Well that was dramatic as hell, but fun nonetheless. I'm glad that the uke realized that his choice was not only futile but dumb, lol. Cute, yet sad read.

One Room Angel

Complete | Harada | 2019 released

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.
