At the start of this manga I picked the wrong on but ended up really enjoying this manga to a point where it is my number one and the ending was an all round tear-jerker

I'm not crying, your crying


But for real this is one of those mangas you need to read at least once in your life

9/10. First half was kinda a mess for me. The way the whole story changes to the second half is one of the greatest written works ever. The second half is just PERFECT. What a ride.

Nakamura is weird, that's why... She's like me, I love this character

I’m not even gonna lie I have 0 idea on what Shuzo was thinking when he wrote this. This genuinely might be one of the worst manga I’ve ever read. Kasuga is insanely corny hes weird asf n he has the iq of a rubber band, what could yall possibly see in him? The second half doesn’t pick up the manga at all. It just gets boring from there. I don’t get the good reviews at all. This manga doesn’t get past a 2.

Having read "Oyasumi punpun" from "inio asano", i can say that it has parallels to that story in certain ways. Overall a great story, not everyone's piece of cake, but a treat for those who love it.

a primeira metade dessa obra é espetacular, muito frénetico tudo q acontece, o drama a tensão, o suspense e mistério foram algo incriveis, a segunda metade é muito boa também, mas com o decorre do tempo chegando ao final eu mm me sinto feliz sabe kkk, tipo é um final agridoce pra mim, eu gosto da aya mas pra ser sincero mesmo queria tivesse tido um final feliz entre sawa e takao, sinto q o desenvolvimento deles era pra ter mostrado os dois maduros e ficando juntos no final, eu até gostei desse final mas é muito agridoce pra mim, queria ter visto eles dois juntos, superando tudo q fizeram e dessa vez um entrando em um romance de vdd, ai sim seria um final perfeito pra mim, amaria a série com total certeza, mas como acabou diferente ent eu digo q é uma obra muito boa ( mas longe de ser a perfeição q teria sido)

That has been QUITE the ride! Completely captivated me. I am not sure if I understood it, but I enjoyed it. Definitely a heavy read... It was good enough to keep me up till 6 AM LOL!

 

[icarou_skr]

um dos melhores mangás que já li, muito bom de verdade

 

[orestorest]

PEAK. I almost dropped this, because this manga was making me uncomfortable, but that was the whole point, it's like you felt what Kasuga did. And the final chapter made me feel sad, because

Simply fantastic. After having read the author's later work "Happiness", I can see a lot of the same writing here as was there, but this was written far better and didn't leave the same bitter taste in my mouth. Both had the same "the story went in a different direction to what I expected" but it was far better executed here, I'm not left wanting more or wishing that certain events didn't happen or that more chapters were spent exploring certain topics halfway through.

Slight spoilers for Happiness and big spoilers for this manga:

I'm remarkably happy that Kasuga could kiss Tokiwa towards the end, I really thought that was the moment where he would find himself unable to do it and would run back to Nakamura, so it was a pleasant surprise. Speaking of which, if you've read Happiness, you'll know that the MC basically disappears halfway through and only reappears to cap off the story - this, as I see it, is similar to the role Nakamura played here. But she doesn't come back as a deus ex machina, she comes back to complete the MC's progression. I loved how they clearly reconciled, but that she recognised that they were truly different people and told him not to come back again. I wish we had some more closure on why Nakamura tried to save Kasuga from the self-immolation, though I assume it was from some base-level recognition of the fact that he was just a "normal person", but I appreciate that she truly didn't know herself, so it fits.

Also, Aya Tokiwa is my new waifu. That is all. In seriousness, I felt that she was a fantastic addition for a "third girl" - she perfectly represented the normality that Kasuga had come to seek, and him running back to ask her out (sorry, Kouji, but you were a bit of a dick) and her immediately accepting was one of my favourite moments. There was so much opportunity to have her throw him aside once he told her everything, and I love the author for refusing to do so.


Overall, 10/10.
