Sodalite's manga / #Psychological(47)

This a very good one if saying 'great' is a bit of a stretch. I pretty much didn't see this as a mere Yaoi but more like: young boys realising their sexuality & sexual orientation and how they suffer internally due to heteronormative society and cope with it in self-oppressive manner. I just wish the author grab the opportunity to add a social commentary into it. I'm glad that Mishima & Yumeno found a place they feel belonged to and got to live their adult life in a way they can at least express themeselves. Kirino, who, on the other hand, chose a different path which I until now I couldn't tell if that really gave him happiness and contentment. It's disheartening for me to see yet I also understand that his mother's happiness is very dear to him, and it may be the reason behind that decision. Still, I can't accept it. He really deserve to live his life without hold backs. This is what adds to the goodness of this manga because it has a touch of reality. Bittersweet, indeed.

This would require you to read twice because it can get confusing. I haven't read a lot of manhwa so I'm going to say this is a first time I've come across at one with unique plot flow(?) As it has multiple jumps in time either: past, present, or future. I saw a review that it's written in that way as it was like a lifestory flashing before Giju's eyes. I can't lie and say here that I cried but damn, I wish I was. The story is truly a heartbreaking one and it just shows the reality of life that not everyone truly heals from trauma and whose life concludes with a happy ending. Resorting into believing that Giju and Young-do gets together in second life, living happily and loving & protecting each other, while having Yuju as their child –is my way of coping here.

This one has a special place in my heart.

Damn. I shouldn't have read this this sooner 'cause I want the next chapters NOW.

JUST READ THIS. "TRUTH OR DARE" IS A HIDDEN GEM [NOT REALLY BUT I CONSIDER IT AS ONE]. IT'S SO DEEP AND THOUGHT PROVOKING. PERSONALLY, THIS IS MORE ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SIDE. THIS BEING A BL/SHOUNEN AI SEEMS LIKE AN APPENDAGE.

Reminds me of Sadistic Beauty: BL Side Story and some certain parts of Color Recipe.
