FAQ STARTED FEB 16 / UP TO DATE MAR 10/ LAST EDIT JUNE 7
Changes: I'M NOT UPDATING THIS ANYMORE UNLESS THERES A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

August: guys. The information here does not apply anymore. Idk whats going on with the site anymore but no information here applies.
Keeping it up as an archive

YES YOU CAN EDIT YOUR LISTS NOW. IF IT HASN'T COME BACK YET IT'S LOST
DEVS DO NOT SEEM TO BE EDITING STUFF ANYMORE THIS FAQ IS VERY OUTDATED
AND NO I AM NOT COMING BACK TO EDIT IT ANYMORE
I HAVE LOWK QUIT THIS SITE BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION

SUMMARY:
・ONLY RATED/TAGGED IS COMING BACK. THE REST IS NOT. (disk crash/ info loss)
・NO. This was not done on purpose. Don’t send hate to the developers!
・Please be careful when editing your lists! More info below.
・The only way to recover the rest of your lists now is to do it manually.
・Make a back-up of your lists off-site! (spreadsheet/ mangaupdates/ etc.)
ㅤ‣ 'lists' will refer to your 'read/reading/already read’ lists
ㅤ‣ while 'custom lists' will refer to these lists: http://www.mangago.me/listtag/

Disclaimer: I AM NOT A MOD OR DEVELOPER! Extended disclaimer below.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A QUESTION DON'T REPLY TO THIS THREAD PLEASE

The list recovery info is outdated now, but I recommend you read Suujin's FAQ too!
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/

=~=~+~=~= WHAT HAPPENED =~=~+~=~=
Q: What happened? Why is my read/ reading/ want to read list gone?
・EVERYONE'S lists disappeared after MGGO crashed JAN 26 likely due to traffic
・The developers were recovering lists, but the disk containing list data crashed + data was lost.
ㅤ‣ Proof http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21155166
ㅤ‣ Photo Proof http://www.mangago.me/home/photo/50674750
・They can only recover stuff to your lists via rated/tagged receipts after ~Feb 4
ㅤ‣ Before Feb 4, you may have gotten unrated/untagged works back.
・This data loss is likely why the site recovery is taking longer than usual.
Still don't understand? http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21091022/ (ty seabi)

In regard to the site future: http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21014248/
・The situation with THAT SITE is scary, but I believe this site will stay up as it always has.
・Just remember, this site isn't legal anyways, so it’s a good idea to back stuff up!

=~=~+~=~= EDITING LISTS =~=~+~=~=
Q: Can I edit my lists? (Yes? but…)
・Yes, but be careful please and make a back-up off-site. I have seen users have issues
・You may have issues, you may not. But I wouldn’t say everyone is 100% safe
・A common issue is stuff disappearing after you added it, so follow the advice below.
・If you’re recovering your lists, I have suggestions in [OTHER QUESTIONS]
・Devs may still be recovering stuff. If you re-add something it overwrites the original date.

When editing/ adding stuff please:
ㅤ‣ After adding an entry, go to that list to check it is there.
ㅤ‣ If not, refresh after ~10 seconds. If still not there, add it again.
ㅤ‣ Update your off-site backup whenever you change something.
ㅤ‣ If it still gets deleted after you confirmed it was in your lists, DM me.

List of issues I’ve seen here: http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21451186/

EXPORT: User Gurl (www.mangago.me/home/people/3402357) has created a way to export your lists
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Drj0CviUhrAmZlU-DC-AtxGFQoH1_PYQ81b2Vzu82w/

=~=~+~=~= MORE ON LISTS =~=~+~=~=
Q: But I heard we were getting everything back? (OUTDATED)
・After list data was lost, it was confirmed we're not getting EVERYTHING back ANYMORE.
・They managed to recover up to early 2022 before the disk crash last I heard.

Q: Why is everything in ‘Already read’ + Why is deleted stuff back?
・Everything was seemingly being added to 'already read' before list data was lost.
・SPECULATIVE: Unrated but tagged: goes to “Want to read.” If both: goes to “Already Read”
・They are likely recovering stuff to your lists if it has ever been marked as being in there.
・A user had works recovered to their lists that have been deleted off the site.

