Koe No Katachi
Cried so much I had to stop because I couldn't see the pages. An incredible story that completely destroys you, heart wrenching and so engaging you won't want to put it down until you see how it ends. There are some really detestable characters that I just can't forgive or understand, but for the most part it takes you into the head of the bad guy and you see inside them what drove their actions and how they think and how they change and overcome. It's painful and hopeful and ends much like real life with so many possibilities. It truely touched me and although I've gotten used to the concrete formulaic endings, I appreciate the vague ambiguity of the future.

It starts at the end and goes back to the beginning. Kei seems to be in love with his brother...and fills that void with anyone. And even got mixed up with his stepfather in an attempt as a cry for help or impassioned plea for Roku to notice him... but he loses his nerve. He still finds him in a compromising position and Kei already on edge...can't bare Roku's reaction/rejection... We are left on the roof as Kei and Roku exchange their last words. I'm not sure if it has more chapters or was ended abruptly bc we know what happens next. But there are so many loose ties...
