Strange, but Oddly Good

by sofistree

Rating: N/A

This is not a happy or a goofy manga. I don't mind at all, because sometimes I get so tired of the fluff. It's a look at how a guy's life went exactly the way he didn't want it to, and it ends when he starts trying to get back to living. Chikara simultaneously interested me and freaked me the heck out. I didn't love any of the characters, but that was because they weren't really lovable. They're interesting, dark, and kept me kind of enthralled in the story, though.

I'd give it a try if you want something more serious than the usually fluff. Not that there's anything wrong with fluff. 🙂

The angst feels man...

I love the angst and realism portrayed in this story. I HATED the way they made Chikara talked. It made he seem retarded or something when it's only his voice that has an accent. Other than that I liked Shinichi's character. Regardless of his his flaws and cruel personality, I can't deny that I can relate to him. Everyone has the feeling of wanting to boost their ego even if there's no passion in doing so before. Yet I do admire Chikara's personality too... Although I find him to be kind of creepy. I don't blame Shinichi for some of the stuff he says to Chikara cause some of it was over the top, but he was still leading Chikara's on and so I can see why Chikara was mad.although it's depressing but I love a good angst so I recommend it to you.

I thought 'Noway theyll have a happy ending'
But..they did, even it's just a smile and a grab, It's satisfy me so much after all tragedy and sadness and depreesing stuffs~
It's a simplest way a happy ending can show

Well "Sometime, you have to give up". I'll remember this line for a really long time 🙂

Going interesting places.

I impatiently await each new release. I have a hunch that I'll be boosting my rating up to 10 once I've read the whole thing. Chikara's a very unique and complex character, so much so that I have no idea what twists this plot will take.

Adoration

by Pacific.Mint

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

A love in which one half absolutely adores the other. "If you abandon me, I'd die." A story about a devoted lover falling in love with his beloved and living life even when he was abandoned. A story about a disloyal lover learning to let go of his ego and the things that torture his life and embrace the genuine small bits of happiness.

If you've enjoyed this manga, I would highly recommend Hako no Naka (Novel), written by the same author. Both has a devoted and 'naive' male lead.

Great

I loved this so much. It made me cry. Chikara is a hero for becoming an unknown poet. And he teaches his conceited lover to become a martyr too. The end of youth means the end of self-conceitedness. Finally you can start living for someone else. So beautiful and true.

There's no 'soul'

by bossmama

Unlike in Inio Asano's works. His works are mostly realistic and depressing too, and this manga pale in comparison. While I read this manga, I just sit there, unmoved, distant. Maybe this manga just didn't have what it takes to be connected with me.

Chikara is annoying and unreasonable. Shinichi is pathetic. Actually those aren't bad points, considering this is a realistic-theme manga. But I don't see what they see in each other. If only the author showed us what it is, and not just told us.
