Marsh's manga / #twink(38)

Phenomenal art, interesting and captivating characters, incredible flow to the plot, a bit silly at times but it's well-balanced by the more serious and heavy moments. Definitely one I'd read multiple times.

This was incredible. Beautiful art, as per usual with this author, and a story with a wonderful constant, underlying bittersweet feel to it. We learn a lot about the characters, and their interactions feel natural and organic, the realistic feeling peek into the world of sex work was refreshing and entertaining. The ending was phenomenal however, with all but one member of the cast moving on with their lives, and then later they reunite and we can see how that final person's perspective had been changed due to their unwillingness to move on, allowing them to start a new life though it will never be quite the same. Bittersweet is a perfect word to describe this story; nothing is too gritty and nothing is ignored for the sake of positivity, we as the audience can see both the good and the ugly sides of these characters and their lives and behaviours they exhibit, how they affect the world around them and in turn are affected by the world. I can see myself coming back to read this one again.
