Summary
An Academic Essay I wrote for my university course (digital literature) as an english major! yippee!
This is a dissection of aftg as a self-published digital text and why I believe it is largely anti-capitalist. It is also about the publishing industry, distribution, media piracy, and rainbow capitalism.
This has been submitted and graded at my university, and thus submitted to ai tracking technology, so please do not plagiarize me for the sake of your academic standing!!!

Summary
Pygmalion, the illustrious Greek sculptor from Ovid's Metamorphoses, fell so deeply in love with his statue that Aphrodite took pity upon him and granted her life. Andrew, intimate with and dismissive of most Greek myths, cannot escape the similitude nor the irony of his current situation. After the man with the blue eyes began to plague his dreams, he too became obsessed.
Born without a soul mark in a world of soulmates, Andrew latches onto this figment of his imagination and uses his trained hands to the sculpt man of his dreams.Neil has been on the run for a decade and a half. After his mother died, he began dreaming of man named Andrew. He thought he had lost his mind until he found out that Andrew and his dysfunctional family were real. Despite his discovery, he holds the truth secret for 6 years and continues his nameless existence east of America to keep Andrew safe from his doomed fate. He hopes, in his next life, Andrew and him will reunite.

Summary
Most importantly, summer for Eiji had changed to blonde hair, jade coloured eyes, pale skin, drawn-out smirks, and denim jackets.
So, yeah, summer was pretty special to Eiji, and yeah, he had two different types of summers stored up top, memories triggered by smell and taste and sound. For a while, Eiji thought those two summers would never clash. He was allowed one or the other, not both because Eiji was not that lucky. He had to choose between high stakes and America with his favourite person, or tranquil Okayama all alone.
Or so he thought.
------Eiji dreams of summer with Ash
