God damn. I was rereading this manga and the vibes really have been downhill since chapter 179. That's almost 5 years and 100 chapters of the author making me sad on purpose. Don't get me wrong, I love the drama and the intrigue, and I think everything is well-written, but what I wouldn't give for a moment of triumph or fluff to alleviate the soul-crushing empathy I feel for these characters and their suffering.
Trying to find a manga about this really nice high school boy I read some time ago. The whole story is literally about what a wholesome and normal kid he is. The boy was just a normal looking guy with dark hair and glasses. I think eventually a girl at his school develops a crush on him after he helps her. This ringing any bells for anybody?
This manga sure is something. In Chapter 1, we learn the MC was mostly fine with the possibility of an old man sneaking into his room and sexually assaulting him. And in Chapter 4, we learn the love interest was an adult when he met and fell in love with the then child MC. I guess they're a match made in heaven then. And let's not even get started on all the bullshitery going on in the brother's story.
