SS Tier: I thought that since the main character is gay, and that I'm a lesbian, that I wouldn't be able to relate to this as much as GL, but I was so gladly mistaken. This manga made me cry because of how fucking real the MC's thoughts are. It hurt me so much to read about his experiences and relationships with both cis-het & LGBT people, because it was so indescribably accurate. Most of all, his own view of himself is what really hits the nail on the head. That isn't to say this comic is all about pain, because really it's about healing. If you are literally any kind of LGBT, you absolutely will relate to this manga and you'll feel seen, represented. While the MC is a gay teenage boy, there are also lesbian and trans characters that are equally important. I find that not only is the dialogue emotionally invoking by itself, but the way the characters queerness is represented through the art, and even the page format is absolutely beautiful. I don't even know if the mangaka is LGBT, but they did a fucking phenomenal job with this.
