Ethingan's manga / #sad(3)

The yaoi universe is full of bastard semes but this one must be one of the cruelest. What I do like however is that it's never portrayed as okay and the Kyung-soo never really forgives it. Yule also comes to realise his wrongdoings and regrets it. Arguably he could have grovelled for forgiveness more but at least he tries. Had it been one of those stories where the uke just suddenly forgives everything, the seme never changes, apologises or regrets what he's done I would have given it a one star rating for sure and trashed it to death, but because of the attempted redemption it crawled up to a 4. I think Kyung-soo said once that Yule will never be happy. Maybe I'm a vengeful bitch but that somehow soothes some of the pain felt for Kyung-soo. I'm still very sad for Kyung-soo though, I just wish he could be happy. Good points for the story are that it's definitely memorable and emotional and the art is also great.

Incredibly sad and quite horrible at times but also heartwarming. Some characters you just love (main characters, good cop, grandma <3) and some you hate with burning passion (bad cop, K, rapist). Honestly it was kinda sad throughout the story and the end was even more tragic, but then the last chapter was balm to my soul. Generally great storytelling although there were some important unanswered questions left at the end. I liked the raw and realistic feel to the story. Interesting and unusual with a tragic, cute and dependent top with the bottom as a sort of caretaker/"saviour".
