I'm fully assuming my boy Aeyi is ace. The author never says so explicitly, but it's mentioned multiple times that he has no interest in relationships and if he's a happy single cat dad at 28, I feel like all the clues are there.
As much as I enjoyed this story and its characters, it's getting to the point where I'm starting to feel kind of bad for the author. Most of the panels now are empty and lifeless. There's no backgrounds, no details or shadows, no screen tones. It almost feels like line-art. Is the mangaka getting too old? Does she have no one helping her? Or is she just tired of the story? Whatever is going on, the art just doesn't feel like it has the same heart in it, and it's very saddening.
Yeah I was wondering if she had health issues and needed her assistants to draw most of her panels, but it's almost impossible to know what's going on since she has no social media presence:(
Because both the pacing and the art have become really weird at the same time and the change was really abrupt, so it doesn't feel like she just changed artstyles over time (although that has happened as well)
She's had health issues and then had surgery last year for something she had kept putting off or not taken seriously. Read somewhere the health issues are why the panels got less and less detailed over the years. Which makes sense, at this point I just appreciate her continuing on and possibly finishing the story.
There is also the chance of getting a complete version once the recompilation book is out, if these chapters are from the monthly publication is normal to be "more empty"
It also happened with the chapters around the 30 or 50, if you read the monthly it was almost all white and some characters barely tinted then on the recap book (tankenboun I think?) Or was all the detail done
That makes a lot of sense!! I hope she takes the time to recover, I love her work (and at this point, what's wrong with waiting some more, you know) and I've reread both skip beat and Tokyo crazy paradise soooo many times
There are a lot of reasons why this webtoon is fun and good, but I would just like to shout out how much I adore the designs of all the elemental lords. I'm not sure if this is an original webtoon or if this is being adapted from a web novel, but kudos to the artist either way for their creativity towards that aspect of the story. I only wish we saw them more so I could admire them more, haha.
Does the manga describe itself as a romantic comedy or did whoever upload it decide to describe it as a romantic comedy in the summary? Because it feels very false even in the very few chapters we have. The main couple (?) does not have any chemistry together at all, let alone humorous chemistry, and the female lead honestly seems like a creep. Or is it just supposed to be the inherent humor of a masculine girl and feminine guy?
I think it’s is romantic comedy, leaning more towards what you said last….
The last chapter was like…really weird. It kinda messed up the whole relationship appeal. So I hope this is just conflict the story wants to add with sun character redemption idk
Not my man, Alphonse. He tried so hard to protect Lisia. I can't wait until Lawrence gets what's coming to him.
I know it's not gonna happen because it's not that kind of webtoon, but just once, I'd like to see an MC escape their toxic love interest for good, whether that's leaving them or by fighting back and winning. Or maybe not even escape, but at least give the toxic person as good as they get. Poor Tay only got one good sucker punch in before he went back to getting steamrolled.
you'll love the next season that will come
Spoil us SISTERR
Spoil us please, I BEG OF THEE
I’m just typing so I can get spoil, I’m too scared to read the chapters knowing it have those chapters
Waiting
This manga sure is something. In Chapter 1, we learn the MC was mostly fine with the possibility of an old man sneaking into his room and sexually assaulting him. And in Chapter 4, we learn the love interest was an adult when he met and fell in love with the then child MC. I guess they're a match made in heaven then. And let's not even get started on all the bullshitery going on in the brother's story.
God damn. I was rereading this manga and the vibes really have been downhill since chapter 179. That's almost 5 years and 100 chapters of the author making me sad on purpose. Don't get me wrong, I love the drama and the intrigue, and I think everything is well-written, but what I wouldn't give for a moment of triumph or fluff to alleviate the soul-crushing empathy I feel for these characters and their suffering.
I agree but it’s going to feel so amazing when it resolves. The tension has been building and I’m hype even though the mood is down. I trust in the author to write something satisfying bit I’m also scared T-T
I think I'm happy, but apprehensive. I thought the original work had a great ending. I wish I knew what the author plans to do by continuing the story.
money
Lmao
Really not a fan at all of "I used to view you as a child but now I don't." 17 and 28 is a bad-time pairing regardless if the girl is the older one. No thank you.
I know and the constant reminder of it makes it so much worse
She acts like a child and its honestly really creepy, like why couldn't you jut make him 18 and she's like early 20s, just make it at least legal man
Ikr she constantly reminds us. Like leave it be and we may think "well 17 is pretty mature in that world" but no. She says "He is a child" or "oooh thats a sulking teenager" like bro stfu. Also why 17-28. You want him to be young make him 18 or 19. Make her 24 and it will still be convincing that she was a workaholic adult. That author surely has some weird fantasies bc this story could be told in sooo many ways while still making it morally acceptable.
Ah ! Wait till u read Alice Academy if you think thats messed up.... main character's parents have 14 yrs difference, and they meet when the girl was 10. He was 24. THAT is messes up. Oh, and he was her sensei during primary school.
That is beyond messed up wtf is that
omg I remember reading this and being weirded out but I was in high school when I read it so I moved past it
absolutely loved that manga
The story is super cute, and very shojo like, I would recommend, its just that the parents love story part is kinda... (╯°Д °)╯╧╧. Anyway, check it out, and tell me what you think ╮(￣▽￣)╭ if you want to
I loved it too ! One of my fav, but, seriously, the author kinda messed up on that part tho ╥﹏╥
Oki i will (=・ω・=)
