One of the first manga series I’ve finished since I started reading manga. I’ve never wanted to reread something so badly. I fell in love with all of the characters so quickly I was genuinely surprised because it’s never happened to me before 👀 looking at you rengoku. 

You can tell this is Gotouge’s first series, however, so much thought, effort,  and research went into this series you can tell they poured their heart and soul into it. I’m incredibly happy that it’s getting the attention it deserves and that the anime and movie helped the series gain more popularity. I’m so thankful to Goutoge for creating such a beautiful series and being so so creative with the character designs. I love how much their art style improved throughout the series, it really warms my heart to see Gotouge improve so fast, I hope they’re proud of themselves. To whoever says the anime carries this series I would very much like to tell them to fuck off LMAO each of these characters have so much life and all of the angst and the progression of the story are amazing, it’s the writing that got the series to where it is today, even if the anime helped it gain more traction.

Although I very much enjoyed the ending and was happy about it, it did throw me off a bit. I do understand where people come from when they say they didn’t like it at all. I don’t blame Gotouge for it at all though, I blame Shonen jump for rushing them. They may also have been dealing with health issues which could also be why the ending was rushed? Either way, the ending made me feel really happy and it felt like a very much needed breath of fresh air after being subjected to 8 volumes of angst. 

I’ve never cried so much over fictional characters and I can’t wait to drain my bank account to buy the box set. 

This series will forever hold a warm place in my heart.
