Depressing and beautiful.

by keyracunan

Rating: N/A

This series didn't catch my attention at first. High-school. An awkward glasses geek from the photography class. A cool and mysterious guy on the rooftop with a dark past.Seems like an overused plot that I want to skip (School-themed yaoi isn't my fave to begin with) . But since I subscribe to CRAFT for Takarai Rihito's series, I accidentally keep reading this series.

And whoa, the "overused"ness is only a door to something totally pitch black and depressing. If you're a masochist, read this because it'll hurt you A LOT. The intense expression, the serene movement, their hurtful dialogue - I also follow Rutile to read Acid Town, and IMO Sora wo Daite Oyasumi is more depressing than Acid Town.
Mainly because Acid Town shows hopes, way out and a will to survive. Sora wo Daite doesn't.

Personally I really don't see how this manga could end with a happy ending, neither with bad ending, because the worst has happened already (or so I think so far, who knows there'll be a twist). I'm afraid this is one of those series whose ending leaves you hanging, empty, thirsty, but strangely adore how beautiful it was.

This story is so beautifully painful. It gave me the shivers thro chapters 7-9.
I really hope the mangaka will continue it, or this would be just too sad for it to end in the middle of a scene.

(Does anyone know if there are only 9 chapters of it or if there are any more chapters that are just unscanlated?)

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.

Bond.

Ah! Another unique and good-to-read series of Kyuugou-sensei. The story greatly emphasizes the bond between twins and that would make the story so deep that it makes me eager to see and read the next chapter. Though, it takes a long time to be updated, it's still worth waiting. Love it. 🙂

This manga is tragically beautiful. The pain and suffering of Kei and Roku is so real, so much ANGST! I find Kei's character to be sooo uke-sexy! I got to say he's my fav character. I'm so impatient to see what's going to happen and what really happened. I feel like there is a lot more to the story. I just hope the author doesn't drop this manga or I'll cry tears of blood.

I get why the mangaka dropped this series

There were definitely pacing issues, it was going on a tangent for too long, and ultimately it's hard to get it back on track and give every single character a satisfactory ending when the story had been pushed so far in that direction. Having said that, Kyuugou's portrayal of a hopeless, destructive forbidden love that brings one to the point of insanity was absolutely heartbreaking and powerful; you can feel all the raw emotions of pain and guilt eating away the twins as they both slowly descended into their personal hell. Neither of them was at fault, it was just a tragic story all around and there really was nothing that could save them. Which is why it's impossible to continue expanding it without changing the manga's tone and leading it into a completely different direction, and sensei probably didn't want that and for good reasons.
I personally thought she did an excellent job dissecting Kei's psychologies, how he was driven to despair little by little, and why he resorted to his actions as a coping mechanism to the pain. He's a complex character but I feel like I could understand and even sympathise with him, which is entirely thanks to the mangaka's execution. She's without a doubt a very talented manga writer and artist, just needs better planning next time to give us a finished story haha.

The whole story was beautiful. It's rare to see such amazing plot in yaoi. This is the 1st time i want the main character in a manga to die, cuz i think only death can bring him peace, the pain is just too much for him to endure. This is definitely one of my favarite yaoi<3

Usually I can't stand this kind of dark and twister storyline but I can't stop reading now. I have to know how it will end! I just hope that someone will find some kind of happiness. If not.. well then I'm screwed.
