Pet Shop of Horrors was an easy binge watch for me mainly because the artwork reminds me very much of xxxHolic and animes of similar style.

It shows ...

This one was hard for me...emotionally.
While the French translation of the title - "Entends-tu le chant du soleil?" OR "Can you hear the song of the sun?" seems so much more elegant, the manga's real beauty lies in its ability to convey the warmth and beauty of loving another human in a simple yet impactful way without falling into traditional OR societal conventions. It does it so well - that it kicks up that feeling in your gut reminding you of when you felt that very same yearning and "wanting to care" for someone - even if it's a feeling you didn't quite have a ... |
