read around 2020. I CRIED I UGLY CRIED!!! This comic was so beautiful. The first time I learnt about how the taboo-ness of homosexuality. The image of one panel stuck with me. The protagonist sees his father who abandoned him and his mother, thriving as an artist. He hugs his cat (he found in his apt., not knowing it's the second male lead) and muffles his cry in the fur. The next panel is a vertical mirror, one of the reality, and one of the protagonist hugging the male lead in human form as a reflection. Another part that I remember clearly is a flashback of both male leads meeting as children. ITS SO CHEESY IM SO ASHAMED ITS SO AMAZING. The last panels are suggestive, but not sexual. Relieving, I felt happy for them rather than "bruhhh gaygayagaygay" .
