Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
"i know where we stand, but i can't help liking you" the plot is really unique and interesting! the art is very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, it somehow reminds me of chainsaw man in a way. i'm excited to see the story progress more, the current 'hikaru' is making it so hard for me to hate him, man but honestly... he didn't actually do anything wrong in particular except possess hikaru's body or maybe my mind's just too fucked up because i feel kinda bad for him, he can't even decipher which feelings are his or hikaru's but i don't really know for sure, maybe he might become evil later on— haha please don't. i'm not sure how this could possibly have a happy ending but we'll have to see.

"you deserve to be loved." it's a nice and heartwarming read, i love how their friendship bloomed and how ishida slowly grew to trust onishi! from being cautious that he'd end up like all the people who left and hurt him– to trusting him fully & finding warmth and comfort in him. i didn't really like the ending though, it kinda felt half-hearted.. maybe the author was opting for an ambiguous ending but it just seemed like i was cliff-hanged. though it's not a perfect story, it's comforting and i didn't regret reading it.

the art is absolutely stunning along with the coloring! the old geezer at the window creeped me out dude.

the story itself is very eerie and the art adds to that unsettling feeling that keeps you on a watch on what’ll happen. i find the art very unique and beautiful! i was waiting for aida to come out but she didn’t until they revealed that they were actually pretending to be one person so— that kinda surprised me, i’m guessing that the one i found on a tiktok will be in the ‘aisha’ story. so, i’ll be sure to read that. i find sean and ayesha’s romance pretty twisted in a way since the bond that they created was because of talking about family members they’ve killed haha! but they’re pretty cool together, they give of power couple vibes and they’re visuals are sheesh! the panels at the ending were cute and i’m glad that they stuck together.
