I have never written anything on any of the manga I’ve read but this really hit me dude. It has been a really, really long time since I’ve felt some kind of string emotion from reading a BL manga LOL. First of all, Mao’s internal monologue is absolutely beautiful and poetic. Ever so rarely do I hear such words coming from the MC.
Gosh and the ART!! THE ART. The art style gives off elegant and graceful vibes, like a flowy dress rustling in the wind on a nice, spring day. I absolutely adore the small details and can’t help but stop to admire the art. Take the small, drawn on stars in Mao’s eyes and on his cheeks for example. The poses are so dynamic and beautiful, especially during the sex scenes. Of course, those poses aren’t new, but something about it just feels so lively and it is a fresh of air from the other manga I’ve read.
I’m kind of glad that this wasn’t too angsty about the characters being “ugh I can’t believe you broke the rules so now I’ll wallow in anger even tho I feel something for you.” Rules are just meant to be broken, after all.
