bokutotiddies's manga / #sad(44)

yknow, i went into this knowing it would be sad, and i really enjoyed it a lot, but for some reason i'm not sad. i think its bc he died while fulfilling his dreams and they were able to have a proper goodbye. its upsetting that he loved him, but he also chose to adventure in the world even while knowing that he wouldnt be with his lover, so that was a decision he made. ofc no one expects that theyll die, but i think it was a less painful ending than if he had died after falling off the roof. still, this is so good for smth thats only 3 chapters. i enjoyed it! 8/10

okay. i loved this. im feeling so many SO MANY emotions rn for all the characters and im just mostly upset that its over. god. i dont know. im most perplexed on how to feel about yul. i understand that he was definitely fucked up and he was insane to go to the lengths he did. even in their relationship he was overly possessive and literally provoked a guy into harassing her knowing that she had severe issues with men. thats AWFUL and i know that. but i cant help but feel so fucking bad for him. his home life was abusive and refused to nurture him and he was bullied for no reason bc of his face. i can understand wanting to keep safe and being possessive of the frist person that was kind to you. mostly im just so glad he didnt die. its been a little while since ive cried so hard over a fictional character, but yul really made me sob. i just pity him so much. hes also so beautiful but terrifying at the same time i spent far too long staring at the panels of just him, even when he was yuri (especially her fits, they were sooo cute). i think it says something abt how great of a character he is that i loved him so much despite everything he did (maybe the fact that he looks exactly my type also has a role in that yikes). i really wanted him to have a happier ending. it was left pretty ambiguous but i suppose knowing that he was able to move on is enough. i swear its always the characters i care most about that are given ambiguous endings. i really liked yujin a lot, even from the beginning. he was adorable once he fell in love w her and after the timeskip but i loved the brief banter we got from them in the beginning too. i was able to root for him and sian even while lowkey rooting for yul bc of how great yujin was. sian made me a little angry at times but i did like her character development after the timeskip. and i think given everything she went thru she has the right to be a little weird. the art is gorgeous of course and im really happy that i was able to read the majority of it on lezhin. i enjoyed this sooo much i started worrying about it ending from like chapter 20 loool. i was also surprised that this wasnt a BL tbh i went into this thinking it was. i was also expecting smut, which HONESTLY wouldve been the only thing to make this story better. overall, 9.5/10 i really enjoyed it a lot and i wanna reread 100%.

hi okay imma be honest this was one of the best bls ive read and the fact that it was so short is CRIMINAL but the way it had such an impact on me with such little content is incredible. this was so fucking great, from the characters to the plot to the structure of their relationship to the art style to the underlying message shared. im in love. ugh, i love kyousuke so much and i relate so much with the mentality of not knowing whether something is "right or wrong" and being too afraid to pursue anything that seems wrong. but hes also everything i want to be, from his self-assuredness and motivation and work drive. hes inspirational but pitiful at the same time. i cried reading this. i only ever cry for long ass works that have time to play w my emotions but this did it for me within the 5th chapter. i loved this so much. i want to read the rest of the authors works if theyre even half this good. ugh. so fucking good. 10/10 literally. the only issue is that its so short. i could read 50 chapters about them and not grow tired. cant wait to reread.

