! i am honestly at loss for words— it literally had me catching my breath the whole story bc of how good this was? the plot is just so interesting and i haven't read anything like this yet (after years of reading) so i'm just in absolute awe! i really enjoyed this, they're such pretty boys and they really deserve each other :')
