This story really left me with a lot to contemplate. The individual struggles in the manga are easily relatable, and I found myself pondering what I would do if in same circumstances. There was also so much symbolism behind each chapter... This was a very rewarding read for me. It kind of sparked a lightbulb in me, to be honest.
All in all, if you can tolerate male on male scenes (very mild, and only some will see it that way), this manga should be pretty cool
The hypocritical prince part and the parts about moving on from tragedies and not wallowing in self pity really hit the bull's eye for me. Although not completely, it really applies to me personally... so wow, kudos to author there.
The only parts i didn't like were the ambiguous and confusing relationships between the main love triangle. I mean, why was Sou in love with Mashiro in the first place? And I never quite understood Mashiro's deep love for Sou either. I understood KuredaxMashiro since they needed each other to feel secure about themselves, but i can't see the other side.
However, i really like how the author explored the idea that each and every one of us have different situations that we must deal with, and that little words can break us on the inside when we have a weak mentality. I really admired Kureda in the end too, she really became a character i would root for.
