Hinadori wa Shiokaze ni Madoromu
5 Edit: I just wanted to write something after re-reading this so many times over the past several years and never leaving a review. Yuuichi will always be one of my favourite bl characters of all time. Despite his loss, he is such a gentle soul, leaving pretty much anyone who's life he's touched, better for it. I love his relationship with Ayumu and Ryou both. Ayumu's obviously had a hard time but, Ryou, man. The man's been through IT. Wow. Yuuichi must seem like his own personal miracle compared to all the scum he's been surrounded by, all his life. To still retain so much compassion for Ayumu despite all that, tells me that whatever his faults, there's still a LOT of good left in him. I am so glad the 3 of them found each other. 5/5
Boku o Warui Ko ni Shite
Leaving aside the rape, which was incredibly horrifying and nearly impossible to read through, there are so many other things that are wrong with this manga. From the multiple misunderstandings and lack of communication, to the shady as fuck secretary, to the lack of accountability for causing hurt and overall bad vibes. What did Makoto fall in love over, anyway? Touma had nothing to offer, at least in the beginning. Also, the rape was one of the most brutual depictions in a BL manga I have ever come across, without going into the downright macabre genre. It's a NO from me 2.5
Patchwork (fujitani Youko)
They are wonderful, for striving so hard to give this child some measure of happiness and love ('some' as in, any and all they could, and then some)
