The Love of Calendula

There is not much inside of this manga other than the main character's love for each other... and I think that's why it works. There is no grand attempt of dispelling between 'right' and 'wrong', they love each other, and that's the simplest way to put it. One boy is scared of corrupting the one he loves (how much should he be able to take, how much should he be able to love?), and the other is fueled by desire bursting at the seams. I think Fuyushirazu no Koi wraps what we call 'adolescence' up into a little bow and gifts it to us. Thoughtsoverflowing, you can't stop yourself from acting on them. Maybe your own mother sees you as disgusting, but you can't help it; it's something that's a part of you. It's been brought on by someone who's been with you the entire way, every single twist and turn, and you love them more than anything, so much so that you'll give yourself up entirely for them. It's scary, but you love them. That means it's going to be okay. Words that mean everything once you've heard them, "I love you." At the window during the early morning, a taboo love, purer than anything, waits for me. Fuyushirazu no Koi is a portrayal of unconditional love.