=~=~+ COMMON ISSUES + SITE RECOVERY + NOTIFICATIONS? +~=~=
Q: I commented OR added something to my list/ custom list/ album why is it not showing up?
・The database + what you're seeing aren't synced due to the site recovery. (Suujin's FAQ)
・You might need to wait ~20 seconds then refresh to see if it's updated.
・If it's not there, try again + refresh again. Sometimes it just won't go through at all.
・Sometimes, the entry just won’t go through. (CAN HAPPEN TO LISTS)

Q: Why am I constantly getting logged out?
・This seems to be a mobile-only issue. Maybe read on PC for no interruptions.
・Something about the login session not being tracked properly. (see Suujin's FAQ)

Q: Are they still recovering my lists? (Maybe)
・As long as the works were rated or tagged. With no announcement, it's safe to assume it's ongoing.
・Even if list recovery is over, the site recovery is still ongoing
・Why I think so: a few users have books added years ago in between recent entries. Likely recovered.
・A user had a 2011 entry in between Mar 6/26 entries. They think it might’ve been recovered.
・If you *know* you tagged/rated stuff and it’s not back yet, you may just need to wait.
・If they aren’t back AFTER they announce everything’s ok, maybe send them an email.

Q: What about my notifications?
・Stuff is not in your lists (notifications only come from 'reading' and 'already read')
・The notification system is just not working properly. (Seems so after Mar 9 issues)
・You aren't subscribed to the title.

・You might not get notifications sometimes, so I suggest:
ㅤ‣ Checking your history and looking for the "have new update after your last reading"
ㅤ‣ Remembering the update schedule of your favourite works/ check them weekly.

=~=~+~=~= OTHER QUESTIONS =~=~+~=~=
Q: What can I do to recover my lost titles (MANUAL)
・Go through your comments/ on-site history/ lists, etc.
・Check your browser history. Most browsers only save up to ~3 months of history.
・Go through lists with tags you're interested in (www.mangago.me/listtag/)
・Ask for some stuff in the questions section! Some people have lists they'd like to share or remember titles you've forgotten.

Q: What about the comments section + my personalised comments?
・There is no information on when/if this is coming back. They might not.

Q: Can I email someone? (TLDR: DO NOT!!!!) + Uploading new manga
・I suggest not. The developers are very busy and haven't been responding since mid Feb.
・It's expected as they're a small team and this is a big site.

Due to this, uploading new manga is seemingly on hold, but here is a guide anyways
http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/1077438/ (Method is in page 7 of the comments)
You might need to email them again after they announce they’ve stopped working on stuff.

=~=~+~=~= REMINDERS =~=~+~=~=
・We do not know what state the devs are at with site + lists recovery, especially after the disk crash
・There is no confirmation if recovery is over
・There is no timeline as to when stuff will be fixed
・The site is still unstable - you may come across issues.
・I am not a developer/ insider - I can't fully confirm/ deny things

=~=~+~=~= DISCLAIMER =~=~+~=~=
I’ve seen people saying… things about me so I made this disclaimer.
This FAQ is created based on user’s experiences + theories from users with backgrounds in IT. I’m trying to make sense of stuff based on what little information we have and hopefully provide answers to confused users. I never said my words were strictly the truth. I always say 'maybe’.
I can't confirm nor deny if lists are safe to edit. I’m not a developer. It’s been a month without major issues, so I’ve changed my opinion. But based on recent user experiences, I still advise people to be careful

=~=~+~=~= THANK YOU + QUESTIONS FOR ME =~=~+~=~=
I'll be editing this to include answers to more questions I've seen + any new info.
After an edit, comments get wiped until someone comments again.

Also thank you to everyone sharing this link + other's links! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
If anyone has any other information they'd like me to include + want to share, DM me!
If you think something isn't explained well/ I need to re-write for clarity + you have something you want me to add, DM me through the site.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A QUESTION, DON’T REPLY TO THE THREAD!!!

=~=~+~=~= RECENT UPDATE =~=~+~=~=
MARCH 10: I’ve made major edits here. If you can’t understand it anymore, please let me know

Please don’t get mad at me for changing my opinion on editing lists. I’ve been thinking of changing my advice since the end of February, especially as some people have been okay. But as others faced issues, I was torn. I was also scared to change it because I would possibly face backlash, and it went against someone’s advice. I’m sorry. You’re allowed to be upset with me, just don’t attack me please.
This situation has overwhelmed me. I might take a few days off from the site, so if you need to contact me, please DM me.

Someone emailed the devs and apparently got a response saying it was okay to edit lists. This was a while ago. I don’t know how I missed that information. I'm sorry. I still advise you to be careful though, due to the issues I’ve seen.

