boy falls in love with drug addicted cafe owner and is sucked into his world of drug misuse and overdoses. years later, the pair reunite though it seems mr. cafe owner hasn't changed all that much.
part of the walker series?- this seems to focus on bun and akio, but are there chapters missing? to be found elsewhere? the ones here repeat themselves. akio is an addict and bun is sort of his angel, a topic that bonds them together. explores the lines between nurturing and romantic love, and the difficulties of being an adult with problems/who live outside mainstream society. this author writes interesting, flawed, real characters and i'd like to find the rest of the series.
I'm finally getting around to re-reading/fully reading all of Miyamoto Kano's work, but I'm pretty confused by some of the order here. This particular manga was oddly ordered on the site. I'm hoping I didn't miss anything. Maybe I should just find the DL to be sure. Anyway, this is her early work, so it didn't have some of the same emotional impact that I can usually find in her work. Still, it's a nice start, and I love how she has stories that span over multiple characters, etc. Not Love up next...
