honda's manga / #Mafia(2)

I need to talk about this work. Of course it's my favourite, everyone knows it after reading it. I watched the anime and it was ok, it didn't fascinate me. After his death, I was curious to know if something happened, what Eiji would do, or if that estrategy-kiss was the only kiss they gave, so I read it. And holy shit, I felt Ash's pain from the bottom of my heart, I felt everything. I learned the rest about empathy I couldn't learn before. It made me cry so many times, I wanted to scream because at the end of the story that I took one week or so to read, I matured ten years. It was like I had experienced all the bad in the world at one time, and Ash was alive to fight it. It wasn't his destiny, he never wanted to kill anyone, or to involve so many people. He was in the battles front avoiding a massive destruction, and the person leading him to continue was Eiji. I had another view and another thought about love. Ash believed him and Eiji couldn't be together because Eiji would be in so much danger if they would. Ash wanted him to go back to Japan, but at the same time, he needed him close. Eiji was his last hope. He lost everyone he loved, his bestfriend, his right hand man, his brother, his father, and to avoid losing the one he loved the most, ant the one who last, he risked his life. He let his guard down and was gone after experiencing a fraction of the good in life. Ash could have lived and could have understood the feeling of being woken up by Eiji without worrying 10 minutes later about his well-being. I will never forget the pain I felt. Aslan Jade Callereense will always be in my heart. He was 18 but... he damn lived. Thanks, Akimi Yoshida, for this masterpiece.

Ok, review time. I read Doushitemo Furetakunai last year or the year before, and even though I didn't give five stars to that one, when I think about it, something inside me changes. I can't really remember how I found Saezuru, and at first, there were a few problematic elements about this story that I was worried about. But then, suddenly I couldn't stop talking about it. "Saezuru, saezuru, saezuru", all for the really interesting and promising thing that could happen. It happened, but in a so much better way than I thought. Yoneda Kou made Yashiro into a real human. She explains his behavior, and she justifies it. In the beginning, I didn't understand Doumeki's feelings, because it was sudden to me. But the well-developed story, the complex characters, and the mixed and fucked feelings you feel with them are so well-integrated. Really, this is amazing. That kind of story that gives me so many new feelings that I don't mind the way that the story will end. Of course, I hope, inside my heart, that both of them can finally be happy in the end. If I could say, it's something like Ash Lynx's death in Banana Fish. We hate it, but the whole plot and development were so great that we - try - to forgive Akimi Yoshida for it. And, of course, I must say: the art is amazing, the prettiest I've ever seen. There's not a single flaw in the story. Yes, I hate seeing rape, but here this subject is something to be overcame, and not something to be praised. I didn't love Yashiro or Doumeki. I hated Ryuuzaki. Now, I love Yashiro so much, because I understand his actions. That's what a good mangaka is like. And yes, I would fuck Doumeki and I adore Ryuuzaki, he's so funny and transparent. That's right. I guess Saezuru gets into my top five mangas. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks to everyone involved. Yashiro, don't be sad, your man is still yours and he always was.
