pinetr3e's manga / #mutual love(2)

When I first read the sinopsis i thought that it was going to be one of those stories "my friend - for some reason - jerked me off and i caught feelings for him" but it wasn't quite like that. I mean, the way the author built the story around this trope was totally different. Gaku didn't really have interest in girls when he was younger and respected them more than the other guys did, so when the guys noticed it they excluded him. The girls wanted to be with him so he went along with it because he didn't want to be alone. Later, he found out that he was more interested in guys (PRECIOUS BABY). Himari was scared of girls because of that childhood experience, his father wasn't around, he skipped sex education classes and overall he wasn't really interested in girls either and so he didn't fit in with the other guys too (i guess we can assume that he's also gay (?)) IN THE END, THEY FIT EACH OTHER SO WELL THAT I WANNA CRY. The part when Gaku is pushing Himari away because he's trying to protect Himari from being teased by others and being excluded like he was during middle school is beautiful and sad because we see the prejudice and how it interferes in their thoughts and lives. And don't even get me started on the art MAN GAKU AND HIMARI JUST HIT DIFFERENT THEY ARE *CHEF'S KISS* ARGHH I LOVE THEM. ALSO, MAN... GAKU IS THICC, BIG DICK ENERGY!

Ah, i thought this was going to be kind meh and superficial but i liked it so cuteee <3
