I've been kinda waiting for a bl manga (manwha in this case) where someone has an eating disorder and I love psychological themes. Idk why I really wanted it, maybe because of the imagery and how I kinda sorta relate. I have an EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified). I have emetophobia (a fear of vomit) and due to that, if I feel nauseous, I restrict my intake of food greatly. If I'm just feel a little queasy, I won't eat for a day. But if I feel awful, I will restrict anywhere from 2-5 days max now. I'm trying to get better and cut back on restricting because I want to be healthy. I had a bad downfall where I struggled to get back to eating again because I starved myself too long and eating again made me nauseous and it lasted a good year or so; I lost 30 pounds. I haven't restricted for more than a day in a very long time so I'm doing better and I'm very healthy again but unfortunately I still can't help but to restrict when I'm unwell (although I try my best not to do it so much anymore). But I hope it doesn't romanticize anorexia/bulimia tho.

    Hey pretty please be carefull reading this manga, somepeople find that reading about eating disorders worsens their conditions so please stay safe. Best of luck on your recovery!! You deserve to live freely without EDNOS holding you back!

    Thank you for caring <3. Any depictions of eating disorders definitely does not make me wanna starve myself again. I couldn't care less how much I weigh so long as I am healthy. The only thing that seeing anorexia in this manwha triggers is how miserable I was when I was underweight and how I never want to be super thin again. Mostly reading for the bl and in hopes the sick character gets better.
