I didn't read this sooner bc I wanted to let it marinate, and I didn't want to hop on the hype train, but this is good.
The art is beautiful, the story-telling is pretty natural (things don't feel rushed). And most of all, Lyle is the cutest, most lovable character ever. He needs to be protected at all cost. Does he have misunderstandings? Yes. Does he hide his pain when he should just communicate? Yes. Does he have self-esteem issues? Yes. But that is what makes him human. He doesn't realize how amazing he is, and he is humble.
As for Ash, I love how pretty/handsome he is. He is definitely a pretty boy and his smiles are beautiful. He also treats Lyle so well. One thing i don't like is that sometimes he goes too far. With the dirty jokes and "punishments" that can be hot, but it makes my heart tug for Lyle who is just confused or sad.
I loved that Lyle's family became supportive. Though I do think it is kind of crazy that it took his mom 33 years to see that Lyle was pushing himself too hard and to say I LOVE YOU. Like, did no one think that his lack of emotion was a serious sign of depression?!
Anyway... their interactions were so sweet and I loved it. 10/10, would read again.
