Great show of similarities between characters, and even though I never felt like their VIBES were similar, I got the idea, even though they could have pushed it a little more and probably should have. The mirror was a nice symbol. The story unfolded simply, but not predictably, with the two main characters being not unlikeable, with actual personalities, though they may be cliche. All in all, wasn't exciting, but it was enjoyable and smooth, without dodgy shit going on. Should have also dug the nails in a little when talking about their romance, because that would have felt more satisfying, but sure, it was a nice, pretty short mange. I just came back to edit this on a random day of doing homework for Lativia (04/12/2020, not there yet) but I just rememered I probably didn't mention this, but the subtle yet beautiful ending was very endearing. I was just dissapointed they didn't go deep enough in it and left me high and dry. (More like wet and frustrated, but whatever XDXD Jkjk. btw) also, looking back, I liked the subtleness of the whole thing and I probably don't appreciate how much information is cominicated in a lot of the yaoi mangas I read about the YP. Like, this YP had a whole family life and small arch back home, too. It was just all shown very wuickly, becuase it didn't NEED to do more as a manga. All in all, very pleasant, despite being so mild.
