Chouno's heart-wrenching backstory. It's dark and twisted but nuanced and complex in a way only Akabeko-sensei could pull off. It explains Chouno's present character and personality with perfection. Truly did its job as the prequel to 'Chou to Hana no Kankeisei'.

Literally the only story from Harada-sensei that I actually like . The fucked up shit made sense here and the revenge was really satisfying....

2 stories in one. Katsumi, guilt-ridden and traumatized from the past, resorts to violent sex as a coping mechanism. Maki, his old classmate and ex best friend, helps him heal slowly by slowly. Daiya is a wild city boy who goes to a village for a fresh change of perspective. There he meets and falls in love with Yusuke. Both stories were really great. The mangaka was really good at pacing and writing emotions and feelings well. The soft, mellow tone of the stories helped them to resonate with me even more. Definitely a great read.♡

Beautiful story with beautiful art. I want-. No. I NEED more!!!!!!!!

Taiga wants to become a hero. Arima is Maria. But does he really want to be that? Features trauma and it's long-term effects, healing from it, two boys helping each other to become better versions of themselves, and falling in love along the way. Arima's pain was heartwrenching. And Taiga's shallow idealism was relatable. This was a beautiful story and I cried to it.

Weird but very VERY good.

A man struggles with his secret fetish of extreme sadism while falling in love. (Good ending)
