TSHD is such a beautiful story all on its own, but when you think about how ridiculed aroace people are, and how our relationships are always forced to be defined by romantic or platonic, the story takes on such a special light.
I've never seen my feelings depicted so perfectly before, especially not in a way that was praised and seen as good. 'Hikaru' and Yoshiki don't need to define their relationship, because they know what they are for each other. They love each other, they don't care how, and they simply want to be together.
They don't need to label anything, or explain anything, because who cares what people think of them? They're going to get judged no matter what, so why try and do damage control for people who won't care to listen to them anyway?
I have so much to say and so little ability to put my words together. All I can really say is that TSHD will always have a special place in my heart, and I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. Not only will you get a lovely story with beautiful art, but you'll also get to witness a type of queer representation rarely depicted in media.
