Alice's manga / #yakuza(3)

I don't even know what I don't know. What? So... did everyone just...die? Huh? Imma just go stare at the wall while I try and process, because clearly I'm not as smart as some of the other people who've read this and think it's a masterpiece. I'm just confused. In short: What?? And why??

While I still read it, I couldn't really feel the "intense" part. Maybe it was because of how the characters faces were drawn? I felt their faces were just so emotionless, and therefore harder to empathise with. The story was unique, and somewhat nice that they found each other and managed to run away together, but it feels kinda incomplete. It was a nice happy ending, dont get me wrong, but part of Jiwoons character ark was trying to gain independence and escape from the mob boss. And while they escaped, Jiwoon still hasn't got that independence and freedom he wanted while he sits at home waiting all day for his partner to come home from work. Maybe the author had to cut it short?

I really liked this. This has got to be one of the top five Mafia based romance stories I've read. It was deep, and emotional, and I couldn't put it down from the moment I started it. I loved that the Seme had mental health issues, that while the Ukes presence made it better he wasn't "cured" like I've read in some other stories. Mental health doesn't work like that. I also really like the Ukes guilt he carried in regards to his sibling, and how it was expressed. That's an emotion he will carry around around for the rest of his life, and not something he will ever easily forgive himself for, and I really appreciated that his guilt wasn't brushed off or a cheesy forgiving scene was put in. I feel that would have ruined the feel of the story. Anyway, absolutely recommend to give this a go.
