Blubeagle's manga / #drama(173)

This is one of my favorite Harada works. Bittersweet and melancholy right to the end, their story is beautiful, but grey. I love this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Where to begin? Okay, let's just start with the fact that the kid (uke) DID say no quite a few times, and I can't stand the whole "You say no, but your body wants it" bullshit. When the whole health scare thing happened, I bawled my eyes out, only to discover THAT? Such bullshit. I have put off reading this because of initial red flags in my head, but I'm actually glad I did, because it actually represents being a teenager and messed up, well. It could have been worse, and I won't read it again, but it doesn't suck. It's just immature, like our protagonists.

I loved this. It is darkly beautiful. That poor boy's father should have been drawn and quartered. The fear in this boy was palpable and what impressed me most was how organic their affection became. I was glad to see the neighbor/caretaker /other person who loved him, understand that his role as caretaker had ended and he could move on with his own life.

Why is everything this author writes so damn depressing? When everything was said and done, I loved this. I am damn near convinced that at the end, our couples were all preggers, various shades of preggers. RIn got his happiness. And his man genuinely became a man who loved Rin. Despite everything, I love Rin the most.

What is the last card Lady Fate holds? I love the idea of digitalis/foxglove as a beautiful but deadly poisonous flower.

Gah, right in the feels!

Two snacks in one family?? Love this. Sweet story.

I can't be the only one who bawled all the way through! I love you, Maya! Everything this author writes makes me sob hard.

A great story.

Oh wow. This is darkly beautiful.
