my first foray into manga and I highly enjoyed it

I didn't really like the writing style, which meant the slow plot was mind of boring. I know the autism rep is infamously bad, and it deserves to be because Christopher is portrayed to be violent and selfish with no suitable justification from his inner world. also given I didn't find it funny, I think the humour is found in his portrayed autism, which is a continuous low blow.

the style of writing was so amazing it was easy to sit and read for hours at a time. the gender and identity narrative was so believable, and the characters were beautiful complex. only minus points for sexual attraction that felt a lil uncomfortable 

the ending truly truly made this book, but the characters carried it also

super clever storytelling and I love the characters but the ending felt a little anti climatic?

really enjoyable to sort of potter along with, having no idea what entirely is going on. I think I loved the ending? I feel like I need to watch a video essay to understand it all. I am very glad I read it 

such a heartfelt and human telling. the changes between past and present make it so emotional and real, hiding none of the brutality behind ideas of hopeful tomorrows. I truly truly cannot recommend this book enough it was amazing 

just a light hearted book, but written with in-depth love and acceptance. it is very cathartic to read a queer book that ends happily 

very well written with characters so so alive I was invested in them. the ending is so human and real; a perfect finish and yet still not complete.
