mangasaeki's manga / #Roommates(10)

Honestly it's the same run-of-the-mill BL. Airhead, borderline dumb uke and awkward, emotional seme. The reconciliation wasn't where I was hoping it would go, but it is what it is.

Well, the events were super strange and kind of hard to follow, but funny nonetheless XD

This was a great drama. 100% shounen ai, but I'm glad that was the case given their age difference. The way their relationship built over time and the twists in the narrative were really well thought out and executed. Definitely a bit of a tear-jerker, but gentle as well. It was nice that both characters had tragedies of their own to work through, and go through the motions of acceptance. I'm glad that Kouki was able to find peace in the end considering that he allowed himself to suffer for as long as he did. I really liked how realistic the connection to society was, too. There was no majorly satisfying revenge, just the reality of moving on and coming to terms that even though one could have intense feelings of revenge, doesn't mean you should act upon them. Great read. I seriously enjoyed the story.
