This story was beautiful. I can't tell you how many times I cried reading it. It's not inherently sad but the amount of times each word will touch your soul and enhance an experience that highlighted moments of your life, it will bring out that feeling in you where you cry when you don't know what to do with your overloading emotions.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it's hard sometimes. Even though you have people that support you, there's no one that really understands you. Sometimes you just want to let go of the feeling of sexuality itself and live life like a shapeless blob with no past or future.

Somehow this story made you feel like someone related to those experiences, touching on aspects that no one would think to touch on when talking about the LGBTQ+ community. The story talks about issues of coming out, being a gay couple in a judgmental world, having to deal with your relationship with your parents, understanding yourself and your emotions, living as a trans person, having to watch your lover die from old age, feeling most comfortable cross dressing without having to be gay or trans, asexuality in a world governed by love and relationships.

All the characters feel like genuine human beings going through experiences and emotions that I'm pretty sure a lot of people in the community have gone through. They're all flawed people who also make bad decisions. This just brings more humanity to the hundreds of drawings through the pages. Sometimes good intentions bring harm to the people they're aimed at and sometimes being overly accepting can feel restraining or overbearing to someone. It highlights the complexities of human emotion and the whole process of going through the story makes you realize so many things you have never thought of before.

All this to say that you should really read this manga, even if you're not part of the LGBTQ+ community and are just an ally. It's so beautiful and somehow, it gives you a better understanding of all the people around you.

Sorry for the long comment. This manga just really touched me emotionally.
