Beachloves's manga / #slow pace in development(1)

6/28/21 This is a beautiful slow burn shounen-ai about hidden feelings and the pain of unrequited love. I loved it! Only read volumes 1&2 the last one focuses on a side character and it says that it's completed but it doesn't feel done so it's kinda unsatisfying but the main story is amazing! 7/21/21 This is my second time reading this and I am completely blown away by how this story unfolds. Every time I read this I am emotionally eviscerated by Touma's feelings. The way this love is portrayed is so honest, so raw, and pure. I truly believe in his devotion to his friend. There is something about this that is so atmospheric, and wistful. But perhaps due to the quiet nature of this story we never end up with a grand finale or a wedding cake moment, I find this a bit regrettable. The characters just quietly walk away hand in hand with their love to pursue their life. But I wish the best for Touma and Takaya, I hope they share much love and happiness together.
