OKAY Y’ALL....Y’ALL. Y’ALL KNOW THE SHAKESPEARE LINES THEY USE IN THIS? WELL HAVE I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
not to be a shakespeare person or anything but the lines they used in this? hella gay. like my first reaction was that they came from romeo and juliet, because EVERY person wanting to take romantic lines from shakespeare uses romeo and juliet (which is okay but like. kinda basic lol)
BUT BUT BUT—it’s actually from a sonnet known as sonnet 18. so a quick little history lesson: shakespeare was pretty much confirmed to be bi. and one of the many lovers he had was a “fair youth,” aka a young man (look it up if you want it’s pretty cool). so this sonnet is like. hella famous. as in one of the most famous love poems out there. and shakespeare addresses it to the “fair youth” (you can look up the meaning of the poem to dig deeper too, the main takeaway is that shakespeare was very gay for him)
tldr: the poem used in this manhwa is very very gay. and i’m pretty sure the manhwa artist knew that, so i applaud them for it!! lovely little easter egg for people into literature
