Darkness Before The Dawn
11/23/22 TRAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL 10/10. i hope to remember this story for a long time. °based in the 1980s in hongkong in the kowloon district, Weijing Li runs a small pharmacy (and opioids on the side). The town itself is pretty sketchy, people either go there to hide or flee after committing a crime, going bankrupt or smuggling themselves in but none of that applies to Weijing bc he was born and raised in kowloon. ch1: friends with benefits with Liuwi? idk who he is yet (most likely a gangster) seems to get opioids from Ajing tho and leaves him a guy to take care of. ch10: oh shite, the guy in the basement is a cop!? undercover??? damnnn the plot is getting heavy i’m worried now. ch11: oh no just as i thought. Weijing is being forced to make those drugs and basically held at gunpoint whenever he refuses Liuwi. Liuwi has already shot him before when he said he didn’t want to make drugs anymore:( he also believed he “loved” liuwi but THATS NOT LOVE :( ch14: eheheh ch15: the mf cliffhanger noOOooo CHAPTER 73: so much has happened it’s been stressful reading each chapter omfg. tbh im not feeling so good about that cigarette lung cancer scene,,, it felt too much like foreshadowing and i cried they’ve been thru so much together and if weijing dies like that ….. damn life is so unfair ch75 the end: i am so hurt. i cried. i wasn’t ready. life is so cruel and i’m crying thinking about them again. that was too too sad omfg. i’m glad they at least met and had someone to lean and rely on in dark times. god this chapter hurt me so bad i’m cryingggg. like i know they’re fictional characters but the way this story was being told made it seem so real, made you root for them and hope the best for them… ugh i’m so sad. a year of uploading this story and its come to an end. 1/20/24 ch76 omfg i am crying happy tears now WHY WOULD CH75 DO THAT TO ME the subir knew what they were doing 2/1/24 LMFAOOO @MelonWarrior cool art style plus i’m diggin the story it’d be nice to see it as a physical copy

Smells Like Green Spirit
2/21/21 added 12/4/23 read I AM IN TEARS FOR KIRINO kirino was happy to have finally found someone like mishima in that small town. they were gonna go to shangri-la to meet other people just like themselves. now kirino has to live with a mask because he’s decided the way to live his is by seeing his mom smile. so he never gets to see shangri-la or meet other people like him and his friendship with mishima is now more, in fact they never see each other after graduating and i’m crying again and can’t see my screen. kirino gets married and has a child with another on the way. that summer on the rooftop was the happiest he’s ever been and i can’t stop thinking about how comfortable he was up there hanging with mishima. ugh that’s so sad poot kirino. yumeno tho kinda makes up for the tears, he stays by mishima’s side and they both live in tokyo together. yumeno finally understands his feelings and understands his true self and accepts it. adding this comment here because it makes me feel better : when I first read this, I didn't fully understand about kirino's situation. I thought that kirino is not truly happy with his life, but when I reread this, I realized that it's not the case. I remember he said about something, like those people who are hiding something—their eyes are like so dark,lonely?empty, and that's the case when they are young (+ the teacher). but then at the end, it showed purposely in the panel—looking up, his eyes full of life, not like before and I thought to myself that he is happy. there's nothing he's hiding anymore. and he got two kids (one is incoming) plus his parents were back together. I'm assuming that when the mother fainted, the father made some realizations, then settled. Overall, I am very happy about kirino's life rn, it was confirmed in his eyes—it's like this is him, it's the life he chose and is happy. kirino's version of "this is 'mishima futoshi', this is 'me'" like mishima. Also, dragonflies symbolizes happiness, courage, and strength in Japan literature. Bittersweet for sure. Very realistic portrayal of different people coming to terms with being gay and how they choose to fit into society. The whole point is none of them chose wrong, they picked their own paths to happiness but even that isn’t guaranteed because it never is. Life is a struggle for most people but especially marginalized groups who are viewed differently I cried a lot Its such a bittersweet story about feelings and choices. I feel the worst for kirino He made his choice in the end to have a family but having not fulfilled all of his desires. At the end, the eyes of Mishima have changed, they are shining. Kirino's eyes have not, but he has not become like the sensei. Even so, he has this mask, even with the daughter. It is difficult. He did not made the wrong or right choice. Of course, his happiness should come first. But for him, that happiness lies in his mother's smile. It is not healthy, that is true. But people are not simple, right? The one he loves... Props to Tarou also. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. But he decided to break through and study his feelings and his peers feelings. someone else : This hit me really hard. There is so much to unpack in just a few chapters. I'm over here crying my eyes out. Ohh my heart is breaking thinking about Kirino. I just wanted everyone to find their happiness and live their authentic self but life is sometimes bittersweet. - I Just wished everyone got a happy ending. You know, an ending picture with Kirino and Mishima with their partners. That Ideal BL manga story, but this is so similar to real life, and it just completely broke my fragile heart
