it was amazing
bookshelves: manga

See, my problem is that I've been giving every volume 5 stars. I stand by that, but now I need a 6 stars or some shit.

I had to get up and walking away from this book two or three times towards the end just from overwhelming emotion (especially with Ouni, because I'm so attached to that guy it's unhealthy). I'm so proud of Suou and what he's trying to do even if I think it's going to blow up (also lowkey shipping Suou and Ouni wtf Nico) but I know he's gonna be hurting soon as things progress. Chakuro is still this innocent, optimistic kid with so much life stuff just piling up and he's handling it so earnestly and bravely. The twins were a factor I was not expecting but could make things exceptionally messy. This secret is...yeah.

I've said it before and I'll say it again but the GODDAMNED. ART. Holy shit. I'm showing stuff to my family constantly. I want it on my walls. This cover on particular I've lost a stunning amount of time to just starring at. I love how the characters are drawn; clothes, expressions. I want to live in that world, explore it for hours. Ugh.

By the time I'm done here I'm gonna be demanding a 10 star rating system to accomodate my love for this series and I will feel justified.
