Haruna's manga / #Shounen Ai(46)

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.

The storyline is actually really interesting and the romance isn't the only focus of the story. Honestly, at some point I was more interested in the virus and the progress of the crisis that they were facing rather than the romance between the main characters lmao. I absolutely loved Hayeon and Jihyuk so much. I can't even count the amount of times I was in distress wondering if Jihyuk would make it until the end of the series but thankfully he did. When I started reading it, I literally told myself I would stop reading if Jihyuk died. Clearly, I have a favourite. As for Woon, I never really became attached to his character and I was fine if he had died and this story ended tragically but it didn't so that's fine too. I suppose I'm glad Woon lived bcs Hayeon looks so happy to be with him. I'm also really surprised that they actually solved the entire virus thing. Some stories end with a "save haven" being made for the survivors or that they found a solution but it wasn't placed in worldwide effect. This story tho showed the process of them slowly spreading out the cure to the virus and I kinda like knowing what happened to the world after. Overall, it's a really interesting story. Yk it's good when I would like the story even if it didn't have the romance aspect of it (which was the whole reason I started reading this btw, for the romance that is).

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
