Death was truly freedom for them. Although others may say that the ending of this manga is tragic or “a bad ending,” I think that if we look at it from Alan and Hayden’s perspective, it was their means of escape from the things that burdened them. They spent their lives trapped in circumstances that suffocated them. Alan struggled with religion and constantly burdened by guilt because of the beliefs imposed on him and Hayden having his own hardships with his family too. The world around them never gave them the comfort or understanding they desperately needed. Instead, they were forced to endure it for so long... In a world where neither of them had a true home, they found one within each other’s presence. They died together, but they were no longer alone. Their “home” was never a physical place, but being beside each other.
This truly was a good read, even if it tore off a part of my soul. I have never been the same ever since. Everything is written and expressed beautifully. I hope that in another life of Alan and Hayden, life would be much kinder to them.









Woah. I don’t know what words to say to describe how good this story is but I’ll try my best.
This is truly one of the greatest stories I’ve ever read. From the storytelling, the art composition, and the art style too. Everything was so good. The artist did a great job adapting this work, and of course the original author too for writing a story as good as this.
The plot development was seriously so good. It was gut wrenching, but I’m glad it all worked well at the end for both Hakyung and Yoonsung. Both the characters are really written well! And the 18+ scenes really feels intimate. You could really see how much the both of them love each other. I really cried at this because the story.. the writing.. it’s just to good, it really touched the deepest parts of my heart.
I wish to read this for the first time again. 10/10, really recommend!
My favorite line: “Goodbye, my everything. My summertime.” (They really shot me in the heart with this one)
