You wrote a sequel. As if the previous one wasn't incredible already, you had to follow it up with this maddening genius of a story. Damn it! OMG. I finished this story and I'm sitting here wondering what to do next after I'm done with this review because how in the world I can follow up with this? How? SP is such a simple manga and anime. It doesn't take itself too seriously but there is something very sweet about it that you can't just help but fall for the characters and at least want them to be happy. Sono and Seiji are my favorite pair and not only have you written a story of overcoming horrors and finding redemption and salvation and more than second chances, you have laid out the questions that some folks are afraid to face. You wrote a Sono that despite all the pain has always been a pure soul underneath. To be able to face Takeo and find the love he shared with this monster. It's so easy to just say that every person who wronged you can go to hell, sure, true, some of them should but there was a process that came from all that. It didn't just happen. Yes, it was a series of bad choices but to be able to acknowledge the goodness first and accept that holding on to the pain was no longer the option was such a powerful message. Everyone got what they deserved in the very end as painful as the circumstances have been. I love that you are unapologetic with your writing and how you brought the characters to life and making them incredibly strong. I am so happy I have read this and very much inspired by it.

I must admit it through me through the loop knowing it had been altered because I honestly loved the original I like the alternative end too Is there any way you'd be able to re upload the old one (or is there somewhere else online I can read it)
I loved the reunion between the brothers, and the wedding type scene and I really liked this ending

great job, very well written although I must say Iiked the previous version better (the ending).
