Hinadori wa Shiokaze ni Madoromu
GOOOOSH YESSSS ANOTHER BL WITH EMOTIONAL COMPLEXITY AND A BELIEVABLE ROMANTIC DEVELOPMENT!!! NOT TO MENTION THE QUOTABLE LINES, THE TENDERNESS, THE WARMTH DAAAMN GOING STRAIGHT TO MY FAVORITES LIST!!! yk actually this story can somehow be likened to the waves of the sea~ sometimes violently crashing to the shore like the raging melancholy and loneliness felt by each character. But then again like waves that always, gradually calm down, hope and love compelled them to move forward, until finally the sea, life, doesn't seem so daunting anymore!!! i understand why it's well-loved by readers UwU beyond the romance, it perfectly captured the beauty of unconditional love!!! i love all the characters so much i feel like ive grown attached to them so im sad that the story ended :( i loved the metaphors too!!! and their pain felt so palpable TT and now im longing for a sense of belongingness and clarity that can only come from loving and receiving love :(((( gosh this is written so so so tenderly and beautifully~ luv it!!!!!!
