anaisbby's manga / #A sad happy ending(3)

Abiru Junjou

I have read this a couple of times and each time I read it I kind of push it to the back of my mind. The story is about a highschooler named Yuka Ogura and his teacher and next door neighbor Hikaru Gotou who is being blackmailed by Yuka after he is seen kissing a man on his front door step where Yuka can see. Yukas grandmother is in the hospital leaving the 15 year old boy all alone. The premise itself is already very bleak. Typically in plots like this everything is fun and bright and funny. This however essentially depicts two extremely lonely charachters both dealing with their own internal struggles and the external pressure from their peers. For Yuka in particular he is a survivor of sexual assult and is consistently bullied by both female teaches and students after a teacher attempted suicide due to his feelings for him. Even though we see Yuka cry more than once about his situation it feels like we never get to the bottom of it. Yuka is still being blamed for doing nothing. He has nobody to rely on other than his grandmother and future love interest. The story is beautiful and yet painful
