STORY: With only 13 chapters, it's hard to tell exactly how this story is going to turn out or really go in depth with the 'storyline'; there is an overarching narrative with little chunks of development in between - not bad by any means, but I do wish some more things... happened. However, it is still very good. A very accurate and nuanced portrayal of LGBT issues in Japanese society.

ART: A very pretty series; outstanding use of visual motif and symbolism - slotting in the artistic metaphors extremely naturally definitely adds to the appeal of the manga.

CHARACTER: Impeccable characters. There's a spread of different perspectives; the main character, a gay boy exploring his own identity and how he feels about things and overcoming the heavy-set internalised homophobia, with the help of a few other people, providing examples for him and support and general companionship along the way. The characters are being developed in their own terms, too.

ENJOYMENT: Very high. It is difficult to find content, let alone a Japanese MANGA, with an interesting, accurate and not fetishised portrayal of LGBT characters and issues. It also explores themes that touch on some very important points, highlighting that doing something 'bad' doesn't necessarily make you a bad person - you can learn from your mistakes.

OVERALL: Very much recommend, particularly for LGBT+ anime / manga fans. Will be keeping track of this.