MARCH 22: Yea, I've been really happy lately now that I'm not dealing with this, so I'm going to completely stop keeping track of the situation. Ts genuinely ruined my mental, even though it wasn't that serious (〜￣△￣)〜

let me give you all one last heads up. Some of you out there are stating to go ahead and mess with the lists because they aren't locking you out anymore. please ignore those people. Here's why. They really don't understand computers, software and websites apparently. If a hardware piece of a computer, in this case the server goes down (aka fries) you have to put new software into it. then have to make it connect to the other parts of the server. then you have to make sure it can link with the website. after that can you start to try and get back the information from the fried server part. ONE PAINFUL FILE AT A TIME!!!
Locking everyone out of their lists also locks the devs out. it doesn't work having to lock you out, work on the page unlock it, check it, go back to locking it, pull the file (in this case a manga) put it up on the list. unlock check to see if its there, lock the thing again and repeat until all the files are pulled.
it's easier to leave things unlocked and pull and just going back and forth to check.
IF the devs REALLY wanted to be jerks, they'd lock the whole site to everyone and hey guess what, none of us would be able to read anything until the glitch was fixed. So be happy you can still read mangas right now AND LEAVE YOUR LISTS ALONE!!

UPDATE: AND THE FIRST RUN IS DONE!!

From here on out Mgo should make several runs to load everyone's data correctly and apply bug fixes, so dont worry if your list is still missing some. A full second pass could push it to Feb 4–5, but a partial cleanup run would likely finish around Feb 2–3.

Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. Its best to give it at least 2 weeks from now. If after everything finishes and youre still seeing clear errors in your marked mangas, report them to [email protected]

If possible, keep a small log of your observations and what you did, such as:
⠀⠀⠀*whether you re-added, edited, or deleted mangas during restoration
⠀⠀⠀*any repeated issues (random logouts, missing notifs, errors, etc.)
⠀⠀⠀*the other specific errors you noticed
Simply put, keep a log of WHAT YOU DID/OBSERVED and WHEN (use GMT or if in your local time, specify your timezone). The more specific your report is, the easier it is for the devs to trace what went wrong. It helps them replicate your actions so they can actually find and fix the problem

Here's an example log:
2026-01-26 9PM: I noticed my list went missing
2026-01-28 2AM: my list is restoring up to 67
2026-01-28 9PM: I added 10 mangas to my Already Read
2026-01-30 6PM: my restored mangas is stuck at 67
2026-01-31 10AM: my list count is increasing again it restored up to 83
2026-01-31 7PM: I added 3 mangas to my Want to Read



Read the FAQs here: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/

Just wait patiently yall. Your mangas will be back.
I'll be updating the date of restored mangas here so if you want to be notified, follow this post

Let me start by saying that everything Im sharing comes from spending many years on this site, observing patterns across multiple accounts, and reading user reports. Im not the dev, mod, or admin but Ive had experience with systems which is why I can answer your “whys” and “what ifs”


THIS IS THE SITUATION
Jan19 - Bto closes
⠀⠀⠀*start of traffic surge to Mgo
⠀⠀⠀*some features have slowed down a bit
Jan24 - Mgo goes down
⠀⠀⠀*caused by backend updates or overloaded servers
Jan26 - Mgo comes back up
⠀⠀⠀*site is online again but very buggy: missing lists, random logouts, slow pages, no notifications, etc
⠀⠀⠀*this is when the system started gradually restoring lists

WHY IS THE SITE SO BUGGY
- Mgo uses separate parts for different things. One to SAVE your manga data (aka database/the memory), another one to DISPLAY your saved Manga data (aka UI/what you see), and another one for your browser/session data (aka cookies, login state, etc/this also connects the database and ui). When everything is working properly, these three systems stay in sync (eg. when you save a manga, it will show up in your list right away)

The system will communicate with Database, like hey this is the user that logged in go tell UI the things they should display. So Database will tell UI, like hey based on what's given to me, these are the saved data that belongs to this user, these are what you should display. HOWEVER, because of the gradual restoring of lists (which puts a heavy load on the site), the System, UI, and Database are not able to communicate properly, so theyre not in sync. This is why we’re encountering the issues

I DON'T GET NOTIFICATIONS
- since the System, UI, and Database are not in sync, Mgo cant correctly link your acc to your saved mangas so notifs dont show up/update properly. This is temporary and should be fixed when the system is in sync again

WHY DO I KEEP GETTING LOGGED OUT
- Mgo keeps track of your login/session info. But if this isnt tracked properly, Mgo may log you out randomly/repeatedly

