best description is "days of our lives-ish" (the tv series)
Someone's candle snuffed out & at the same time a new one's started. Such is the circle of life.
It's long & plot-heavy w/ a very touching happy ending. After all the things they became and the tough life, separating and reuniting situations they had as gay men, still in the end they are happy.

my heart hurts from all the regrets and loneliness. It's like a thick air that surrounds the whole manga making it sadder chap. by chap. seme maintains a physical relationship with a human but never dared to ask about his feelings. He's lost the right for that since he's now a monster. recommended!
second chance in love? happy end

Oh my heart. This story, I recommend for any romance and drama-loving readers. It's heartbreaking and cute. A couple with different personalities and that got in the way. It's all games at first but the heart started growing fond and now it only brings pain.

melancholic, drama, bitter
it's the kind of bittersweetness that is SO devastating. it DID make other people cry.
especially the story setup of a "love that can never be". lethal heart destroyer, especially the ending. unrequited love and an arranged marriage that cemented the doom of a love that can never be.
bad ending for the couple.

#painful love triangle.
ch. 1-3: what's difficult is they did not chose to be in it but the circumstances created this thus effectively destroying all three boy's dreams. but at least readers were left with a silver lining in the end. "Be happy". And i'm sure the MC would be.

god i'm so tired of bad ends for couples. but this manga had a vice like grip on me I can't put it down.
