I can't express how this manga made me feel. To know that this is based on a true story, just hit home. What Ryousuke went through is what many of us in the LGBTQ+ community went through and it's finally touched on . In so many BL manga we get stereotypes of gay men and women, sexualizing us. Yet, this manga touches on the heart of what it means to be gay and the struggles/hurdles we face. It also touches on other countries perspective of gay individuals and how many countries, especially conservative countries, have a long way to go in accepting all minority communities. 

As I can't touch on the character aspect of this manga (as it's based on real people), I can touch on the art. And can I say WOW. The art style is absolutely stunning. The lines, the details, the style. This is what I want to see more of in manga in general. I absolutely love this style, it was truly out of this world.

I would love to see an actual English translation of Ryousuke's essay to read as I have read in many reviews that the manga translation left out alot of scenarios and events that Ryousuke faced. Anyway, I think anyone that reads manga, or reads LGBTQ+ memoires should add this to their shelves. For the first time we have a BL manga that is portraying the gay community accurately.
