otakulys's manga / #abusive family member(2)

I really like this so far, even though it's like, just get on with it already! I get that it's one of those stories where the entire plot is about the chase, but it's so annoying when they won't just communicate with each other. Either way, good art, interesting story, hot guys. I'm sold.

I debated back and forth on whether or not the black haired guy was just imagining all of this in order to cope with the fact that the blond died before the black haired one could return and save him, or if all of the foreshadowing and hinting didn't mean anything, and it was just a rushed story that could have been a lot better. I'm really on the fence, because all of it, even telling him that they're leaving to get his things, could be him imagining what would have happened if he'd come back in time. I feel like that's more heavily emphasized when the guy is talking about how he left. But if it's a really straight forward story about two guys getting to be together after the other's abusive dad died... well... I mean, if the concept had been fleshed out, it could work, but as it was, it was too short and rushed to have much impact. I don't like sad endings, but in this case, I think the sad ending would have been stronger and made more sense.
