Haruna's manga / #BL(132)

I really liked the story :) I didn’t feel like there was too much drama or angst but the story still had had so much depth in it. I love the two main characters and they’re absolutely adorable together :>

It’s beautiful. It portrays trauma in such a way that it hurts you but at the same time, leaves you in awe at just how gruesome and cruel the world can be. It shows the pain of not being able to move on and the pain of being haunted by your past and upbringing. Hayden and Alan are characters with such complex personalities made by their own pasts in which they could not escape. They didn’t deserve the deaths they faced but they left the world together because they loved one another. All their suffering was because of the people around them who subjected them to torture and the memories of such a thing scarred them. I wish they got the happy ending they deserved but no one will ever apologise for creating a monster. Only the monsters who were created against their own wills have to suffer the consequences of their birth and upbringing. The world is beautiful as it is cruel.

I've only ever watched small clips of the anime here and there, actually. But I was reading a manga by the same author and decided to just read doukyuusei on a whim LOL. I'm not surprised at how much it made my heart flutter bcs I've always known it was a good story. I don't think the last 2 chapters were ever animated but when they bought rings for each other, it was so cute. I was literally like squealing over it and saying how cute it was. Absolutely love it :> it's so adorable
