KOBA-SAN IS SO COOL?? THE COLLECTEDNESS OF AN ADULT?! Where can I get one of those! And I really love Yugi’s honesty and straightforwardness in love. He's not afraid to try again even after failing, which is worthy of praise.

Chap 4: They need some space to breathe for a bit 😔 I'm sure they're both in shock because the past keeps revisiting them but they're both moving forward in their own way.

Ending: Awww I like that everything wasn't solved immediately. It'll take a lot of time to heal but it's less lonely when you have someone to support you.

Mahk971’s review mentions how Koba goes from saying that he still loves Kobayashi and cant forget him— to entering a relationship with Yugi. I think what this story portrays is that you should value all of your relationships, and you shouldn't have to forget them at all. Did you skip the scene where Yugi addresses this with Koba, and reassures him?

Yugi doesnt have any resentment towards Kobayashi. That would be competing with a ghost. Again, he doesnt get compared to him either. Yugi isn't him, both he and Koba know that.

Kobayashi will always be in Koba’s heart. I wouldn't want to be with someone who didn't honor a love they lost too soon. Someone who knows how to love like that should be valued, which is exactly what Yugi shows he understands.

Overall: Don't let the title image fool you, this is a very intense story. It handles may heavy topics like grief, loss, guilt, fear, trauma. But at the same time, it is a very gentle story. The art style shows the characters' emotions really well. And I don't think the ending was rushed, rather that one arc in the characters' lives ended and the many things and experiences after weren't illustrated for us. But this one arc was illustrated beautifully.

I really liked the character design and the art, it was delicate, gentle and elegant. Story was interesting with lot of heavy themes (coming out, being gay, questioning one’s sexual orientation, death of loved one, trauma etc…) but unfortunately it was inconclusive. The ending was abrupt, it needed one more chapter cause right now there are many loose ends

the art , is pretty that much is true.
the rest I don't even remember anymore , and a read it a couple of days ago.

This manga portrayed the most unrealistic, weird and awkward interactions I've ever seen. People don't tell their whole life issues to the first person they meet, they don't stalk others until they are liked back, and they don't suddenly jump from not even holding hands to having sex... Or maybe they do, but not like this. This manga was a disappointment to me. It tried to cramp a lot of interesting themes into one volume, with the result that not even one was well developed (or even concluded at all). And, again, the interactions made me switch constantly between feeling embarrassed for them and weirded out. Too bad, because the art style was adorable and the author seemed able to properly represent homosexuality.
