Butterflies don't dance near poisonous flowers
«✾✾» Oneshot for the series Camellia. It seems the author wanted to include it in the original manga but left it as a oneshot. Camellia: mangago.me / read-manga / camellia_minami /
Camellia
// Complete // 4 Chapters (Discontinued) >> Note: "MINAMI Kiriko decided to discontinue Camelia because she felt as if she was giving out the wrong message to readers and the story became something that she didn't like anymore." - "She changed her name to Miko Kato because she didn't like how her pervious name was associated with Camelia." >> Note: "There were originally supposed to be 6 chapters and an epilogue but since the series has discontinued chapters 5 and 6 were never published. MINAMI Kiriko instead published chapters 5 and 6 in her novel adaptation of Camelia." - Novel chapters 5 & 6: kato-miko.com / works / %E3%82%AB%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2%E4%BA%94%E8%A9%B1%E4%BB%A5%E9%99%8D%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%83%83%E3%83%88 / (Jap) > Oneshot for the series Camellia: mangago.me / read-manga / butterflies_don_t_dance_near_poisonous_flowers / (Note: It seems the author wanted to include it in the original manga but left it as a oneshot.) «✾✾» Personally, I was really liking this story. And by this, I don't mean to say that I like or support the violent and heavy issues portrayed here. It goes without saying, that such things, which unfortunately happen also in everyday life to so many people, are to be condemned. In fact, it's not a favourite of mine and it's not my cup of tea (apart from incest, which I like in manga). But what I mean about the story is that I think it was pretty interesting and well-written! Despite being obviously twisted, it drew me in. I don't know how it could happen that the author felt that she went off rail and that the story wasn't what she intended anymore. Maybe she received too many critics?? Well, only she can know. But personally I felt frustrated, because only two chapters were left to complete the manga and I really wanted to read it till the end. It's disappointing that the story got wasted, because it had potential and I think it was a good psychological story! Maybe it could have even been a 5-stars story! In the end, I gave it 4 stars exactly because it's regrettably unfinished. >>> [[SPOILER]] Based on what I understood from google translation, in ch. 6 of the novel version, Hyou goes to kill their father and, the day after that, he turns himself in. Then, it seems like, soon after his brother's graduation, he commits suicide in prison (?). In the end, Setsu goes to live at their cousin's family house. >> So, the novel version's ending is a heart-breaking tragic one. On Baka-Updates and here, the manga has a tragedy tag as well, but I preferred to not put the tag on the manga here, because in the chapters available there's not tragedy yet and the manga remains incomplete in actuality. So, I prefer to leave it at that. Then, if we consider the novel version, then it's tragedy through and through.

// Complete // [Brother x Sister (they had never met before)] [Gay side character included - however his relationship is not shown, I wish we could see a bit of it and a bit more of him in general, but at least in the end we see his gay wedding with his partner]
