miseryxcompany's manga / #Established Relationship(1)

Kyaaaing at how sweet and tender this is. Makoto and Kazuhiko compliment each other so well; I especially loved seeing Kazuhiko talk Makoto out of his apprehensions about Kazuhiko’s feelings for him and their relationship, and just being so shamelessly in love with him, Makoto eventually letting his walls down and allowing himself to just love Kazuhiko in return. Sharing aspirations and seeing each other in their futures. I loved the flashback sequence in chapter two, where Makoto realizes Kazuhiko is only trying so hard in school for him, and caves to Kazuhiko’s mother’s insistence that he stops their tutoring sessions, thinking the real him does not live up to the Makoto Kazuhiko has grown fond of. And later, when he tries to reject Kazuhiko’s confession while doing a not-so-great job of veiling his own feelings, fearing he’ll come to regret their time together. But Makoto isn’t truly considering his Kazuhiko and is ironically treating him like a child who doesn’t know what he wants. I just loved how Kazuhiko’s assertive, head-first disposition balances out Makoto’s anxieties. You get the feeling that Makoto isn’t afraid of death in the end, and Kazuhiko is truly satisfied with the life they had together.