halfway point - yo. the author of this story is so fucking mean. literally i just know that she lives to hurt reader's fucking feelings. i genuinely cannot keep reading this is hurting me. i have way too many fucking emotions and i hate everyone except for seth even tho i already fucking know hes the only one whos gonna get hurt in the end. this is bullshit. fuck sam bro. fuck him so much. i dont even feel anything towards him im not even interested in him whatsoever. his scenes w henry are so frustrating and make me angry ugh. he only likes being "needed" by henry its not actual love. he also put him thru so much that its ridiculous to expect him to still only have feelings for him after all this time. i think seth is kinda stupid for even getting involved in all of this mess KNOWING that henry isnt emotionally available and is still heavily confused abt his first love and persisting even after being rejected. this is so frustrating to read idk man i hate how this makes me feel but i guess i asked for angst and thats what i fucking got LOOOOL. chapter 50 - ive accepted defeat. whatever. i just hope sam redeems himself enough that i dont completely hate him. they better give seth a cute ass mans who actually DESERVES his love and sufficiently provides the same amount back. last chapter - im exhausted lol. i hated this entire experience. can say with absolute certainty that i would never ever even dream of rereading this. i hated it. it was a good story i guess and perhaps even maybe realistic in some sense but i hated it. we didnt even get to see seth move on in the epilogue. tho i desperately wished he would stop appearing only to get his heart broken. ugh what the fuck. i cried so hard. this was bullshit. they werent even a good pair (probably the most realistic part) and til the end they had such terrible chemistry. i havent liked sam since like the 5th chapter. i still despise him now. idk man i wanna sleep this story off it was so annoying. there were SO many points that i almost quit but i held it together in the hopes that seth would somehow find happiness. i couldnt have been more wrong lol.

this is one of the first mangas that i read on this site, so its one that ive been staying updated with for some time now, over the past year. it was really good throughout and im really glad there was a happy ending for them both. i was anxious that it would take a dark twist at any moment but it all worked out so yay. i just wish rize didnt call him brother when they were fucking yknow? LOL. like even when theyre alone, why keep up the act sldfjsd. but then again i dont think her perception of him as her "brother" is necessarily a familial one, just someone who is a constant presence of comfort and love for her. so its awks for the reader but thats just how she was raised i guess. anyways this was great. 9/10

this was pretty good. i hated the bullying scenes so much, hyeongoh was so cute and kind that it hurt a lot to watch. im glad that the brothers were able to reunite but it sucks that we couldnt see more scenes of them actually getting along. also i feel like it wouldve been nice to see hyeongohs reaction whn he found out? namsoo being kinda mentally off made it difficult to get attached to his character and feel pity for him but like i liked him a lot regardless. i just want the best for hyeongoh hes such a cutiepie and i hope he lives a happy life from now on. seeing how in love their parents were hurt so much bc they wouldve been such a lovely family if it werent for that fucking bitch that killed them i hope shes rotting away somewhere. i love that all the bullies got exactly what they deserved. the art was so nice too. ngl like 45/60 chapters were boring like i understand the necessity for them but it only really got interesting towards the end. overall it was alright, 7/10.

im gonna choose to ignore 8.1s existence and i barely skimmed over it too so lets just assume that the events that took place when they were like in their 50s okay? its all good. anyways! this was a sad read. tbh after the first part i was kinda like meh abt them as a couple, maybe bc of how quickly they had gotten together? idk but i wasnt feeling it that much. but once some angst was added to the mix, i started to love tomohisa to absolute bits and kinda started hating hideo. he was so indecisive and kept trying to use tomohisa's "happiness" as an excuse not to sort out his own issues. it pissed me off and honestly i wouldve been cool w tomohisa ending up w his doc bff instead. but i am glad they worked it out together and pulled thru. its a huge decision to drop your entire life and move to a foreign country like that, so it shows his commitment and im happy that tomohisa was able to live happily until the end. it wasnt necessarily a relatable problem, since they both really loved e/o even thruout their break but it still hurt. agh. i still dont really like hideo tho tbfh. he just rubbed me the wrong way. he doesnt deserve tomohisa at all. whatever tho. 8/10

so i only added this bc i wanted to read abt a melanin king and i was mad disappointed when i realized that he wouldnt even be in the endgame couple at the end. also it seems mand racist that the one brown character is like the worst human in this series. smh they shouldve switched his character w the puppy boy character. anyways this was kinda sad. jihyun was a horrible friend and person to chiwoo even before assaulting (and raping?) him so that was depressing to read but i still felt bad for him sorta. not much tho. i also started it planning only to read like one or two chaps but it really drew me in! i couldnt drop it after i reached like 10 chaps so yeah! it was pretty good!
