Oh my gosh this is so fucked up I love it... I hope for the Shihen ending obviously but this interpretation is amazing in its own way

Damn, the perfect theme song for this doujin it´s Them Changes by Thundercat

Can confirm. Rereads of this only get better with Thundercat

Oof.

Wow ! So deep and beautiful in its own dark way. Love can withstand many obstacles and challenges. Maki and Nico love each other and accept each other despite the challenges and obstacles. I am sure that they’re together somewhere and somehow happy and loving always. Loving each other is most important goal for any person. Their hard times have honed their relationship to its core. Loving each other despite all things is what is truly important.

aaaaaahhhh what the hell this is so good, I havent read a love live work in a while so it was a surprise how much I enjoyed this. perfect balance sad gay feelings from maki and sad career feelings from nico, and i love when the two mix when nico finally reciprocates... as a reader when I saw that it was like yesss gay people but also like noooo it symbolizes how she's starting to give up on her dreams of being an idol....... plus the incredible way the characters are drawn is the cherry on top (lesbian chefs kiss)

Man what a rollercoaster. I love that there's no pretense - it's a sad and toxic relationship. And the harsh realities about the idol industry. Dang. The art is great too, I loved Nico's dead eyes in the end.
