Silver Ash's manga / #Very Well Done(3)

This was crazy wild and crazy wonderful. The art and writing had me emotional the whole ride. People make mistakes in times where they are manipulated after years of grooming and conditioning. The trauma that Mitsuru had to endure was realistic and hits home for a lot of gay couples. Accurate representation is super important, especially for long term domestic abuse victims that are emotionally dragged and verbally degraded. It’s not easy to write and it isn’t easy to read, but it’s incredibly important. You don’t have to forgive your abuser. The people that truly love you won’t stop loving you. Abusers can feel regret, they are still human and in this case he really did love Mitsuru. Properly getting to know someone is important. Abuse of any kind is a heavy burden to carry.
