hopeful lighthearted

i was really looking forward to reading OUR COLORS (i thought MY BROTHER'S HUSBAND was truly excellent) but i feel a bit let down now that i've finished it. i honestly thought it was kinda boring? it could've been half the length it was for the story we got. of course i'm not trying to discount the very sweet and inspiring message it's trying to convey, but overall it just felt bland to me because of how light and simplistic it was.

Self affirming story about accepting yourself and finding someone to trust. Tagame's way of telling stories has never quite opened up for me, with his metaphores and imagineries but I can also see that they are part of how his stories are built and loved by his fans.

Also some of the teenagers are a bit off for me an the way they behave.

A beautiful queer tale by a legend. The art left me in awe

I thought this was a little bit... boring? And though it was centered around the teen, I would have preferred to read about Amamiya and his story. It's not fair, but I really liked My Brother's Husband, and one can't help but compare.
