imcrazybutimfree's manga / #LOVE IT!!!!(5)

The Borderlands being the place where souls physically go during near-death experiences was not a very surprising plot-twist, but the story in the complex was good af. It studied the human psychology, human instincts of survival and protectiveness towards other human being or towards themselves, it studies their journey of growth and in the end the survivors are all brighter like new people who don’t care about their past anymore. I don’t really care about Arisu and Usagi. I’m so freaking sad that all the survivors don’t remember each other and the impact they had in each others’ lives, especially Doudou, Agni and the legless girl, I wanted to see them becoming a family

The plot itself was nothing much but the concept behind it was very powerful. Akino found his reason to live in Eichi because he gave him the purpose he needed and the necessary to organise his meaningless life towards the reaching of a goal. Eichi was his saviour and muse at the same time, which is a very romantic trope at my advice. Moreover Akino too became a saviour to Eichi, because the love he received from him helped him to overcome his childhood trauma and gave him a key to read his own existence and finally appreciate his own self not only as a model but first of all as a human being. But still, they both love and at same time “use” each other to leave a mark on the world in their own way. Very interesting!! I don’t rate it with five stars only because some things were kinda confused, like the whole matter about Akino actually spreading the rumour about Eichi and his drama co-star. I didn’t really get it why he did that (I guess he was searching for visibility for his collection? but still, was it really necessary?) and what was part of his “bigger plan”? Maybe he wanted to get Eichi to open up and move on? Who knows, it’s not clear at all :/
