I cannot describe how beautiful this manga is. Arima's past is told in such a realistic point of view that it makes me feel all sorts of ways. His trauma is being portrayed in depth seriously and i love how the protagonist helps him slowly overcome his trauma. Additionally, I'm glad the author didn't glaze over arima's trauma and ended the manga with Taiga and Arima having sex like other mangakas would. I've read many other mangas in which the protagonist is raped but ends up having sex like nothing once they get older with their partner, and it seems to disregard the process of overcoming a trauma, making them more bland and to me... it even seems as if the topic isn't taken seriously. However, in here, I absolutely loved that the characters didn't do anything because Arima is recuperating himself, and sex doesn't seem to be any of their priorities. Platonic love at it's finest. Absolutely love it and thank you very much author for giving us readers a chance to read your beautiful work. May you rest in peace
