That was so fuckin beautiful!!!!
There's 3 Edo BL stories that have been recently made around 2018: "Yuki & Matsu", "Momo & Manji", & "Bena". They do have commonalities in showing how cruel the world of the past was in the sexual abuse & torment of minors especially, & in general how the vulnerable are the prey for the powerful. Judging from what I've learned about history, I'm sure there's accuracy to that.
While all three titles are love stories taking place in the Edo period, all have very district styles, & are doing different things with their stories.
However, one commonality I great appreciate, is that they all have the same idea of people going through the worst possible shit anyone can experience, enduring unspeakable abuse, but making it out on the other side & finding peace, happiness, & love. These stories embrace you with love in the end. They're all wonderful!
Bena was beautiful!
