Summary:
The serious Ito and the child-like Nishi meet by chance during a single player game of "White Line Game" on the way home from school. Falling in-love, Ito gets frustrated over the fact that they only get to rendezvous on the white line and suddenly kisses Nishi. From high school, college and then to adulthood... A deeply moving work depicting the lives of two men who are madly in love with unchanging feelings within changing realities.
What I felt while reading this manga (my notes from 06.05.2022):
Nishi-kun is so cuute and childish. He is my spirit animal. Very relatable character with how he wears his heart in his sleeve.. Eventhough it means he is more likely to get hurt, he accepts himself as a whole and lives his life openly loving Itou-kun with all his might. Whenever Nishi cried, let's just say he was not the only one crying (╥﹏╥)
Itou-kun with his serious demeanor, would look like a regular guy. But I liked how well he paired with Nishi. He was way too stiff and rigid and the poor guy was so confused because of societal norms. But I am happy that he understood what matters at the end.
Such a wholesome read and one of those mangas where the characters grow old together. It gives me hope yk ( ꈍᴗꈍ).. Everybody in the comments section warned me to have tissues in hand. I ignored of course. Look at me being a crying mess with just 6 chapters. Worth every drop of my tears ( ◜‿◝ )♡
10/10 recommended, especially if you are going through midlife crisis and questioning whether true love exists on top of everything (-.-//)