WHERE DID MY LIST GO
- Your mangas are not deleted. Theyre still saved in the database. Mgo is gradually restoring everyone’s list from the oldest to most recent marked mangas. Follow this post to get notified about updates: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21092806/

WILL I GET MY LIST BACK
- YES. Do note that while your list is coming back, you might notice some things are off:
⠀⠀⠀*all mangas going into Already Read even if theyre originally marked as Want to read or Reading
⠀⠀⠀*deleted mangas showing up again
⠀⠀⠀*missing notes/summaries
⠀⠀⠀*only rated mangas showing for some users
(I can explain why but it will be too long for this FAQ. idk how to explain without sounding too technical so i might also have to explain the basic terms. You can ask in the comments if youre curious)

I ADDED NEW MANGAS TO MY EMPTY LIST, WILL IT OVERWRITE THE OLD ONE
- if you ADD NEW mangas while the site is restoring, your new list will stay. And your original list will be added back on top of it once its fully restored. But if you RE-ADD EXISTING mangas, it will update the original date of when the manga was added, tags, and summaries/little notes you originally had for it. its usually best to wait and let the restoration finish before making lots of changes

WHY DO OTHERS HAVE THEIR MANGAS BACK ALREADY, WHILE MINE IS STILL MISSING
- think of this like we're reading through a giant BOOK of everyone’s manga list, arranged by the exact time each manga was added (aka timestamps). Each timestamp is like a page in the book, and we read them from the oldest timestamps to the newest. Right now, we are reading timestamps from Feb 2022 (as of writing this post), so any timestamp dated later than Feb 2022 wont appear YET

If your lists are still completely EMPTY, there are 2 possible reasons:
One is that its about “activity”, not account age. So even if you joined in 2016, but you didnt add any manga until 2023, your list wont appear until the system reaches the timestamps for 2023. The second reason is, since the system is very busy right now, it sometimes hits a blurry page and has to skip to keep moving. This doesnt mean your data is gone. It just means the system needs to go back for a second run once the "main reading" is done

HOW SOON WILL THEY COMEBACK / WHEN IS THE RESTORATION EXPECTED TO FINISH
- how soon your lists fully comes back depends on how far along we are in the “book” and how many timestamps we still need to read. If yours already started to appear again then thats a good sign. it means your account is already in the queue and the rest should continue to come back (gradually, not all at once)

If theres another run, expect anywhere from a few extra hours to about one extra day. A full second pass could push it to Feb 4–5, but a partial cleanup run would likely finish around Feb 2–3.

IS THERE A WAY TO EXPORT MY LIST
- heres one way to export your lists: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Drj0CviUhrAmZlU-DC-AtxGFQoH1_PYQ81b2Vzu82w/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.acjitdw8v0h thank @Gurl for this solution by following/sending them a message. This is their account: https://www.mangago.me/home/people/3402357/home/

IMPORTANT: WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT
- PLEASE WAIT. Do not email the devs yet. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. Give it at least 2 weeks from now.

If after everything finishes and youre still seeing clear errors in your marked mangas, report them to [email protected]

If possible, keep a small log of your observations and what you did, such as:
⠀⠀⠀*whether you re-added, edited, or deleted mangas during restoration
⠀⠀⠀*any repeated issues (random logouts, missing notifs, errors, etc.)
⠀⠀⠀*the other specific errors you noticed

EDIT TO ADD: Youre welcome yall (i cant reply to each one of you youre too many ) Im just glad I could help clarify things! Ask away if you have more questions so I can keep updating this community-notes for everyone! (づ￣ ³￣)づ

awe why wasnt this finished?? there is only a few chapters left i think? only 5 volumes total is what manga updates says. :( i want to know how this ends!

Am i the only one who got this ^ singing in my head after reading lmaooo (づ￣ ³￣)づ

Can anyone use the add tag (the space beside (Optional) in every dropbox for comments) in mangago? Everytime I press enter after I type a tag it doesn't generate the tag I created. It just skips to the Comment: box directly. I thought it would be fixed when the Ask a Question was fixed. Wondering if I'm the problem or is it a bug? It's driving me cray-cray. ╥﹏╥

Such good drawings, pleasant story, lovely characters! What a pity for the horrible translations and even worse scanning! Was this story really not worth some more care? Takes away half the fun. :(

▼ 5 話

Ice and Snow can only be helplessly turned into water in the summer sun.

Door painting: Summer life

________

The season is winter.

