otakulys's Manga

I don't feel like a single person got the end of this story right. I don't know where they're getting all this stuff, but a lot of it has zero evidence in the source material. One person was like, it was all a dying dream and everyone died! And the readers were like, yes, this makes perfect sense.

But see, it didn't, and the symbolism throughout the story means nothing if that's the ending. I think people are forgetting about the main character's tendency to have a fantasy of himself as a lost little boy, and the guy he fell in love with is an adult who saves him. The sister... I don't know for sure what's up with that, but she's supposed to be alive. The mom even says she is, but then it cuts to her reasoning being that she discovered her death. I think there's a chance the sister didn't die, and the mother may not have even killed herself. It might have been Giju. I think he's hallucinating in the end, because he does that a lot, but it seems like people were trying to find answers and couldn't find any.

I will say that one big point for the Giju-is-dead theory is when the mafia guy tries to pin it all on him somehow, and can't remember his name. He recalls his cute face, but then thinks about how he was taken advantage of until the end. This implies that there was indeed an end. But it isn't clearly stated anywhere.

There's zero indication as to what happened to the guy he loved though. That dude stares at a box, then the next time we see him he's either in Giju's hallucination, or they met again in the after life. Not sure if he died or not. It definitely didn't follow through on explanations, so that's a bummer. Everything is open-ended, like even whether or not the sister is dead. It would have been beneficial to the main three (Giju, love interest, sister) for the mom to think she had died.

I don't know, there are a lot of theories here that could maybe work, but some of this stuff is reaching in my opinion. Like how did people even come to some of these conclusions? I think people just go for the most basic, cliche "sad ending" stuff whenever something tries to be deep. So they just come up with an everyone dies type conclusion, and they don't need any evidence or anything. I dunno, it's frustrating that the forum on here doesn't work anymore. I'll never be able to really talk this out with anyone.

I really like this so far, especially in the sense that they didn't immediately fall for one another and live happily ever after. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens, and I hope it continues to explore the fact that he always loved this boy like a brother, rather than erasing all of that to make them a couple as easily as possible. Poor babies, either way. Can't wait for more.

The pace is a little odd, but I'm intrigued. Only five chapters so far, though. Boo. Poor guys. They both dealt with some crap back in the day.

Interesting start, though I'm hoping there's more involving what the uke has been through. I'm worried that it'll just be glossed over in the name of buttsex. Also don't like straight guy going gay for one dude, but whatever. It's so damn common. x_x Anyway, I'm hanging on to see what happens. This is chapter... two? I think?

Hmmm.... Interesting so far. I was actually thinking of writing something regarding a drug that can reverse a bonded pair. I feel like this has potential to be something stronger than it is. But it's only three chapters. Maybe I'll like where it goes from here. Hopefully there'll be an update soon.

I really like this so far! Only one chapter, but it's an interesting concept and pretty art. That weird bowl cut on those twins is making me uncomfortable, though. This is pretty cute and funny. The whole exchange with them discussing the theme of the movie was adorable. Looking forward to the next chapter. ^^
