KaneGAB's manga / #PTSD(2)

Ao Haru Ride

Complete | SAKISAKA Io | 2011 released

One of my absolute favorite books of all time. The artwork is absolutely stunning, which is an added bonus. It is extremely traumatic at times, and it is very slow-burn, but Futaba and Kou's feelings are clear throughout the entire series; they were each other's first loves and they are soulmates. They might not have been aware of it the entire time, but it was clear to me as a reader that they never fell out of love. In short, they were always going to end up together, and, man, am I happy they did.

Beast with Flowers

Ongoing | solddam,jureong | 2019 released

10000/10 - one of my absolute favorites. The FL had lived two lives, and before she died at 74 (having lived a long life, happily married to the ML since she was 18, with three kids together), she asked her husband (the ML) to meet her in their next life and love her then. The ML died one year later at his late wife's grave, and he woke up in the future (around 800 years), remembering his past life; he eventually found the love of his life once more, and persistently stuck by her until she also fell back in love with him (he more or less stalked her. He was crushed that she didn't remember him). I loved the plot, how original it was, that we got a lot of extra chapters with the main leads' future, married life, where they had kids, and then a BUNCH of chapters in their future lives. I loved their love. Especially the ML's love, which knows no bounds.
