Kiba's manga / #drama(105)

Yes, it is easier to heal another than to heal yourself. Ryouichi always thought he and Kanata were too alike..but never thought they would be alike here too? It was good, sad, and bittersweet. It is psychological. Yes, there is rape, abuse, trauma, love, sadness and friendship. But it's the psychological aspect. The two came together so closely as only they had the understanding of the darkness and heaviness of carrying the burden of being mentally tormented by the past, and hiding because they couldn't heal their minds. This manga messes with my mind, making me think....I wonder.... did Ryouichi heal his own mind by trying to help Kanata? Isn't more like he went deeper in his nightmares by letting fear overcome him with Kanata, and made the past become permanent scars deciding his future? Did Kanata heal his wounds because of Ryouichi's sacrifices and outward strength? Did Kanata wish he was stronger too and didn't freeze to tell Ryouichi how he felt? Does Ryouichi spend his life with regretting the "what if" or does he also hide from that? The peace they felt, the two could only speak of everything with each other, so why, Ryouichi, did you isolate yourself deeper? You became strong so others couldn't hurt you, and became weak and let you hurt yourself more.

Chills and yet you can't tear your eyes away. That is ogawa chise. So dark, I can't find my way out.

It was a good manga, but unfortunately incomplete as it seems mankaga either had an accident or passed away. The story was getting really good, and then stops in the middle of nowhere.

It was so hard to categorize this one; such an interesting story, about man who tries to kill himself and the Buddhist temple caretaker finds him- Neo, and brings him to stay inside the temple. Neo always has had a knack for finding people trying to kill themselves or those who succeed in front of him. THe man he finds is Mic. He has amnesia- and only a kids bag inside, and a name tag that says Mic. It's a very iteresting story that involves so much more than memory, - questions life- could you love someone if you thought they were a murderer?- questions locking your heart away so no pain can befall you - questions the world itself.... And the answers it gives, I never saw coming. Worth reading.

I wasn't sure what to make of the best friends growing up to never seeing each other for 7 years. Why? Thats because a good mangaka understands pacing, how we ignore things too painful. It's a good story about two cousins who haven't seen each other for 7 years, and how they bridge the gap of time and resentment. How we have to grow up as people, and how if we never try, nothing will change. No comedy that takes away from emotions, no smut that distract, JUST a good story about who we are and who we want to be.

This is a really underrated manga. It's not about sex, smut, the first volume are of two couples, the main one falling in love with each other , and how they grow 4,5,7 years after, still together. But being men, men aren't the most talkative about their feelings. And there are some things, men or women, need to say out loud to be happy together. The other is almost a short story but he's in love with his junior high friend, who moved to america to become an actor. For years it's been long distance, and while they are a small part of chapter one, they are a good size part of Volume 2. It was an intriguing and very realistic feeling yaoi.

It's about a man, who's best friend and lover from high school to adulthood tells him suddenly, lets go back to how we were as friends 5 years, which has been very painful for him. He meets a vet who keeps trying to get them them to date, and at one point says he understands how he feels....the vet cares about him so much that he would rather be with him as friends than never seeing him again. It's a hard bittersweet, and a good RL story for how real life could be.

I really liked this. Normally I don't like collections that much but it was perfect- not too much, mystery, and waiting for who you love. Great read.

I was surprised at how much a volume anime really got to me and mess with me. It is not a pretty love, is a dark psychological one that their parent (now dead) inscribed in to their head, and how hard it is to break your paren't twisted ideas. And yes, sometimes rather dealing with all the shit done for nothing, sometimes you feel like you want to die. Extreme emotions are usually extreme, good or bad. Bot haruka is a unique hero, no matter how you see him.

It really was a hot but insightful manga, so sexy and one of a kind I can only wish there was more.
