nice! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ you took what I was thinking and put it into words. good job! thank you for saying it ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
After reading that, I felt a huge burden leave my shoulders lol. Thank you for putting it into words!
The entire manga in a nutshell. But I think the comments show how people are being triggered. It's easy to personalize things like this but the author is showing us the importance of growing through healing as well as healing through growing.
I'm just at a loss at some of these comments?? Have y'all not experienced the loss of a loved one in your life? Especially someone who was your best friend first? It's hard to get over! Things get easier over time but it's always going to be hard and eating away at you. The hate Mafuyu is getting is so unwarranted.
1) "Uenoyama is a replacement for Yuki" - LOL no he's not you're allowed to have loved more than one person. Mafuyu is still grieving and their relationship is at its early stages. Any good boyfriend and relationship would be one supporting and acknowledging the trauma you went through. I.e Your dead ex shouldn't be a forbidden topic you're allowed to think about him.
2) "Mafuyu is selfish and should say what is on his mind more" - Wouldn't it be a perfect world if we ALL could do that? Mafuyu has come a long way but have you realised he's slowly opening up more compared to his previous relationship (from what we've seen). He's learning from his past mistakes and some people just aren't good with words. It's not a bad thing also he's still learning to communicate better!! (remember the brief argument he had with Uenoyama and wouldn't let him leave because it could've been their last conversation?)
3) "Uenoyama deserves better I feel bad for him" - If you feel bad for anyone it should be Mafuyu?? He literally lost the love of his life, best friend, the person who he confided in and the last conversation they had was a fight. He's traumatised, guilty, locked his emotions away, kept away from all previous connections to Yuki (Hiiragi), he was alone.
Seriously Uenoyama understands what Mafuyu is going through and understands when he got into a relationship with him that Yuki will play a big part in their lives. He understands Mafuyu is still grieving rightfully so and is there for him (ahem he's the perfect boyfriend).
//Anyways Given is about moving on from one relationship to a new one and dealing with that loss. It's a huge part of the manga do you expect him to get over Yuki after a few chapters? Yuki's presence is always going to be in the manga. I'm glad the author is addressing this realistically (which y'all seem to be mad about) instead of the unrealistic I'm over him and everything is sunshine and rainbows in my new relationship.
