the story actually got to me

The sequel to Smells Like Green Spirit so it SHOULD be a masterpiece but I don't know yet since it's not completed.
The story has only just started getting interesting and is super dark so I am looking forward to updates. I will however go absolutely apeshit for the art and imagery though which is why it's here.

I'm going to need to reread this but if I recall, I was pretty fucking depressed at some points. The MC really stands out and I love him a lot which just makes his story all the more depressing

As someone in the comments said, this manga took years off my life I have never felt this depressed after reading a story. It ripped my heart out stomped on it, spat on it and threw it to the moon and back.
The story constantly had me on edge fucking terrified of what new trauma is going to occur to one of our MCs and I just wish they were happy.

A fucking masterpiece, includes the portrayal of issues with gender and sexuality but REALISTICALLY. It also features a platonic relationship between the 2 leads which is just so refreshing because their friendship is just the most beautiful thing I'd read.
It isn't all sunshine and rainbows and has very dark themes but it's just done so well I love this story.

Honestly this manga doesn't have a story it is literally slice of life with intense smut. The reason it is here is because I'm not reading it for the smut (surprisingly) but for the characters. The relationship between the 2 MCs is so refreshing with the banter and shade thrown at one another and there were more than a few moments I laughed out loud in my room at 3am and woke my cat up.

I regret rereading this, now I’m depressed again. I enjoyed the story and genuinely love the characters but it’s probably at the bottom of my list for now due to the amount of pining the MC constantly has for ML. The first 2 chapters are fucking peak though.
It’s a tragic story with dark themes which is exactly what I enjoy but I do wish the one shot at the end was not there because it was so out of place and actually managed to make me uncomfortable

The art. Purely the art is gorgeous. The story is interesting and has a lot of twists and turns but unfortunately the characters aren’t that likeable which ruins the impact of the story.
Putting on my list because of its heavy focus on story and beautiful art.

this. looks. interesting
