nini's manga / #Historical(23)

this was so good !! it had that melancholic vibe and i was on edge the whole time bc i really thought this will have a sad ending bad omfg it was so beautiful :')) i love how this author always makes their plot poetic and deep <33 you'll really feel the emotions of the characters >< i'm so happy for the couple bc they really fought for their relationship ㅠㅠ they had a lot of ups and downs, and it took quite a while for them to be together :'> i love how we got to see a glimpse of their past and their future, as well as an alternate ending (kind of) wherein we saw how it ended with them growing old together while the other was bittersweet since tachibana died first :< but it was still a pretty wholesome ending bc atleast we got to see how they lived together for a very long time and the extras were so domestic and adorable >< i also love matsumoto, he's such a caring, mature, and understanding friend (´ω`) he never forced his feelings for asakura, and he even helped him the best that he can to find tachibana :'(( he even volunteered to be tachibana's editor-in-chief :'> i just love how mature everyone is in this manga <33 there wasn't any annoying third party whatsoever and it also focused on the characters' development as well as the growth and acceptance of asakura's feelings ^^ i love how he never gave up and did all that he can just to find tachibana ㅠㅠ he never lost hope and gave all his effort even after all those years :'DD ugh i love them so much (╥﹏╥) they deserve the happiness and freedom that they got >< overall this was yet another masterpiece from this author !! i'm so obsessed with their other works, it always has that melancholic vibe that will really pull you in the story ^^ their story always hits a spot in my heart and i always get emotional when i read them :')) i love this so much !! the art style is amazing as well !! this was an emotional yet amazing read !!

i've been waiting for this to be completed and finally i got to read it !! it was definitely worth it ^^ the first part was quite painful since i don't really like seeing child abuse and the fact that they also arrested yan even though that was clearly yuen's way to protect and defend himself :(( i also felt bad to see yuen grow up to taking in sexual requests as his part-time ig, i mean there's nothing wrong with that if you really like your job but it seemed like yuen wasn't enjoying it and it may stemmed from his trauma as a child :< i don't get why yan kept his identity from yuen like girl ㅠㅠ i know he did that in order to avoid hurting yuen more but i don't get in what way :'DD but anyway i'm glad it all worked out in the end >< i was going to rate this with 5 stars but there were some stuff that was quite a blur to me and i also felt quite annoyed by the identity thingy part but i did love the ending esp when yan cleaned his name and did his best to change for the good ^^ they also took in the kids which is just adorable ㅠㅠ i wish we got to see more of their family life >< i hope there's extras :> the art style is very pretty !! this was a good read !!

i liked it but it was also a bit meh~ i feel like the plot was a bit forced esp on kiyo's part bc being turned immortal without his consent would've been very painful but ig i'm glad that they fell inlove (?) at the end ^^ the story of their past and esp the part where they were explaining abt the immortality of mermaids, was quite of confusing but that might be just me since i read this while i was sick lol anyway i think it was pretty interesting and unique esp the trope, but i wish i felt more of their connection bc the whole thing just felt forced :< the art's great though !! still a pretty good read
