just_m3h's manga / #Self Harm(2)

I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have at all. Please let me forget this. I wanted the uke to get his revenge, I did. Seme gaslighted him, forced him, had someone else rape him, seme is fucking trash. But even revenge feels hollow, because uke can never get his life back. Only giving it 2.5 stars because uke got his revenge. Otherwise a 1 star story. Let me forget, please. Please. I can't.

1, 3: Story about Youji, an amateur manga artist, and how he falls for Sawa, his sepai who always wears gloves for an unknown reason. The story was incredible. And incredibly painful. Yaoi rarely deal with issues like self harm and trauma well, but this was amazing. I wish them all the happiness. 5 2, 4: Suo and Minato meet online as bl fanfic writer and fan artist. Once they meet irl, their bond strengthens and Suo eventually realizes he is in love with Minato. Only, Minato has been in love with him for just as long, if not longer. So much pain in their desperation, but so heartwarming and sweet, too. Suo will never ever know how much he saved Minato. Lord. This child needed that break. 4.7 The entire collection has such depth and evokes the strangest sense of nostalgia. Bittersweet but heavy on the sweet, and heartbreakingly beautiful.
