Depth of Field

i had found out about this manga through the mangaka's other work "usaki no mori" which is another fantastic work i want to specify a trigger warning for this mangakas work as it does include rape,,, its rather uncomfortable to read and even more uncomfortable on how it's taken as not a heinous act,,, it's quite disappointing as the mangaka nails everything else to do with queer relationships. story- 7/10 this runs quite slowpaced at the start with the characters developing a special friendship in which they meet at the rooftop,,, after the second novel it completely flips and they bond extremely quickly, its interestingto see as I'm more keen on the slow burning romance but it was quite realistic in that sense; they were both straight forward. art- 9/10 i love this mangakas art,,, me: a full on lesbian squealing in my bed at 5 am since the boys make these absolutely monumental facial expressions of yearning. character- 9/10 both characters are relatively fleshed out and enjoyable,,, characters making mistakes and acting out in toxic ways can be interesting and relatable to read although I wouldn't say I see myself in either I do appreciate a well developed mental block that the main character portrays. enjoyment- 9/10 yes, aside from that one scene. overall- 9/10 if you enjoy bl centring around relatively masc characters I would recommend this, its a light read with a plot of personal trauma and development and the obvious cute boys falling in love
