this manga made me think a lot of things

reading this manga is just so beautiful, by the time i was done reading chapter 2 i was already a mess reading through the manga, as a burned out nsg student i relate to toui so much, i burn myself out every single day trying to finish the damn deadline i have in college and also balancing duty while caring for people (i love where i am but it takes a toll sometimes) and then my stuff is all a mess from the whole week of work, pressure and stress, after caring for so many pts, caring for me only lasted a day and it was usually me sleeping for hours

im so bad at communicating my thoughts that i relate to toui so much when it came to not chasing tsukushi, because same bro i wouldnt do that too because i'd think to myself "he defo deserves someone better" LIKE I KNOW WHAT TOUI DID IS BAD AND COMMUNICATION IS GOOD AND I'D BE SCREAMING LIKE BRO JUST SAY YOU WANT HIM BACK but i just get the man why he did that you cant make me hate him really, AND MAN UGHHH, if tsukushi left him forever without any closure at all, i would have cried so much because i started thinking to myself "if tsukushi didnt accept him for who he is probably no one would also love me in my state rn as well the same way toui was too" yes im single and i know i shouldnt be projecting and i know i should be better and i try everyday but its just man toui hits so hard right now, and i get tsukushi too, being with someone whos so in their own head space only and doesnt think about the state of their relationship, its heavy, its painful, its tiring, but man...

its such a good story of communication, balancing out traits to love with one another, accepting the flaws of your partner and talking through things especially after a 4 year relationship, when things start to die down and old habits resurface back because of how comfortable you are with one another, it just makes so much sense UGHHH AHHHHH AUTHOR NIM YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD WRITER i love this manga sm
