man rereading this now hits different bc in the time since it last updated i went through my own breakup for kind of similar reasons (irreconcilable differences contributed to heavy by communication issues on both ends LMAO) but i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: this author is really good at articulating communication struggles in their work. i think it ended perhaps a little too neatly for the struggles they’ve faced (although maybe that’s kind of the point since a lot of it is that their struggles DID have a pretty simple solution in this case—while “just communicate” doesn’t always work as a solution…. in this case they both wanted to continue the relationship and needed to express themselves properly to each other so once they did after reflecting upon themselves and what they’ve done wrong, things evened out), but it’s clear haruka & kousei are putting the effort into trying to communicate and understand each at least somewhat better now that they’re aware of the gaps in their relationship and i wish them well going forward. i liked this one a lot ultimately
