kei_k's manga / #Slice of Life(74)

Reread: 02/04/17 Changing my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I guess I just read too many annoying manga that I'm appreciating this fluff better. I super like that there was no love triangle or cheating. The main hurdle was overcoming how people would see them, esp. Nonokawa. This is pretty basic for homosexuals in the society, so yeah. I liked that the seme was super devoted and the uke's really sexy and not too girly. I guess the 12 years thing kind of bothered me 'cos I think it's too much, but imagining myself in Nono's shoes, I guess he's right about his feelings just like that school -- it only submerged, not disappeared completely.. So when they met again, he could no longer contain these feelings. :)

start/end: 11/18/18 WOW. I can't believe it already ended. I started this feeling unsure of what to expect, but I got a lot more and I just can't get enough. I like how they explore the LGBTQ community by showing various people who identify with it. I got so hooked that I just want more... Like, I wanted to understand it more from their perspective. I'm personally in a "questioning" dilemma so this manga hits me right in the kokoro (*insert meme pic*). It's super interesting and I just want more... :c

start/end: 04/03/19 T_T It hurt to imagine this happening, what more IRL. :( Especially the part where... C'mon.. It was Akira who first "fell in love" with Yuuki despite being straight.. So knowing that same guy break up with him saying they weren't really gay anyway broke my heart. It felt like, even if someone pursues you, claiming he's so in love with you and is willing to do anything, in the end, people still change, and so do their feelings. There's no guarantee that you'll always stay the same in their heart. I guess this is why it's really hard for me to imagine myself being with someone again anytime soon. I just feel like I'd just waste time being with someone I won't end up with anyway.. Ugh, got totally sidetracked.. But anyway, I'll keep this in my favorite list. Just to remind me how being afraid of "losing" someone to the point that some will choose to drive them away instead, is just useless. It's better to spend time creating memories with your special someone rather than overthinking of the uncertainties of the future.

already read this ages ago, but left untagged. re-read: 04/24/19 wish i could be as calm as Souji when it comes to my "lover" hehh.. Just.. I'm conflicted. I dunno exactly how to take it. Their relationship is complex, but one that I wish I won't be involved IRL. I just know I couldn't be patient and understanding enough with someone like Mika.. But somehow, I dunno. They just click and match. Hope there's more extra chapters though, especially when Souji's a contract lover. Wanna see Mika's reactions. lol
