The art was nice and plot was also good, but I didn't really like any of the characters. It also has some really sketchy parts in general.

Nights Before Night

Complete | Kazuki Natsume | 2000 released

Spin-off of MODS featuring Haru. Haru is haunted by the death of his ex-lover, Shigure, even after 11 years. Enter Shigure's bratty younger brother, Yukitaka, who helps him to move on and heal. ANGST, so much ANGST. Characterization was *chef's kiss* and the mangaka portrayed their feelings and emotions so beautifully. I cried like a bitch when Yukitaka confessed his love to Haru. His sacrifice and dedication for him, like DAMN bitch. That's some next level selfless love. Like legit teardrops flowing down my face and shit. Also, I'm pretty sure I cried on my first read and I'm sure I'll cry again many more re-reads to come :))
