So i really liked this manga in the beginning and the way it started i really loved but i felt a lot of the tension from the early part of the story was replaced by fluff and comedy. I dont mind the comedy but there is enough fluff out there and i expected from the way this manga started for the Author to have more "Original" concepts because thats what drew me in the first place.
Comedy spot on ill give it that.
Im probably gonna drop this manga if it doesnt pick up the pace and gets back to the meat of it.
That being said i appreciate how the author told a different story from the usual same old we get. The whole "bromance" turning into a real relationship and all the complication, self hatred and fear of having the person you adore think that you are disgusting really hit home even if i didnt have a crush on my BFF, because ..... hes a acne ridden gnome to put it kindly. And also his personality is funny but in no way attractive.
PS: Heres a story from my personal life for anybody that cares.
So when i was around like 10 me and my family moved to Scandinavia because my Dad got like a good job. I actually got to choose if i wanted to move too but its not really a choice because most 10 year olds dont wanna abandon their Dad. Anyways i was a really shy Kid and losing like all my friends instantly didnt make me very happy. Also my dad only fed me junk food for like 2 months because .... thats how he feeds himself aswell.
So basically fat, shy and in a strange new country i wasnt doing to well and i spent most breaks alone going around a fireplace in circles for some reason. Anyway there was this kid who noticed me being all alone and he started just walking in circles with me. We did it for 3 fucking years too, every morning in front of the school walking in circles. Of course after a couple weeks we started talking, i was shy not fucking braindead. So we became like BFF's (not the gnome). I was like really attached to him. LIKE REALLY. I was so fucking excited when he invited me to his birthday. Anyways 3 years of good times and honestly the only 3 good years i had over there in the North he fucking vanishes with his family literally overnight. I thought he was sick or something until i found out he moved.
I was sobbing man, which is completely normal when losing your friend. After that my teenage years spiraled out of control as i hit one depression after the other fuelled by Gaming addiction. When i was around 15 i was thinking in bed about the good times i had as a 7 year old and onwards and then i was suddendly thinking of HIM again and realised. The way i looked at him, talked to him, was overly protective of him, hated all of his friends because i didnt like it when he didnt spend time with me, the way i remember him. I was deeply crushing on him, and i started fucking crying again. I went niagra falls on my fucking bedsheets man.
If this was one of these books we all like to read here i am probably gonna meet him in 2-8 years but we all know thats not how this works. Honestly he saved me when i was in a dark place even if it only was for a couple years. I later found out he contacted those friends i was jealous of (who were now my friends) and visited them and stuff. He didnt even mention me appearntly, didnt reach out nada. To this day im afraid that he understood sooner than me what was going on and is disgusted by me and hates me. But to be honest at this point finding out hes Straight (which face it its statistically the most likely) would be a relieve to an extent if it only ment seeing my Friend again who ment so much to me and the thought that i wont see him ever again is so Painfull sometimes. I turned 20 this april.
Anyways i just felt like telling this story because thats what this Manga reminded me of, no idea why i felt 02:30 in the morning is a good idea to write this but hey. Anyone reading this has full permission to steal this for their own story because even though i too want to make comics and manga (just not yaoi) it would be too painful for me to draw. If its even intresting enough. Sorry for the Bad ending Life sometimes just sucks fat pee pee.
