blueberry's manga / #Literary masterpiece(2)

Note to future self: Read it in full if I’m ready for emotional pain (not the good kind) but a HEA literary masterpiece. It’s great. I skimmed and skipped a lot of chapters cuz I wasn’t strong enough, but this story is a cinematic masterpiece. Such complex and interwoven relationships, very strong “found family” vibes, everyone loving each other in their own complicated way, etc…I’m so cooked Other characters were so well-written: - Late wife is so beautiful inside and out. Strongest, coolest, most devoted,most empathetic, most patient, best lady of the house. So smart and confident about her position in ML’s life that she allowed morally grey relationships to continue…because she knew that as abnormal as it all was, it works just right. - daughter (Reika) is so relatable I cried fuck…and she’s aware and super considerate of her dad and wants the best for him, and is so emotionally mature - Hachi (“pet” lol) is so cool and funny too. I bet he’ll be the best older brother to Reika. He reads the mood very well and is sharp enough to acknowledge Reika’s emotional sacrifices - ML is such a unique and aloof character that’s also dutiful, responsible, super cool, enigmatic, and self-sacrificing to a fault. My god, his acts during childhood to keep the peace of the family and make his brother happy…fuck. Crying. - MC is our resident pity-boy lol we love him. He’s done much for others around him too.

Sometimes the plot feels like a fever dream lol It’s super big-brained, unique, and complex. Massive applause to this author for combining drama with angst and murder mysteries lol How tf did the author make the seme so unassuming at first then make him into the coolest most badass character wtf I’m blushing when I see this man…he’s a modern day villain that turned to good deeds purely cuz of circumstances; if his drive was misplaced (e.g. dystopian setting or smth) he’d definitely become the scariest criminal LOL Uke is so cute aeyeyeye They’re both so considerate of each other they love each other so much ayaaaaaaa Also The smut is so fkn hot FUCK Ch 20: Fkn bittersweet wholesomeness facing uke’s father’s past. I cried, fuck.
