Dark Heaven
Phenomenal and one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever read. Hands down. Connor and Simon have come to be two of my top favorite couples in the history of all my BL and straight shows. Whatever review I write will not do this phenomenal manga justice. The art is incredible, the plot is masterful, the character development is intricate and powerful, the mystery and suspense, the angst and the romance are all woven together in such an exhilarating, agonizing web which you aren’t sure you’re even unraveling. The psychological elements are placed so well it doesn’t destroy the main story. The tragedy elements are also well balanced. It’s extremely heavy and dark but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The writing is supremely poetic and so beautifully done. The dialogues are one of the most powerful I’ve read. A key example is simons love confessions: “you are the heaven I’ve been looking for” “you are my god Connor” and connors speech at the rally as well as podcast at the end. It’s horrifying the mysteries and relationships we uncover later on. It’s so profound, how Connor and Simon end up together and display a love so powerful it changes the world. Literally they have survived hell and heaven together. I love how connors parents resolved things. I agonized and cried for Simon and his pain and for Connor and his pain. Suffice to summarize: this has one of the best takes on homophobia, racism, white supremacy and such tropes. This masterpiece deserves international worldwide recognition and a series adaptation to Netflix or TV. May Connor and Simon stay blessed forever ️
