Blubeagle's manga / #Tragedy(89)

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR ANOTHER MANGA (500-NEN NO ITONAMI) * (Please do not read this commentary unless you have already read that! ) Don't exactly know how I feel. On the one hand, it was a fascinating espionage story, which I totally dig, but while I think of words to describe the other hand, I am certain that the feels train may creep ever so slightly into my brain. For a story such as this, I found this good, but not as great of a piece as, say for example, 500-nen No Itonami, which I find phenomenal.

Okay, I think Shiki's story had the most realistic, sensible ending it could have had. It makes sense. You are comfortable with what you know, right? It's the only *sane* solution. Protection of self, protection and guard. Manager. Parent. Sexual health advocate. Psychologist and *physician * . I really love this story, thought-provoking, though it made me want to sob my eyes out. I also realize something else : Shiki owed him a certain debt of gratitude for taking him in and with the *disability*, it would be far worse than if he simply stayed. Just my two cents. :)

Wow, oh wow. No words.

Hah--In terms of being a well written story, I think this is great when perceived as a story of an unreliable narrator. I am not a fan of abuse tropes but something in this made my heart hurt for both characters. I can't see it as an exclusively one character narrative. I would like to know what the seme/abuser has been through to make him this loathsome .

Grim...so very very grim. Wow.

This was the first manga I fell in love with. It is difficult, demanding and heartbreaking. Highly recommended Couldn't stop crying throughout and at its conclusion, I was left shattered. You'll need a huge box of tissues and bleach for your mind and eyes.

Gut-wrenching. I didn't cry but I sure as hell felt the sorrow and pain.

Wow. This is so sad.

My god, this is beautiful.

Damn freaking onion cutting ninjas. Beautiful, beautiful story. This is really something beautiful. I treasure this.
