otakulys's manga / #misunderstandings(3)

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.

Very sad. Beautiful art, complicated human emotions. Reading the comments made me think I should skip this, but it ended up being painful in a satisfying way, rather than in a way that destroyed me. I actually preferred the complicated, messy story to the first story. I'm not a fan of incest, for one, but it was also just more typical and cliche than the second story. Didn't hate it, though. I haven't read the precursor manga, so I was sort of filling in the blanks as I went, but I appreciated the nature of the character unfurling, these people lashing out, hurting others so that they can feel your own hurt, etc. Definitely sad, and it leaves a little empty feeling in your gut, but... I've seen much worse. At least they're still trying. (Just from this, though, I wish Sato would dump Akira and find someone better. He's the only one who doesn't seem redeemable, but maybe he's featured in the first story?)

Skimmed it mostly, partly because I wanted to see if it would just be endless misunderstandings, which I hate. Seems to be the case, but after they clear things up, I might go back and read it again, knowing how it ends. All he freaking wants in life is to be bound to his best friend, but he thought they never could. Now he has the chance, and he's like, I only wanted it when you were a beta! For some reason. People, drama doesn't have to just come from characters being incredibly inconsistent and evasive!
