moody_bish's manga / #multiple stories(25)

The first chapter put me off so I backed out. after months, i decided to continue and realized i was cringing too much and forgot to appreciate the appeal of a character with an impulsive or manipulative change in personality. Narita was actually appealing and charming but too cunning with Chitose. Somehow, it makes me forget that he really likes Chitose and isnt merely teasing him. the story of Ren and Eita is so cute and yep, Eita fits the role of a beastly boyfriend. Mao and Kyo are actually really comedic and outright refreshing. Im rooting for Jun-chan HAHAHA

Basically, all these couples were fated to each other since the day they met

The stories after the main story took me off guard. Tbh, these are the themes Im somewhat comfortable thinking about or writing about. but somehow, im uncomfortable reading them, especially when i dont intend to read them. Mutliple stories are really like stepping into a landmine

There’s like three stories here maybe? The childhood besties are the ones that swept me off my feet so even if I vaguely remember the stories, it’s the one that I appreciate most. Next is the honor student who got caught by that playboy. They didnt end up together and looked more to be newly found friends which is nice ‘cause it deviates from the typical blackmailing. The way the black haired boy comforted him like it was just a typical heartbreak was also heartwarming. The way they showed up at the basketball game was even funnier.

As much as I expected Tetsu to be a spirit, the depth of existence and identity becomes more painful. However, seeing as he remains to be Taka’s guardian when he became a teacher is more heartwarming than tragic. I only hope Taka does not deny the feeling of Tetsu watching over him. In the case of the uncle and the peach blossom, all I see is a child who gave him peace knowing that he has seen worst spirits. I’m not comfortable with it as a romantic relationship, so I keep interpreting it as some sort of safe haven for the uncle. I’m just disappointed that even when he is aware of his nephew’s perspective about their ability to be aware of the spirits, he doesn’t help him. Come on, the nephew tries his best to make sure that his uncle is supported by him and that he isn’t snared by some spirit but his uncle only have sentiments for him. Tsk tsk. Either way, I’ll be happier if the nephew becomes closer and develops a healthy relationship with his friend. At least they’d be a living couple. Tbh, the couple breaking up which Tetsu helped was so random but funny at the same time. There’s another living couple amidst this ‘tragedy’.

This might have had a prequel? As much I like how interweaving and simultaneous the relationships in here, there’s some sort of void that I can’t help feeling at the same time. It’s like a need for closure that should’ve already been there but I somehow missed it.

Snacks! The one shots are adorable and though it leaves me wanting more, it doesn’t leave me hanging. It’s not as sensual nor that different to each other in terms of premise, but they’re all refreshing to me nonetheless.

Fluffy art and varied themes. It's the sort of stories I'd read while waiting ت I had no favorites since none of them caught my interest. Personally, these might be well-written in flash fiction because I need more of what's on their mind. The facial expressions and actions slightly threw me off because the subtleties hid more than they should (-’_’-)
