Meet 5 men: P,R,I,D and E. Each has their own very different personalities, with their own story. All of them are connected in some way, whether it may be as a romantic interest, a lover, a family member or as a friend. As different events happen in their lives, they each have different ways in which they deal with it.

Its actually pretty deep

I was not prepared to be attacked like this.

Just

So much emotion
Uke dies down in the end
Story is kinda like a poem of a person expressing how they feel

No. Too confusing. Too sad. Just no. I’m not mature enough to read this meaning I still have a liking for cliche love stories.

Needs a re-read. But a great character study. The side couple, though not my fav, were easier to understand. The main triple, esp P, their complexity is hard to understand. But I love it regardless.

5 assholes try (and fail) to keep each other from being even bigger assholes through endless inner monologue about abstract concepts composed of loosely connected to each other sentences.

I and P's relationship can be crudely reduced to "-let me be your goth gf -no way you're puppy seme fr"

I's less than optimal plan to pair up two depressed artists predictably backfires because yaoi still exists in a universe where therapy for high functioning adults doesn't exist. Can't even blame the guy, seing that he was going through a crisis of his own but the plot seems to skip past his issues, trying to make the reader believe that he's the "sane one".

My biggest, probably only problem, was the dialogue. There's being poetic and there's being lost in fluff. I kept getting annoyed at the scarcity of hard facts in the backstory of these people, reading through 6 chapters to find only bits of info to put together and try to understand them. I usually enjoy A LOT when there's a huge reveal hidden amongst what looks like filler at first glance, I like to congratulate myself for paying attention and being rewarded with a deeper understanding of the story but this particular writing style got me out of the zone constantly. I feel like some ideas were butchered with poor translation which I try to never complain about because a good read with poor grammar is better than no read at all and I'm for ever grateful for the translator's efforts. Still, I'm sure a lot of the weight of the story was lost somewhere between the awkward back and forth conversations and sentences that seem at times randomly inserted into the exposition.

Out of all the characters, E strikes me as the most relatable and at the same time, the worst developed one. His lines are infuriatingly full of empty platitudes and grandiose declarations that lead to nowhere; "then I won't hesitate anymore". What?
Even with what I consider to be a bad presentation, the character is easily understandable. I get it, I get him, I realize how selfish he seems to everyone, I know the pain of reaching goals that were never his own and I understand how draining, exhausting and painful it is to be just fucking empty and alone. A successful career, a supporting family, friendships with peers, reaching almost perfection in your craft, all means nothing when you're filled with nothing. P had his trauma, I had his heartbreak, R had his memories, Ambassador had his desires, all the cast had something to hold on to but E didn't. I sensed the tragedy from a mile away since the first time his relationship with P was portrayed as a positive thing for them. I believe it was intentional misdirection, and it was a damn good one.

So yeah good shit man also everything looks soooo pretty wow
