ALisAnimeLover's manga / #tragedy(36)

This was great. Honestly, I almost dropped this at the first chapter because of cringe and bad pacing. Still, I read through, and I don't regret my decision to not drop reading it. It had bad pacing at some parts (particularly the beginning and end), but nevertheless a great story.

TW: pedophilia, sexual abuse, child pornography, trauma (note: not by the MC to the ML or vice-versa, but by a third character) Hngggh, child porn syndicates and pedophiles should all die and go to hell. Like right now. This is a beautifully realistic portrayal of someone going through a traumatic experience of watching a friend get abducted and go through hell. The only thing stopping me from giving it a 5* is the ending, on how easily the victim just ran away from the perpetrator when the MC remembered him.

For best experience, try to read about shintoism . Here's my interpretation of the story: (Note that I just started reading about Shintoism after this manga, so I'm not sure if I interpreted it correctly (or maybe there's no "correct" interpretation because after all, this isn't really confirmed as Shintoism)) . In Shintoism, a shrine is where the god resides and it stores a sacred object representing the god. While the shrine is usually a building, it could pretty much be anything (a rock, a tree, a mountain), as long as it's important to the god. . In this case, the sacred object is the gemstone. And what happened is that the MC became the shrine of the god by keeping the stone, so his friend is now residing in him (or with him). The friend became his personal god instead of a god to bless everyone and be worshipped by everyone.

:(((

If I were a tree, I'd do it :(((

Spain without the S

Not my cup of tea 1. It feels like Yuya (I forgot his actual name lol) is designed to be taller than his age because the author is aware it's shotacon, so making him taller removes the shotacon "vibes" 2. Yuya and Ryou looks too similar ngl, I get confused a lot of times 3. I don't feel the romantic development at all? Granted, I dropped this in the middle, so I probably skipped a lot of the development. But Kento showing feelings for Yuya feels out of nowhere. Guess Masato was right when he asked if Kento is a lolicon Even Hayato and Yuya falling in love with Ryou/Kento feels like a puberty thing, hahaha. Not like I'm dismissing their feelings, but it's just... there as a plot device.

idk if it's just me, but I feel like some chapters are missing panels or some chapters are missing... I loooove the 3 children though. I wanna see more of their dynamics after growing up. Plus, what'll happen to the phoenix and his mate?

I feel bad for them, but I feel worse for Jakurai
