first entry to make me tear up! refreshing to read something that feels a lot more sober and easy-flowing than the more experimental entries I've gone thru. you've got a great texture to your language and apply toxicity very discreetly, which lulled me into a sense of security that almost let me forget what the story was actually leading towards. like how the writing and art feel filtered through the styles of a shoujo anime, but after the characters have already lived thru the most dramatic points in their life and are just normal people now. it's a good wat of showing yui is kinda filtering the situation thru a lens of distance and innocence. polaroid scene gave me a stomachache and the scenes between that and the ending were like being hit by a car. felt very empathetic for both parties. thanks for this.
would also love to know the filter you used on your character drawings to give them that hand-drawn, old crt look for my own art.
