before you read this, please know that this does contain two p*dophilic relationships, one that comes up often, and another that you find out about later.
this manga contains a lot of harmful stereotypes towards gay men, whether they handle it correctly or not is up to you.
also please, if you do read this; READ THE TRANSLATORS END CARDS!!! there's so much info that helps you get a real opinion on this story within the end cards later on in the chapters!

it's MY kin list and I decide who i put on it *sweats and shakes as i write out andou*
GOD this manga is a whole thing, if you actually read it despite the warnings! as you can tell i gave it 5 STARS, which doesn't mean much if you look at my manga history (everything is five stars) but if you could i would gave this 10.
it's a well made story in my opinion, but a lot of explanation gets left out. this is adapted from a novel so a lot of andou's thinking is explained much more in depth in written words rather than this manga. (its still great nonetheless) which is WHY, i stated you should read the TL's ending notes!!! they give info on a lot of stuff thats happening within the chapters.
i would try to explain my feelings and views more but like... i gave a whole explanation in the comments and i don't really feel like rewriting it; but to water it down, what happens in this book isn't black and white. there's a lot of problems and when you come to address it, i think that's where the story comes together. its ultimately about a boy who's coming to accept he is not disgusting for being who is he; and i think a lot of us need that
the author fuckin crazy though… that defending of the middle schoolers relationship was not it
She likes Homos, Not me
