pinkstarred's manga / #Art(3)

Quite sweet, but not linear. So it's a bunch of moments of them with no connecting thread. Can be confusing. Unique art. Love the ring scene! (⌒▽⌒)

One of my favorite mangakas. Love the art style and composition. It's easy to read and moves the story. The first story is a gradual friendship into love about musicians. The second one about the dolls/androids was quite heartbreaking at parts in a really beautiful original story. That's what I love about this author, the stories are original and refreshing and the stark sketchy art really helps tell the stories.

Bonded by physical disabilities two third year boys become friends slowly building trust. Soon wounds continue to appear on Ishida, and eventually its revealed to be his mother beating him. Continually showing care and support and waiting until Kenji is willing to share what's happening, Yu eventually convinces him that he will help. They begin to put a record of the continual abuse he suffers to put his mother away and get him to safety. Showing Ishida kindness he has never known they grow closer and become true friends. I love this endearing and caring story. Can I trust the roommate, not sure yet... Also, is this BL? I don't know think it is, but I hope it turns out that way. Well, that was it?? Really!? It was so sudden, I feel so caught off guard. All that character development and not much happened at all in season 2. It would have been a better ending I think in season one, it dint really add much to the overall story besides him removing his one eye. I man even then, sort a disappointed it was built up so well with rich characters but after saving Kenji nothing happened. Still I liked season one a lot and love the characters, a touching tale of friendship.
