dazaspas's manga / #Sad(1)

This is absolutely sad and yet so beautiful. . Adolph and Lewis were once in love and had a healthy relationship. They were cute together, but their relationship turned into an abusive one, with Adolph hurting Lewis both physically and psychologically. . Adolph, who was a sweet boy, began to be cold, lie, cheat and eventually even raped his partner. Lewis was a bright kid, but he gave up on himself and his dreams and started living only for Lewis, who became more and more abusive as time went on. . In addition to this broken relationship, Lewis also had to deal with his deteriorating health and undergo cancer treatment alone. That's how he met Ivan - his lovely doctor - who ended up falling in love with Lewis and stayed by his side caring (and giving lots of love) for him during his final months. . I like how realistic the story is and how well it portrays an abusive relationship in which the abused person still deeply loves the abuser. All the sadness and hope that the good times will return, all the struggles to give up on a relationship that is long dead, all the suffering for the feelings you have to let go of... The depiction of the difficulties after finally letting go of the broken relationship is also extremely real and well done. All the struggle to believe that you are worth of TRUE love and affection, accepting someone else's and even your own new feelings, building a new and healthy relationship... . I wish there was a new story (AU, reincarnation or something else) showing Lewis and Ivan in a wholesome, happy and long lasting relationship. ️
