i think that’s what makes them so realistic tho. not everyone is with their partner 24/7 especially as adults. it’s good how they have lives of their own but i do agree that there’s too much misunderstanding
It's realistic to not be with your partner 24/7. What's not realistic to me is to claim they're truly, madly, deeply in love with someone they can't even communicate with properly. It's like they barely know each other. I just notice it in almost all JP shounen ai/shoujo stories so it's kinda hard to ignore. Authors like to make them fall in love on a soul-tie level when they barely even talk/know each other. But yeah
Then read some other BL or better yet, scroll through Twitter. We could tell what you actually want to read and you're not getting it here in this manga.
Telling someone who simply points out the frustrating aspects of a story or genre is not the big-brained response you think it is. You defending a story that's all over the place tells me you must not be well-read enough to recognize terrible writing and be bothered by it when you come across it.
Saying "we" as if you speak for the people on here is such an odd thing to do, too. Wild ! YOU go scroll on Twitter and join in
Omg, you feel the exact same way I do!!! I was following this for YEARS (since chapter 4 was uploaded) and haven’t felt ANY progress between the two MCs since the first volume. None of their growth is done together, so it really feels like they’re growing apart almost. TДT I feel like the authors passion to build the world they live in surpassed her desire to build upon the MCs relationship lmao. I love slow burns as much as the next guy, but this was seriously too much. I can handle genuine arguments in romance better than I can handle constant misunderstandings. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
EXACTLY oh my gosh finally someone who thinks critically!!!!!! THANK YOU. Everything you said exactly.
This is... A challenge to read lol. I know it's a really famous manga but wow. It's just too all over the place.
There's misunderstanding EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER.
There's ALWAYS another guy or another girl standing in the way of their relationship.
The same unnecessary characters with the same theme/purpose in the story keep getting introduced.
And Taichu and Kouhei spend more time APART than together.
Like how are you gonna convince me you're madly in love with each other when you spend like an hour or so with each other every 5-7 business days??? Majority of volumes 1-4 they don't even really text each other. And 4 volumes in and they STILL haven't made it clear that they were dating. Like do you two not talk to each other or something???
I find them cute, I do, but it's so... idk. It's so hard to ship them.
