BRILLIANT. The first story plays with/references Tomoi http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/tomoi/ and its prequel-- AIDS, war, loss. The tone gets lighter from there... Slowly. After some murder and betrayal. There's even some fluff. I'm just blown away, frankly. These are subtle, clever, raw stories, with hard endings. Not romance. Not smut. Smart and with a broad spectrum of the feels.
