i think the phone in the last chapter is shizume’s not kiumi’s, even tho there’s no name there it’s made more obvious by the fact that the sex friend is asking for his handcuffs back and shizume’s the one that does/used to do bdsm type play. i think it’d be pretty weird if shizume was going through kiumis messages so i feel like i need to protect his honour lol
i feel like i can usually get over the age difference thing in manga because they get together when they’re both adults but the way this author constantly flashes back to scenes of yuma being a caretaker is sooo weird like do u want us to see this guy as an adult or a child please choose one???
I was thinking exactly the same. It's like the author takes pleasure in portraying the relationship almost like real siblings, or some kind of "father and son". It's just rare and a little uncomfortable.
Psst- it's supposed to be uncomfortable, even the characters are uncomfortable with the situation "shoul've stayed a child"? They're all confused, we're all confused. The author did a good job. That's the point.
Lol I was thinking the same. If we weren't a little bit uncomfortable about all this, then we wouldn't be understanding what the couple is feeling, and this would be another X yaoi manga with good RarePair! Smut and nothing else.
i mean you’re not wrong, the author’s intention could really be to make people feel uncomfortable. saying they did a good job is pretty subjective though because i’m less uncomfortable and more just...finding it ridiculous i guess? things like this Iconic Baby Scene that just happened immediately takes readers way out of whatever smut is happening, and that honestly makes me feel bad for the author for having worked hard to draw all that because i’m too busy laughing at how they compared a sex pose to that instead of appreciating idk, the titties or smth. rly as someone who hasn’t even bought this work though i can’t criticize the author tooo much, just stating my personal thoughts
Again... that's the whole dynamic
Idk if you are getting it
It's not a random baby shot
It's intentional
his parents....let their teenage son go live at some guys house really easily huh lol my parents would've lost it if i even asked
WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO LIVE THERE?? YOU'RE ONLY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT? IS THE JOB NECESSARY? WHERE IS IT? IS IT SAFE? HOW WILL YOU COMMUTE? YOU CSNT COMMUTE FROM HOME? WHO'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU
LOLOL
i thought i was crazy for missing hwi when he was here litrally 2 chapters ago but i'm glad we all feel the same lol
If you are crazy, then I am crazy too.....I hope we get to see sexy sexy sexy Hwi soon......He is so fine.......
seconded about being confused as to why ppl are saying taehyun has a crush on hajin i really don't think he does? i think the most obvious proof that he doesn't is that we've already seen what he's like when he has a crush (dokyung) and this is nothing like that... i think we just need to accept the fact that he sees hajin as a bby (because he is a baby) and feels as affectionate as a brother/cousin would
woww this art is amazing, i really love the little details like baby shuu wearing slippers that are way too big for him when he listened in on yousuke apologizing to his mom :') i used to do that all the time as a kid too, i'm rly looking forward to the rest
i srsly think this plot is more suited to a couple that's been together for less than a year;; not 2 whole years like are you telling me you've never had problems before this?? how'd they work those problems out???? anyway i'll stick around till the end for the nice looking art
i feel like this guy is just in it for the drama like why'd he invite them both just to strt some shit loooool
ok everyone is talking about the plot which is fair because its interesting and things are Happening but.........i still cant stop thinking about randolph's tiddies
i think there is more nuance to why people are upset that he might lose weight than some of these commenters seem to believe. yes he did gain the weight due to trauma and him losing it may represent ridding himself of that trauma, that makes sense narratively of course. but the bigger picture here is that BL and a lot of manga in general just does not have fat characters, and i have rarely read any stories where the fat character doesn’t become skinny in the end.
so even though him losing weight makes sense story wise, it’s like why did the author choose to make that the obvious choice instead of letting fat people see themselves in a story where the mc stays fat the whole time AND is still loved, gets to have sex, etc? i’m sure there are also people out there who can relate to this specific mc, but for others it just ends up being the same song and dance where they once again are not allowed to exist in media. obviously this manga is not done yet so this is all just speculation and the author might even approach this with a lot of care, but i feel like it’s unfair to say that people are not allowed to feel frustrated just because he gained that weight due to trauma.
TLDR: mc is not a real person, all of the mc’s thoughts and actions were written by someone with bias, so even if it seems that him getting skinny is a logical progression, a person (again, with bias) wrote it to be that way.
This was well said! I feel the exact same way about being slightly disappointed if the author decides to go after the weight loss route. Don't get me wrong, it is good if the mc wants to change for himself, but the fact that there are hardly any stories about self-love and learning to stay as who you are, especially for those that are struggling with their weight, makes it sad.
Again, the people aren't upset that he's losing weight, but upset about having a character finding love until they become skinny again. Why can't it be normalized even if he were on the bigger side?
I hope the author doesn't do that, but I wouldn't even be surprised at this point.
thank you and i totally agree with everything you’ve added on! even if this story ends up that way i really hope to find stories (esp cute BL or any lgbt stories in general!) in the future that show someone happily finding love without having to lose weight first :’) i’m sure must be some hidden gems out there!
