Nen's manga / #Novelist(1)

I really love the characters here and I think it's extremely realistic in a lot of aspects. Underrated gem. It's amazing how the author is approaching the theme of coming out and how desperate the protagonist is to be accept and loved "no matter how messed up I am". I relate so deeply to his struggle - how my family would change if I came out, how I'll never have someone who loves me and only me, how lonely I feel at times. Really wonderful work Chap. 46 is amazing. The way the author handles how liberating and sorrowful coming out can be... It's stunning, so wonderful. Jiho's struggle with his decision is so realistic: he let go of a big weight, but now he can never have back those moments with his family. He misses his loved ones but it isn't something he can take back or change. It's so real. At Chap. 53 and wow, every chapter is a punch to the stomach in the best way. As someone in the closet and with a sibling I'm very close to that knows nothing, seeing Jiho's sister accepting him and being ashamed of her past words is just... something that hits deeply and that hurts.
