The love I have for this series is unholy. Every volume is a BANGER. I absolutely love reading about Yoshiki and Hikaru 😭

I know it’s been announced that this series will no longer have bl undertones…but I don’t think the mangaka will be able to tear that out of the story. With what has already been established, nothing they do will stop the seeds they planted from growing. 

Anyway. I did love seeing more of one of the side characters in this volume! I can’t recall her name right now, but it was fascinating what she brought in to the story because she recognized the otherness in Hikaru. She caused a momentary rift in Yoshiki and Hikaru’s relationship that was vital. 

Ugh! I just love this so much 😭💖 and the art style is incredible. I can’t wait to keep reading!
