Sodalite's manga / #Slice of Life(13)

KiryuScans pls pick this up again :(

Omg, I didn't know this has a manga! I saw the anime first last last year and it become one of my fave slice of life/drama anime of all time!

It's frustrated me at certain parts but overall it's adorable.

It's got its typical Shounen Ai feels. Sweet.

I'm going to turn a blind eye on the fact that they're sort of cheating...

This a very good one if saying 'great' is a bit of a stretch. I pretty much didn't see this as a mere Yaoi but more like: young boys realising their sexuality & sexual orientation and how they suffer internally due to heteronormative society and cope with it in self-oppressive manner. I just wish the author grab the opportunity to add a social commentary into it. I'm glad that Mishima & Yumeno found a place they feel belonged to and got to live their adult life in a way they can at least express themeselves. Kirino, who, on the other hand, chose a different path which I until now I couldn't tell if that really gave him happiness and contentment. It's disheartening for me to see yet I also understand that his mother's happiness is very dear to him, and it may be the reason behind that decision. Still, I can't accept it. He really deserve to live his life without hold backs. This is what adds to the goodness of this manga because it has a touch of reality. Bittersweet, indeed.

I like the melancholic undertone of this manga.

This is life. It is difficult. It is boring. It's repetitive. It is a simultaneous experience of pain and pleasure. This is indeed life. What's frightening the most is that life starts to feel real once you turn into an adult.
