HigaShou had already shown to have a talented hand with subtlety and privacy when it comes to relationships and personal issues, (e.g. Prism) it's something I like a lot and wish some artists would take note off when writing (kind of) serious stories.
Sure, to get invested, there need to be some infos to the reader, but stuff like that is mostly kept to oneself if it can be helped and not dumped onto the reader in exposition.
Yeah, I agree with all of this. Something about his sensibility makes these situations really engaging to read, but with lasting, compelling depth that doesn't feel unearned- in Prism it was this way, at least. It's why I like this too, besides all the cute subtext.
