lEmon's Manga

So emotional everytime I even think about this story omg. I have a doc with all my favourite lyrics and quotes and the quote “Back then… I… we… were so clueless. I was looking at you, and you were sparkling. My mind was a pure white space bathed in your light. The one and only thought I had… was that I wanted to be with you always” is the second one on that list. I remember crying for hours after I finished it on the first read. It’s the kind of story that makes me want to write again, something I’ve given up a long time ago

Almost made me threw up! Read this if you hate yourself I’m honestly only here because I’ve already read this much

wtf is that ending

Nah because why was I trying to find a copy of this and could only find it online for $200 DOLLARS???

Weird ass plot line, implied grooming (lol), no idea what the story is supposed to be about. Good art though

The plot was a little messy and the conflict was kinda on and off. It was very generic but idk I liked how the author looked at the ml and how he came to terms with his love for the mc

I held off on reading this for a long time, though in hindsight I’m not too sure why. It was incredibly bittersweet. I’m glad that they are able to find their own “happy” endings but I’m sad at how the ending came about. Perhaps I should just be glad that they got to experience it at all. It heavily reminded me of the movie “her”, which is coincidentally my favourite movie of all time. So please, if you’ve enjoyed this story, give that a try (and then proceed to ball your eyes out again for the second time in a row)

Listen, I’ve read a lot of Harada’s works and have absolutely loved some of them (Color recipe and piercing hole) but this was actually the first one to make me feel sick. I’m not even kidding when I said I almost threw up, it felt too real for me to even wrap my head around it, or try to understand it at all. Usually, I give darker works a benefit of a doubt. Harada’s works normally explore taboo topics, but for topics like the one here, extra sensitivity is needed. And while nii chan is certainly not glorifying what it portrays it still left a sour after taste.
