pinetr3e's manga / #a bit sad(4)

This couple is a bit crazy and I like it! Really, it's really good but the sister complex is sort of gross idk. I love how they fell for each other all over again. But, kotou's mom being a porn actress and fujii jerking off to her was unnecessary and weird too. I would give it 4.5 stars if i could.

Let's just say that I wasn't expecting this bucket of cold water (drama) when I started this buuuut I loved this story and the characters! The art felt a bit crude sometimes, but I think I like it. So, Fuji lost his best friend. I must say that for him to be pushing Kira away, I thought that Saiki (the bff) was his ex boyfriend or that Fuji had feelings for him never spoken of. But, now i guess that's not the case. Saiki was really just his bff and Fuji was not over his death (even blaming himself) so he probably wasn't ready to start a relationship (he couldn't accept himself nor the death of this special person, and I respect that) so that's why he was trying to push Kira away by hurting him. I GET ALL OF THAT BUT STILL he was a REAL asshole with Kira. The thing he said in the beginning about Kira being a slut, I was shocked for like 30 min, just staring at the page. IT WAS REALLY HEAVY. Good thing he apologized but he could have dealt with the whole situation differently (?) He could have said the truth... tho maybe he didn't want to talk about his friend's death, specially to a stranger... there are people who aren't really open about their feelings. Because of all this i felt the manga was really lifelike and really wholesome in only 6 chapters. BUUUT ENOUGH WITH THE DRAMA let's make a statement here that THE SEX IS AMAZING! SO HOT! OMG! ANNNNND I WANT IRIYA'S STORY!!! Also, FUJI BEING A POLICEMAN SAVED MY DAY. DAMN HE'S DADDY!

Wow, okay... This was a rollercoaster!! I'm so glad I reread it! To reread stories are really the best to understand it all. But, i gotta say... I have complicated feelings towards this manga. It's really realistic, their feelings and their daily life. It's amazing! The art as usual is awesome too! But, there are a few things that I don't like. So, for me Taichi is far from being a great seme. In my opinion, in those three big fights they had, it was all Taichi's fault. First, he said that horrible thing to Naoto that made them break up in high school. Second, he FUCKING RAPED HIM. And although he realized what he was doing and looks like the whole thing didn't last long, it was horrible and he should've apologized A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN HE DID (he only said sorry through a text (?)) and that's something i can't forgive nor forget. And third, he kept thinking things too much and didn't share with Nao and pushed him away (tho this is the least bad of the other things he did). So, my liking to Taichi is not high. Also, we didn't get to see them going to the onsen trip nor the graduation trip which was frustating. But, I also want to point out some good things. The chat Taichi had with his mom just hits different. It's really good tho short. And, man I totally can relate to Nishina. Who hasn't wished for someone to break up or had their heart broken. Man, that sentence he said "i just cant bless other people's happiness" it's echoing in my mind because i'm like that. Damn, that's sad but oh well. ANYWAY, PETITION TO GIVE MY BABY NISHINA A MAN PLEAAAASEE. I like the fact that they told their families but towards the ending, the quality of scans and the translation was getting worse and worse, so i'm not sure their talks were complete and i really wanted to see that. But oh well piracy what can you do about it. In general, it's a great story full of ups and downs just like life and love. Oh, and I just want to say that i love the title. It really is a escape journey because in so many moments they wanted to escape or really escaped from (avoided) their feelings, conversations, situations but in the end they stopped doing that and faced everything head on. Beautiful! Also, interesting fact: the music Circles by Post Malone suits them so much!! Just listen.

I gotta say: this one REALLY is REALLY good. It's so realistic how they don't get together right away, like Konno takes time to accept, understand and feel the same way that Shuu did/does. But that is also the part that broke my heart a little. Because they distanced from each other for 3 years. The pace of the story is slow but it doesn't have that dragged feeling. It's the right timing. I wished we had seen what was going on inside Konno's head, because we only got Shuu's pov and Konno is quite hard to read tho it says he's simple minded. The couple aside, Shuu's past was something really different and really real. He just wanted to make friends but because of his privilege and talent people hated him and he just wanted to understand their feelings so he tried throwing everything away, but also to be free to do what he wanted, which was music. So good. Tho i must say that there was that scene where he vented his anger on Konno that i didn't like it. I think it was an assault but Shuu felt bad and apologized for it, right? Tho i can't say that this scene was unnecessary like it's totally psychological Shuu wanted to dominate and destroy/hurt Konno because of what he had and was, we can take some depth out of it. Anyways this story is really lifelike and sadly that made me dislike it a little lol i'm not gonna lie. Don't ask me why but tho i really liked it i can't call it a favorite. The characters just didn't captivated me wholly. But i still like them, wish them happiness and wanted to see Konno put it in lol just don't get why we didn't get it in an extra. I would give it 4.5 Oh and the art is A M A Z I N G. KONNO IS SO BEAUTIFUL. THOSE EYES, GODDAMMIT.
