Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Douno has been falsely convicted of mol*sting a woman on a train. He serves time in a group cell in prison, surrounded by inmates who are all suspicious in some way. Just as Douno’s distrust of people reaches its peak, he is saved by the innocent kindness of his cellmate, Kitagawa. For Kitagawa, who is imprisoned as a mu*derer, this is the first time in his life that he feels the emotion of love. This complete edition encompasses the main work, “In the Box”, as well as “Out of the Cage”, which tells their story after their release from prison.

I wish there was more point of view from Kitagawa. I felt so bad for him and loved his unconditional (almost obsessive) love for Douno. Someway, I felt that Douno, though had legimate reasons for refusing Kitagawa, didn't deserve him. However, the epilogues made up for that part.
My review contains spoilers and I earnestly urge anyone who hasn't read the story to skip reading this.

I can't bear to say that I enjoy the story because I am still reeling in the heartbreak and anguish... it's HE alright... but I wished the author gave them more time together..
Kei left too early. They only had 20 good years together... I can't imagine how Kei must have felt having to leave his lover this abruptly...
I understand the author's intentions to highlight the unfair and harsh reality, but as a weak hearted reader I wish there were less melodramatic dash of "realisms" and more sweetness after all they had went through.
I added several tags, in hopes that more ppl would come across this story. Romance was one of the genre that I tagged but later un-tagged.
I do feel that overall it isn't a romance story. The focus on their love was definitely a subplot and IMO I haven't had enough of their interactions as a couple (did they travel and go to spain?, etc I have so many qns..)
I appreciate the multiple POVs but the one POV I really wanted was Kei's. Unfortunately, there were barely any.. he was always mostly written from the third party view and I felt that this has made him rather 2D. I gathered that his social skills has improved marginally and he is more 'involved and intuned' with the world. He has such a unique thinking process that I wish to know more about his inner thoughts instead of what he outwardly portrays.
The middle portion with T's wife cheating, daughter mu*dered and Kei suspected as the mu*derer... was a lil too much and too forced imo. I am really not big on melodrama and I do think that there could be a different way to write this portion minus all that cliche drama and still be able to have T accept Kei's feelings and fall in love with him. But hey, I am not the author, and as the reader I just have clench my jaw and ride through this frustrating hell storm.....
