Aris's manga / #gods(1)

SHOUNEN AI - LIGHT READ: 5/9/2020, REREAD: 1 time(s) SUMMARY: Shin, born to a race of winged messengers, faces life as an outsider due to the tiny deformed wings on his back. Flightless, he endures ridicule and loneliness. His people tend to the needs of the Gods who reside in the same mountains, and unexpectedly, he is tasked with the care of the mysterious God residing at Mountain 32. A troubling future looms ahead as Gods and Messengers have begun to disappear without trace. What danger awaits Shin and his people, and the Gods they care for? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTERS: MC - Shin ML - Baku (The God on Mountain 32) SC(s) - Nushi-Sama (The God on Mountain 1), Sanzashi, The Water God (The God on Mountain 6), Yatsude, Fuji, Shino, and Nagi (the three kids) REVIEW: I absolutely adored reading this. The art is gorgeous and the chemistry between Shin and Baku is perfection. I almost cried when I was reading Chapter 5, because I felt the pain Baku felt when he decided to lock away Shin's memories of him. I mean, he was preventing the one he was in love with from remembering him. The author did well with the setting, too. I also liked the side characters a lot. Sanzashi, although he seems like an antagonist at first, is really nice. He's just a bit too serious which makes him seem mean. Nushi-sama was also an enjoyable character. He was very entertaining to read about, especially with his interactions with Sanzashi. And I do hope Yatsude and The Water God finally get together. Reading about how she and Yatsude got to know each other made me kind of proud of Yatsude. I also hope that the three kids grow up nicer, they kind of feel like jerks, but the funny kind.
