This is hauntingly disturbing, painfully beautiful, severely unhealthy, on the verge of insanity. I absolutely adore it. Let me tell you something, I'm reading this in the most beautiful place on earth and I'm feeling so anxious, so troubled, nearly suffocating, you wouldn't believe.
In the beginning it all sounded quite ordinary: nerdy, sweet, ordinary-looking kid meets mysterious school hottie on the rooftop with whom he shares an apparent sense of loss: no heart-pounding. But ever since Kei broke into the picture, I've been in a complete roller coaster. As a reader, a spectator, I don't think I've ever shared these many emotions with the characters. I mean, without spoiling anything, I went so far as to feel disgust for Kei, out of empathy with Roku. And yet, I feel such a myriad of feelings for Kei sometimes I can hardly stand Roku for his "obliviousness", or something...
It's been quite a journey. Future readers, try to bear the very beginning - I know it seems to drag - because it is so worthy. I can't wait for further updates.
