etien's manga / #Trauma(2)

As much as I appreciate portrayal of intimacy phobia, as someone who has suffered it for a long time, I should point out how unrealistic the ending is. It does not get resolved so soon and this easy (I wish it did). It takes years of healing process WITH a loving partner that accompanies you all the way. That "let's break up, Shiori" is an irreversible blow. That one thing is exactly what you should never do to victims of physical abuse and trauma.

Beautifully narrated and illustrated story. The first josei manga I have read that is from the ML's perspective mostly and it makes you fully understand him. I can't wait to reread this in a year or so when my memory is faded a bit.
