absolute bangers that probably deserve more than the world could ever give

the narration is gorgeous, unique, heart-wrenching and unlike anything i’ve seen before; the art direction is immaculate; the characters are all fascinating; the plot’s complex, intriguing (and make sense). i want to reread everything the minute i finished it some few times, if only to understand everything that’s conveyed in such an impactful manner.

good GOD such a stunning masterpiece.

trauma riddled crybabies trying their best to communicate their way to happiness

a story where the characters’ jobs align perfectly with their personalities. all of the interactions between characters, side or main, are interesting and palpable. the main couple is just so goddamn CUTE, their dynamic is perfect and wonderful. the art is clean and absolutely gorgeous, especially in the first volume.

probably reread this thing ten times or more idkidk i just adore it.

sajou and kusakabe, kusakabe and sajou.
that’s it. that’s the story. and it’s more than enough. sometimes simplicity is the way to my heart. and this here, is simplicity to its finest. magnificent.

punk babies and their mutual love for music and them together.

DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED man I love mafuyu and uenoyama more than anything. they’re my child fr.

watch them grow with each other through the short period that they’ve known each other was wonderful and touching and also have i mentioned the fact that the music they wrote for the animated version are all bangers? have i mentioned the fact that the narrations are SO poetic and lovely? have I mentioned the fact that every character was lovable and flawed how they love and drea-

wishing loves the happily ever after they oh so deserve

SO GOOD GOSH its the best mess in the world frfr mushiba sensei give me whatever the fuck ur on ily ur a genius

i love how much nuance is put into this work, the way trauma, abuse, guilt and forgiveness is portrayed. i love how moving past past mistakes, in this instance, is not through someone being kind and relieve the other of the burden, but the one at fault keeping the memories, good and bad, and try his best to do the right thing.
