Wow this is one of those mangas where I was so very much drawn in from page one, at the edge of my seat...!
There's so much emotion in this story, the characters are full of life... I love how the art is complimenting this so well! I read most of Takanaga sensei's works and I like almost all of them but THIS one just has to be my favorite manga (we'll see how good the sequels are)
My mind is blown by this! It's a very moving story, even if it's nothing totally new or detailed or big.
It's a common story of being in love with someone you thought didn't like you back but leaving it all behind you, only to have old and new feelings appear again.
Tsukasa has made it into my top list of favorite characters right within the first few pages already and every single reaction he had in this manga just made me love him more and more.
He's a perfect character! He's melancholic, ambitious, straight forward, impulsive and just very emotional without becoming a typical rage-rape seme! Plus he's damn hot!
All of the 3 main characters are SO lovable! I find it really rare to be liking them all, the main pair plus the rival... it's just perfect and I think you'll also find yourself liking all of them!
None of the things these characters do will make you go "wtf?!" or "oh I wish he hadn't!" no, all the actions are so fitting and they're very human and reasonable.
These characters have faults, they make mistakes and misunderstand things.
But what bothers me with a ton of yaoi out there is that the characters are often the same: they are ignorant, oblivious to what happens, they are unreachable, cold, semes often show no emotion whatsoever and ukes only cry.
And the characters here are not like that. It's all about showing feelings, and I love that so much about this manga!
I know I'm not stopping to praise this manga but I'm seriously overwhelmed by how good it is, and reading Tyrant who Falls in Love I already thought her mangas were really good but this is even a step higher for me.
If you're into boys love manga that will give you all these feelings, feeling sad for characters, putting emotion into what you hope will happen to them, if you find yourself loving characters as if they could be real people, suffering with them... you'll love this manga!
