Life is not easy. Some of us hide their fear and emotions behind their tough attitude and long sleeved/ layers clothes just like Eiji.. His body is representation of his bitter life, his fear or being rejected and his desire to be invisible .. He doesn’t anything to penetrate that shield of clothing .. He doesn’t want to be touched and be in pain.
Then Sakaguchi, who faced rejection and indifference from those who should shower him with love. He lost and parent and was blamed for it. His actions are reflections of his desire to be punished for what happened to his father. He was meant to be elif that his survival from the accident was wong and he was treated all his life with disdain and anger.. He enjoys pain and carve, because he wants to atone !!
2 lost souls , share their sorrow and secrets. They don’t ask for answers , but it their time to be happy .. It seems that both of them was a rock for the other, they were there for each other when no body else cared..
When I first read this it had all these warning tags and people wrote about it like it had scarred them for life, but I really enjoyed it. I found the overall message to be uplifting.
I generally try to avoid sad stories as much as possible but wow am I glad I gave this one a shot! Watching the characters struggle in acknowledging and accepting their past was both mesmerising and inspiring and I'm so glad that they both find happiness. Highly recommended!
Haha this made me cry and realize once again that nobody's gonna come and save me and honestly these kind of stuff only happens in fiction. Yet another comment I write oversharing at this site..
Regardless of how many times i read this manga can't help but to love it. I love how strong the characters. Anyone who can survive that kind of trauma without repeating the cycle of hurting others, becoming a psycho, making excuses for their behavior or just being a twisted individual is truly strong.