When Hyou came home from the hospital, Setsu felt uneasy about Hyou for the first time because he thought he would be starving without him

("I don't know what's in the refrigerator, I can't even cook rice, let alone seasoning)."

Setsu is really happy with the discharge of Hyou, but Hyou can't help but get angry at the Setsu, which he used to live on (unconscious jealousy, anxiety about whether he's okay without it).

Hyou begins to run wild with Setsu because of unconscious anxiety

"Getting money from Akinari san, him taking me to dinner, and relying on aunt at the supermarket"

"Huh? I told you a lot not to accept money from Akinari, haven't I?!

Hyou hits Setsu

It's a different way of getting angry. serious cut-of

"I'm making money, aren't I?"(Shaking voice) You can't do anything without me. What are you doing? I've been in the hospital for three weeks, haven't I? You're dead."

"Hyou.. What's wrong with you...?! It's kind of weird..."

(He strangled his neck against the wall)

"Who do you think took you away from that stupid father? At that time, I could only take care of my luggage if I could run away by myself. Bring you here and move here! Who do you think earns money for school and food!? Who do you think you owe your life to?"

"Hyou... oh, Hyou..."

"I'm giving up everything about myself because of you, but you rely on others right away, don't you?"

"Huh, Hyou..."I can't breathe..."

"You're happy no matter what I do, aren't you? Then shall we die like this?"

Chills of sexual pleasure.

If I kill you like this, you won't go to anyone anymore

and mine, mine alone

I see. If I kill you like this

I think it's going to be cool

The image of his mother overlapped with Setsu with strangled eyes and death.

"I loved her so much that I wanted to kill her, or rather, I loved her so much that I could kill her" -- Natsuki

No, I don't want to understand... understand the distorted love of Mom in Dad

At the same time, I realized that I looked like a Natsuki.

Hyou let go of the coughing Setsu

"I want to kill him"

"Dad and Hyou is not the same"

"…"

"You are not the same. Hyou is Hyou."

"So what is Hyou's happiness? If Sechan's happiness is your happiness, what is Hyou's happiness?"

snow-viewing ice

remember summer life's "I love you to death"

Setsu has lived to live, but do I love Setsu so much that I want to kill him?

(I want to kill him, that's absolutely comfortable)

If I kill him, he won't go to anyone anymore.

(Out of sight of anyone, mine, mine alone)

I want to kill you.

(But what will happen to my life, which has sacrificed everything for Setsu?)

If my father's blood kills the Setsu, I'm sure I can't stand it.

What do you think I'm imitating the hateful guy for? What do you think I'm doing?

(Maybe to protect Setsu from that shitty father.)

Hyou called Akinari-san to calm down

"Akinari-san, I might kill the Setsu."

"What?! What are you talking about?"

"I mean, I almost killed him just now."

"Calm down, I'm going there now"

Akinari-san gets in the car.

"My father killed my mother. I might kill Setsu at this rate."

"What? Hyou.. Calm down... Please wait..."

"Im calm. Calm down, I'm thinking."

"..Hyou."

"Perhaps what you said was right.

"What?"

"I always say that Hyou ... is because of Se-chan, but correctly, for Se-chan. I know that Hyou keeps doing his best for Sechan."

Hyou looked back at the Setsu while calling.

"But I can't do it anymore." (whispers)

Akinari's line is cut off from Hyou.

"...Hyou? Hyou! Oh, hurry up..."

Akinari hits the steering wheel with a impatient look while being stuck at traffic jam.

When Akinari arrived at the Tsubaki family, Hyou disappeared.

"What about Hyou?"

"He didn't listen to me even if I stopped him... He went to father..."

"Natsuki's?! Why... or rather, did you almost get killed by Hyou? I'm going to do you think so?"

"...I was surprised to see such angry Hyou for the first time..."

"Is it true that Natsuki san killed Haruka san?"

"…"

"I can't believe Se-chan doesn't deny it either... because Natsuki-san means Haruka-san..."

"...My mom used to go to the hospital and stay in the hospital, but she wasn't weak at all... just because my dad hurt me. The cause of death was also considered illness, but the truth is."

recollection of Setsu

Natsuki is a psychopath, but he is the only one who love Haruka.

However, Natsuki had no confidence in loving anyone other than Haruka, even if its a child with Haruka, and he told the pregnant Haruka about it."

But Haruka gave birth to Hyou and Setsu because she believed in Natsuki (I'm sure he can love my children, too).

a retrospective memory

Late at night, the lights in the living room leaked into the dark corridor.

