This was…darker than I was expecting it to be. It deals with so many different topics that it was almost to much, but also I kind of wished that some of them were explored more. I loved the complexity that this manga was able to develop in such a short time. From seeing Kasumi and Kyousuke’s friendship develop, to seeing them ripped apart by their own inability to see themselves as good enough for the other, to finally finding their way back together. It was a heartbreaking roller coaster of emotions.
I think the only real objection that I had for this manga, was that the first sex scene felt like it came out of nowhere. There wasn’t any buildup or anything. But that might just be a me problem?
Anyway! This was a really good, emotionally charged read. It had some of the best mutual pining, angsty goodness that I could have asked for in a manga. There Are Things I Can’t Tell You is getting a four out of five stars.
