sonny's manga / #⭐⭐(6)

This story could’ve happened without the Majo Shonen nonsense, it only raises more questions than something of its length is able to answer. And you can’t just throw the incest subplot at me then resolve it in like three pages after having Rei trauma dump all the exposition.

Every story feels like Haruta’s on a time crunch.

I guess we are supposed to believe that, in leaving his father, Iori becomes aware of his worth as a person and not a stressball unto which frustrations are released,,, but he goes right back to Manabu who'd done just that - and drove him away right after no less - on some cheap promise of "doing better." I suppose it's fine if you look at the ending as being bitter sweet, with Iori leaving one broken man for another, but I just don't think that was the intent. Just feel like its begging to be taken seriously as a Mature manga.

say “straight guy” one more time and i’ll kill myself