When junior high school student Setsu who just went in the bathroom peeped into the living room, Natsuki and Haruka were talking.

"That's why I told you so many times, right? I couldn't have loved them from the beginning. I don't care it is my child! Do you think I can love someone other than you in the same way?"

"Calm down and the children will wake up. I gave birth because I believed in you. I still believe it. It's all right, you're the only father of Hyou and Setsu."

"Even if they are related to me biologically, they look like strangers to me. Haruka, everyone but you looks just like a bug flying around."

"Why did you become a mother?"

"You made me a mother. Mother of two."

"Then if I kill them, will you be my only one? It's troublesome to kill two little boys."

"Don't...! That's not the only thing I'll never forgive."

"So why are you protecting them?What's so special about them? What's the difference between them and the others?"

"..." (crying bitterly while hugging him)

"... Oh, I see. Should I kill you?"

Then he strangled Haruka quietly

And young Setsu was watching the whole thing.

end of recollection

"...that's it..." (Is that why my father hates Natsuki? Because his sister Haruka was killed.) Don't become like Natsuki... Hyou."

----

Hyou arrived at the Tsubaki family's' house

"No matter how indifferent I am about others, I am criticized for not paying attention just because I am a family member. Neglect, child abuse, how miserable it is!I can't believe I'm treating my relatives roughly! The law also stipulates that children are obliged to receive education. Families should help each other and love each other."

"But don't you think that's strange?"I can't believe you have to be interested and cherish just because you're related by blood. Why should I treat you special just because you're related by blood? It's only natural to take care of him because he's a child made by hand? I wouldn't be able to argue with you if you said so.What if you have a sense of responsibility?"

"Then how about brothers and sisters, not parents and children? What about the sisters? Why should we get along just because we're family? There is no rule that you must protect your brother because he is an older brother. There is no rule that you have to listen quietly to your brother because he is a younger brother. Why are you accused of treating your brothers roughly? In a world where family love is only celebrated, there are people who can't love or care about their own family. Is it unusual not to love your family?"

"It is only the bondage of a great, beautifully spoken love that we must do this because we are family, and because we must do this because we must do this because we are family. Counterargument? Go ahead? No matter what you says, I can't love my family."

Again this is machine translated so it maybe wrong. Credit to the one who posted the link

I think we can all agree that Oscar was really in love with Juli but he never forced himself and his love on him instead he wanted Juli to be happy even if it wasn't with him
That's love bitch....

I'm crying. It's 1 am & I just finished it. It's a masterpiece. There are so many things I want to talk about which the story did amazingly, but all I want to ask, is how can anyone make something so beautiful, poetic & loving? The fact that someone can create something so kind & genuine gives me so much hope for life. I don't know the words to convey how much this makes me feel. I love this with all my heart.

I don't sense chemistry? Literally did not feel a connection and lacked a complete resolution. Idk, it feels flat too?

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I hate those coloured pages. It ruins the art and is so tacky. If I wanted colourful art I would read a webtoon. And it also messes with the continuity because it's a repeated page.

It would be really hard to find this kind of BL manga nowadays. The quality of the writing and research that went into the story is unreal. But i guess it's expected since people usually prefer the more sexual and light works than the wordy ones like this.

Reboot. This. Anime.

Gravitation is a friggin' classic, come on now.

The original Chinese novel was allegedly plagiarized. 'Allegedly' bc I cannot read the original BL novel that's in Chinese but people have shown evidence that the plot points were copied. Chinese novels have a habit of recycling certain themes in "xian xia" novels however, you should make the decision yourself on whether it was plagiarism or inspiration via research. HOWEVER I do not know if the manga artist is actually aware of this precisely bc of the lax copywright laws in China & made the series into a complete blown out mega Movie-Drama production. I find it sad for the innocent such as actors & production staff be embroiled in this & get hate. I also find it funny & hypocritical for people to bash the manga when they are reading a translated manga which is hosted on a 3rd party site without permission but then again how else can we read manga amiright? XD. Nevertheless, the manga, irregardless of plot is beautifully drawn... the plot is very good so if you can read Chinese, read/buy the ORIGINAL BL here http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=157075 . If you can't read Chinese or don't like BL, I think it's ok to read novel & manga, watch the drama etc...bc beyond the copied plot, a lot of people have put in their hard work such as actors & artists to bring the story to life without knowledge of the plagiarism BUT remember the original author!
