ash's manga / #Slice of Life(12)

a very refreshing story to read, i enjoyed every chapter of it. red akatsuki is seriously so similar to zoro with his awful sense of direction lolol he's so adorable.

another victim to japan's infamous 'corporate slaves'.. anyway, joking aside it's a cute and mellow story, very laid-back! a good break from all of the action/isekai stories i've been reading. the mc reminds me of tanaka from the anime 'tanaka-kun is always listless' haha.

there were sure a lot of misunderstandings haha, i got confused on who kimura actually liked at times but it was pretty cute.

“don’t you dare belittle the one person i care most about in this world!” it was absolutely amazing, i'm so devastated it came to an end already it's such a heartwarming and precious read! the lack of communication and misunderstandings frustrated me a lot but in the end, it was all worth it. they were perfect for each other, the way taiichi fell from the railing onto kouhei's spot as if he were sent from the heavens for him, was like destiny. i was so absorbed in the story, i just don't know how to reciprocate all the feelings that i had while reading it, into words– but being able to experience all the feelings that they felt throughout the story, like the happiness, excitement, heartbreak was a rollercoaster ride of emotions. truly a beautiful and genuine story, the representation of people with disabilities and the way they felt was well-done and can be used as an eye opener for some people.

"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.
