Indigo's manga / #Bullying(3)

I was reluctant to push the reading further because I thought that the plot is built around a very crude theme, with very crude words at some places (especially that this is neither ecchi nor hentai), however when I picked this title again, my first impression was proven wrong. The mangaka has done a very meaningful task by connecting the MC's sexual fetishism with other themes such as being an outcast, being unable to communicate with others, bullying, counter bullying, hatred, depression but also kindness, forgiveness and crossing the wall one has erected around oneself in order to face the world and the humming diversity of humans which distinguishes it. It was a good read actually.

This is the story which introduced me to the manga world. I probably re-read most of the chapters more than once. I thought that at some times, the plot was stuck in a loop endlessly repeating itself but I loved every part of it down to the last page. I wanted a spectacular ending and Rui to be happy (with Shizuka) but still this is a cult manga for me (perhaps it is one-of-a-kind manga because I doubt that there is or will be anything which is even remotely similar to it).

This is a wonderful story with a very smart artwork, and a clear point of view. The author was able to shed the light on the plight of abused kids and pull us into their lives as they struggle to find hope and stand on their own feet. Absolutely brilliant. I strongly recommend that you read it. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on it.
