I remember reading this for the first time when I was around 14 and I cried a lot. It was the middle of the night and I vividly remember tears and snot running down my face as I hiccuped and sobbed, quietly weeping out that the angel boy was real. It was a dramatic reaction I’ll admit, but it’s one i’d end up repeating a number of times more every-time I came back to reread it.
Even though this manga has weird uncomfortable pedophilic undertones, unfortunately so, Its etched a special place in my heart. I definitely think it would’ve been better if they were portrayed as friends or if the angel boy wasn’t a middle schooler but considering the authors previous works…I’m not really surprised unfortunately.
Now that I’m older the undertones aren’t really undertones and I wasn’t able to enjoy it as much when I was younger and too stupid to realize but still, special place in my heart and all.
I actually enjoy mild types of bdsm a lot (I usually read fanfics with bdsm themes). So when I realized there was bl stories including it, obviously I was very interested but my interest has slowly dwindled throughout the years and honestly I tend to avoid bdsm works on here.
So many of them are basically abuse and rape, the characters hardly ever have a relationship behind the play and most of all; a lot of them completely leave out aftercare, which objectively is my favorite part. Not all of them, but a lot of comics end up that way.
Although some parts imo was questionable, this was unexpectedly a very nice read, I liked the characters and their relationship even behind the sm play. Happy to say I enjoyed it, the art was very pretty as well.
