am at a loss for words… This is definitely a love triangle romance, but I actually loved this? Which is kind of ironic because I tend to stay away from stuff like that. I really liked how this manga touches on the struggles of people who aren’t “normal” in society, but what even is normal? This really explores the struggles of youth and their struggles towards the future, young love, women and sexism, queerness, toxic masculinity, etc. The storytelling is great, full of complexities and nuances. All the characters have their own perspectives on things, and it feels so realistic that way. I love how they communicate honestly, and it makes everything so raw and refreshing. This is such an EXPERIENCE, and the art is lovely— and I just have so much praise for this. I would say this is kind of lacking in the romance department, but you could also say this is more school life/slice of life.
