I have heard about this series before but it wasn't until last night that I decided to give it a chance, and I'm very surprised about how complex this was! every character felt flawed in a very realistic way, they're all very young and have dealt with situations so traumatic that it just made sense for them to act in the ways they did. parou especially was the one character whose actions probably frustrated me the most, but even still I really enjoyed him as a character. I felt really conflicted in the end, cause he was still not in a very good mindspace even as a young adult, and I wish the author could've showed us a happier ending for him... but at the same time, it still felt really realistic to show that healing takes time and is a non-linear process. also I'm glad things worked out for marika and ryunosuke (т · т )❤︎
