"SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD!* This was sad, in a way. Considering the condition of the boy, it really was sad. I personally didn't like the story all that much because the ending was confusing, plus I didn't understand the time-skip very well. The art was very good though. Overall, this was a compelling story, and the situation the boy was in was unfortunate. I'm looking forward to reading more works by this mangaka, as their art is really good. I heard they do write a lot of shota though. What's interesting, is that this author is a gay man himself, which interests me because most yaoi (non-bara) mangakaare female. But yeah, this man has a good imagination, however it's not entirely original. In the comments of the website I read, there are definite sides taken so this does spark some debates.
