La mangaka Tanaka Ogeretsu y yo tenemos serios problemas desde que empece a consumirla. Bien es cierto que no es un conflicto tan doloroso como es el que me provoca disfrutar a Harada, pero si es bastante... extraño. Su obra cumbre, Yarinchi Club, es divertidisima y muy disfrutona en el anime, perooooooo..... Bueno, ya hablaremos de ella. Hoy hablemos de Escape Journey.

Este volumen lo podríamos reducir hasta su máximo exponente y es que la relación que empiezan en este primer tomo Naoto y Taichi es BASTANTE TOXICA, un extraño tira y afloja que termina siempre en gritos y, en ocasiones, en las manos. No digo que este tipo de historias no sean licitas de leer, si lo dijera sería una hipocrita perooooooooooo..... en esta ocasión yo esperaba otra cosa, algo más cute y no fue así.

Quizás una de las razones que más me ha hecho sufrir y dudar sobre si seguir esta historia es por Naoto, quien, de alguna forma, lo noto terriblemente cercano a mi persona. Una persona extrovertida y que conecta con todo el mundo en cualquier situación, cuyo corazón es benévolo y sin maldad, pero que el amor le ha terminado cambiando. Por otro lado, Taichi... sin perdón de Dios. Tiene su trasfondo, es cierto, pero no creo que sea excusa para tratar así a alguien e, incluso, usar la fuerza contra ella y más si la amas.

En definitiva, es una historia dura, pero muy cercana

This was honestly the most pleasant surprise I've read all year so far. I went into this knowing there is non con, and I expected to not like it. But dang it, it was too darn cute not to love it!
We follow Taichi and Naoto, two college students who used to date in high school. Now they're trying to rekindle their relationship.
This was such a wonderful manga. The art is stunning. The characters feel real. And it was so cute, I was brought to tears. This was exactly the manga I needed to read right now.

CW: Non consent, broken family, divorce.
