Soft stories are the best💜✨️. Guys, you won't regret reading it👌😌

A short shounen-ai story with quite a heavy emotional tone.

This story is about a young man who is sent to a mental institution for being gay and another patient who is there for unknown reasons (well, not unknown, but no spoilers here!).

The story is good but very short at 40 chapters. That said, it drags at the start and there's a couple of chapters half way through with a girl that are unnecessary and don't add anything to the plot. The ending is rushed and then there's a time jump, which is just lazy writing and I HATE that. 

Throughout most of the manga, the various mental illnesses of the patients are depicted well and with empathy, which I really liked. However, everything was just magically fixed after the time jump at the end and I thought that was a real disservice to the rest of the plot and to the struggles of people with mental illnesses in general. Also, I note that another reviewer got their wording wrong - they are mental illnesses, not mental disabilities, which are something else entirely! 

The art work is OK but not my preference, especially how young and feminine one of the main characters looks. There are no s** scenes - this is definitely shounen-ai not yaoi.

It is worth a read but it could have been so much better with a few tweaks. It's a shame.

I feel like its a bit slow at first until half of the chapters. Most of the plot develop in the last 7 to 8 final chapters. The ending wraps up the overall story but i think its a bit rushed. anyway it's still a good read

💯/10 i’m a little sad whenever i see the reviews (gosh, i hate shounen ai sm) i think this book deserves such a recognition. cos’ one the art style is amazing two, the storyline is such a bomb, and three, all the characters will definitely have u emotionally attached. not my first time reading smth w mental disabilities related to it sooo, this book really just caught my eyes. i mean, there is that one toxic character that deserves to be in he**, but srsly no matter how many times i re-read this book the pain still sting in my chest. i’m writing this review in such a positive way hahahha i really enjoyed reading this book. hope yall can give this a try !!

Good story!! One of the few stories I read that depicts mental disabilities and illnesses well as far as the characterizations of the characters go
