Review of given

Just to be clear I'm already a big fan of the manga, so like I was not surprised with anything and it wasn't as painful as the manga. I think the anime enlighted the mood of the story much more than the manga. I'm saying this bc when I read it, I felt so much pain that gave me an anxiety attack after a long time, and because of that I was very very worried that the anime will affect me as well. But it didn't. I'm not saying the manga is super depressing, but the tone is darker than what it's being portrayed inthe anime. And that's the reason why I enjoyed the anime so much.
People like to say that Given is a great anime/manga that truly portrays LGBTQ+ and I totally agree with that. It was a very heartwarming, sad, fun and beautiful anime to watch and If you want to start watching BL anime, I totally recommend this one.
