The Boy's Scar - Shounen No Ato is a short story of a young woman, Suzuka, who took care of her late closed friend's child, Fuusuke. Both shelters the same abode and isolated themselves after the passing of their 'beloved'.
I was intrigued when Fuusuke was introduced for having a peculiar condition which he never consumes anything besides 'shi' or human blood. He was illustrated as someone pale and lanky, often too pouty, demure and sour towards Suzuka yet he also shows the side of being clingy slash obscured. But deep down he is longing and missing something thus incorporate with the fear of losing someone and not wanting to be left alone again.
Suzuka on the other hand is a photographer professionalist, yet still remain single which corresponded to her gender identity of being a lesbian, since also her heart still racing for someone she could never even reach. Thought that, by adopting Fuusuke with sympathetic approach, she could fill the void of guilt steering on herself however, the boy keeps reminding her of his deceased mother and painful memories keeps crept out whenever Suzuka thinks about her homosexual unrequited love.
I like the flow of the plot not until chapter 18-20. I was surprised to the fact that the story was been intentionally cut-off from the thrilling part were Fuusuke was supposed to claimed by his biological father and then suddenly, the panels shows that Fuusuke abrupty became high schooler which a little bit doesn't make sense! I was almost at the edge of my seat and then--what?! That's it?! Seriously?! No way, that's---way too short for a story like that! Explain yourself sensei! Honestly!
Well, the author justified why Fuusuke didn't return to his real dad and ended up choosing Suzuka instead and stayed with her, let's just say, for the rest of his adolescence. But it really happened too fast. I wonder maybe the author was too busy to put up the storyboard. I was trying to understand the complications of it and it was really a good story however, that part was so disappointing, and then suddenly Fuusuke lost his vampire-like capabilities after reaching puberty, JUST! Ugh! Maybe, I was expecting far more to happened, that the story would reach something more impeccable and wide. I was maybe, expecting too much. I was so fixated to the story to the point I took the extremities of making assumptions, guessing and anticipating what will happened next.
It was a goodread, though disappointing---literally dissatisfied to be specific but, it's a GOODREAD. Inaba-sensei, thank you very much for highlighting such unusual story that troubles my conscience for a week.
