i think it's realistic in the way that they view love and treat love within their world. it's not earth-shattering, or magical, but it's special in its own way. i think it's idealistic, but i wouldn't call it unrealistic either. there's so many romances out there that focus all on the romance, or just on the romance and friends. but here, everyone is treated fairly equally when it comes to characterization. everyone has their own thoughts and feelings and goals, and you can't help but respect and feel for that, because in a way, that mimics reality. there are going to be times when you dislike a trait about your friend, but it's not something you should bear hatred for. i do think the level of communication is really surprising, but i wouldn't go so far and say it's unrealistic, because there really are people like that, who easily express themselves and are always honest. and to be honest, seeing people miscommunicate all the time is just really annoying for me...so it's nice to see a couple that tries to talk things out before things spiral out of hand.
tl;dr: i would say this a pretty realistic story in terms of how falling in love happens and what people in real life are like. communication-wise, that could be debated, but i do have friendships in real life that resemble the ones in this manga.
noo i dont have any hatred for it i actually love this cute manga i do respect and love this manga. im just going all out with the person who called it a realistic relationship. i see its probably bc u have those nice honest relationships with friends or partners. but i’ve never experienced those and in my view human are full of stinky emotions. yes ofc mostly are nice and honest but i’ve never ever met someone like that. maybe thats why i said that this manga wasn’t realistic.
oh i totally get that. TvT people really suck sometimes. i'm someone who tends to be pretty honest and straightforward about things when they come up, so the kinds of people i attract and talk to are those who don't mind that kind of thing. of course, everyone has a different perspective on life, and that's on me for not realizing that properly earlier, my apologies. TwT (i actually really resonate with one of kaoruko's friends, and it was really surprising because i've never seen someone in a manga with a personality so similar to mine before, it was kinda crazy!)
apology accepted and i apologize too that my words has misled u too think that i have negative thoughts on this sweet manga. I LOVE THIS MANGA I SWEAR. i bet u’re a really nice person T-T. well the thing is i’ve always been taken advantage of people who lies a lot and at the end of the day its my fault for believing those nasty people. so i try to be a lot more picky when it comes to finding friends and i tend to not see the best in people.
i saw someone said that this manga is the most realistic romance ever so i tried reading it and by realistic i thought it meant like how human usually act yk, commonly not able to express their feelings well, miscommunication, lies, anger and more. thats what realistic is to me. so when i read this, all i thought was “where tf is the realistic”. sure they’re all sweet, cute and honest i really love that part. but its a big no for me when it comes to realistic. there are no human that is that fucking honest and that good with communication. okay i would understand if its 1 or 2 person that is honest and has a hand in communication, but all the characters in this manga is good at them. idk maybe its just me but i dont see it. where? realistic where? idealistic, yes.
