I finished this manga around six months ago and let me tell you not a week goes by where I haven't thought about this story. I'm an avid manga reader (even though I don't really log my readings on MAL), and my usual taste goes towards epics like Vinland Saga, fantasy like FMA, and death matches like Gantz. However, this story has somehow become my favorite thing I have ever read in this medium. Even though I am not a part of the LGBT+ community, I was still able to relate to what characters were going through. I found myself in all of these characters whether it be the alienation, the sadness, the melancholy, and even the joy. It is the only manga that has made me cry which I think is a plus.

What is shown in the story are things that everyone has felt in their life and this story portrayed it on a level that has never been touched before personally. Not to erase the plights that are brought up that are specific to the LGBT+ community. I will never know what the fear is like to almost be outed or be afraid of what my parents would think if I brought a girl home to meet them as my significant other. The story had such a way of portraying these situations where characters, whom I wouldn't typically see myself in, stick with you and effect you.

This manga is truly something special. I think this is a story truly anyone could find something out of. I would, with no hesitation, recommend this to anyone.

Lol just to add, I will still cry thinking about the old man and his partner at the end of volume 4. That shit got to me like no other, dude.
