this manga made me experience a lot of feelings T^T from the prologue beginning i could feel a subtle bittersweetness between the two leads. i truly appreciate how diverse this manga really is, from parental relationships, familial relationships, platonic friendships, f/f relationships, m/m relationships, and even leo’s guardians have such a tender, realistic rawness in their bond i was almost driven to tears, just by a few panels. i don’t know if this is because i’ve been consuming a ton of soul shattering, angsty and gritty media - especially queer media - or if because i have been in an unhappy headspace for a period of time, but the sheer vulnerability in this manga were really so... freeing? refreshing? to see. i thought that i was being seen the same way the characters were being seen. especially that conversation around braveness. i think it really changed my perspective on braveness and courage tbh. i really loved how ‘fragility’ was depicted in here... “does being a wimp who gets hurt over every small thing mean it’s wrong for you both to stay together?” - author i beg you please write a book. and possibly be my therapist if you can. and i think it’s ironic how a bl manga highlighted so many things in a society that does not learn to tolerate a certain kind of ‘love’, how vulnerability and fears will always be in a relationship, how we’re all really a little bit afraid at the end of the line. don’t even get me started on the art here!!! the panels say so much in a page, with or without any dialogue, you can quite literally read the emotions on the faces of the characters - their doubts, their fears, their prejudices and thoughts. please give me more vulnerability in my bl. the achillean and men loving men really need it. they need communication & emotions & god i love this manga and author so much, mita ori you are truly a gem.
wanted to pause from where i’m reading (around chapter 60) to just say that this is an absolute gem of a manhua. what a meaningful story with individualistically developed characters and thoughts. it’s really been such a long time since i’ve stumbled on a BL like this. i love the core themes of this so much, because “their beliefs will remain” is so relevant even today. this is a story about hope and how human it is to believe against all odds, how human it is to know that freedom and equality is pivotal for every individual, and how human it is to hope and fight for the rights for it to be so
TT i can’t wait to continue
I can read these mangas many times! I rate them >9.5/10 based on my own preferences, so there will be lots of non-mainstream BL
