rape/pedophilia, definitely worth reading tw's before picking it up. i sure wish i had! 

romance was ok, pace was too fast i didn't find it particularly believable. i did spend the last half wondering if it was implying that gender nonconformity is the result of sexual assault.

I was not a fan of how detailed the child SA scene was and did not see a need to depict it in that way. The art is by far the best and most interesting part of this one-shot. Granted, I’m sure that I wasn’t the target audience as an American lesbian, and maybe the queer male audience does find that the story accurately and appropriately represents some of their experiences. It’s an extremely quick read so, if you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it. At least the art is gorgeous to look at (save for the pedophile moment).

This book was weird and it should've been longer. Even though the author wanted to write a short story this wasn't a good book for them to do it, I felt like the themes of  Arima's/Maria's gender weren't explored well enough especially given the circumstances of his childhood and that hurt the story. Over all it was just a weird and okay manga.
