Haruna's manga / #Drama(194)

The last story. The moment I laid my eyes on the characters, I knew that this was the couple they had chosen to make an ova about. I had never watched the ova nor had I ever read the manga until now. It made me cry. I knew it was sad but I didn’t think it would make me feel as much pain and sadness as I do right now. I felt so sorry for Kuroda. Until the very end, he never truly told Tsukishima that he loved him. Tsukishima died too young. The world was cruel to the both of them. When Kuroda’s first ever hybrid child spoke it’s first words, that’s when I broke down in tears. It’s just a sentence. A sentence that held so much love and emotion even if it wasn’t said directly. I think Kuroda regrets not chasing after him. He regrets all the things he said the night before Tsukishima committed seppuku. The fact that everyone else thought it was natural for Tsukishima to sacrifice himself for the clan is terrible. To make someone commit forced suicide. I don’t think I’ll ever get over this. I’ll cry every time I read it.

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.
