*screams into the abyss*
This is everything I wanted it to be and more 💖😭💖 If there’s one thing that’s going to get me, it’s fucking BL horror. I live for these types of stories that neither sacrifice the horror element nor the romance element. I’m just *makes incoherent sounds*
I knew from the first half of the manga that I would be obsessed with it. And I am. I truly am.
There’s so much mystery in here. I’m compelled to keep reading because I don’t know where things will go. I’m left in a state of limbo like Yoshiki who wants answers but also wants to spend time with the thing that isn’t really Hikaru. I just want more and more of these two interacting! I also want more memories of the real Hikaru. I just think there’s SO MUCH HERE. I can only hope we truly explore it in more volumes.
In general, I love the art style of this manga too. It’s creepy while also having lovely character designs. I just want to hug both Yoshiki and not-Hikaru in the biggest bear hug. I love them 🥺
I also love the codependent relationship they have. Both of them are holding on so tight to one another even when they shouldn’t be. I can’t help but root for them to not let go 😭 While also being terrified that not-Hikaru will do something to hurt Yoshiki. UGH. MY HEART.
All in all. Obsessed with this. Need more volumes ASAP.
