hana's manga / #pure love(4)

A very deep story depicting the harsh reality. A very bittersweet story, and it will leave you crying. Not your typical yaoi boys love story. I love the details, the depth, this past history and the character development. It was very meaningful, and pretty heavy stuff. If you want a mature love story, understanding the hardships that gays go through than definitely read this.

The story was good, and I liked that it was long that there was good character development. Misaki is such a possessive guy though! Hiroya is a bit too weak for my taste, though he did stand up for himself at times. Tokunaga is slowly falling for Hiroya hehe. It was a good read.

It's such a great story. I understand that it's incest, but it's a complicated one to just logically think through. For years they both tried to avoid each other, pretending to be simply father and son, but even that failed through. Perhaps all that they can do is move afar where no one knows them and live as a couple, to avoid societies ridicule of not just being gay, but father and son. At least one of the two, with the latter being much worse, can be somewhat kept a secret. I feel sorry for them and their situation...don't know how else to put it.

The ending should have been a bit longer, maybe with a wedding and a child? It was really sweet and cute though, a pure love. I liked how Akio was mature, and it made it so that the couple was very well made, though the age of 14ish? is a bit too young. At the same time, maturity also has to do with the environment and circumstances you live in. It was such a simple love story, but the simplicity in life is what truly matters. The more cruel it is, the more mature a person becomes. It was enjoyable.
