aerox3's manga / #Romance(153)

Although I absolutely hate the rape element, I love almost everything else about this story. Shizuku is such a good kid and is the perfect example of how effective communication can solve so many problems. Not that I blame Naoto for low self-esteem and issues with expressing himself properly after everything that has happened it. It's only to be expected that standing up for himself against a society that looks down on what he is rather than respecting who he is. Hazuki is the gold standard really. The self-control he has and the unwavering love and affection for Naoto and Shizuku is just the best.

Wow that was a ride. Sehyun went through so much just because his benefactor was dealing with his own issues. Michael says that only he could understand what Sehyun is going through and that they should love each other because of how shitty their lives were but doesn't realize that he's basically the reason Sehyun life went to shit? Like sure Sehyun was going through a rough time when he ran away, but it's not like his personality was twisted at that point. The amount of hurt and comfort and discussions of regret is so comforting in a strange way. We may not all experience the same sort of violence and sadness in our lives like the characters in this story but we do experience shitty times all the same. Elena is truly the best mother figure and support system. She's so strong to be able to move on from the pain that has been inflicted upon her and she tried her best to help Boris and then Sehyun pick themselves up. Such complex characters and motivations...
