why was i sobbing at 10am homealone. there's so much to discuss about this chapter that i don't know where to begin!!! it was such a nice wrap up about og hikaru though
i wish to get a sequel with their college days, it'd be so nice if they shared universe with terakuma~~ (づ￣ ³￣)づ i just want to see my babies
omg ikr i love that couple sm too
i really should re-read the whole thing again someday, i started reading around the time the movie was announced. i've grown up reading this and i've seen myself in shun during all of his phases, and i will keep doing so until i reach his age, i think. he gives me hope that, despite everything, i'll be alright.
that aside, it's probably because it's been a while, but the pace for this volume felt so different than the usual, some chapters were short but thankfully they got longer towards the end, that was nice. i liked the unfiltered mention of an aromantic person as well, it was probably more of a translation thing but i still find it so important to talk explicitly about other queer identities.
i have so many things to say about this. i wouldn't mind if next volume were to be the last one, i feel like it'd be good enough, though i would love to see their relationship develop more and more to a healthier stage, just the two of them. i keep thinking mio has stuff yet to sort out but everything had been so shun-focused... i think i'll be satisfied if i know they are steady. and shun falls in love with writing again. oh lord i could write essays about them...
though i'll admit the pace was a tiny bit over the place compared to other works of sensei's... not exactly rushed per se, but definitely a different pace... i'd say overall it's a solid 8/10(⌒▽⌒)
yoriko-sensei's works are always peak... this is amazing, i will be patiently waiting for the extra
how come this is the last volume kawa ni sazami (i am pretty sure i forgot the name) has been going for ten years... though arguibly less content ofc but still (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
bless those who still feel like monsters... oh my sons please be happy for the rest of your lives... i loved all the queer metaphors. I'm so happy i read this when i already accepted myself, i don't know what would've happened with me if this came out when i was twelve and deep in denial. oh yoshiki you're so me and i love you :(
