good read! honestly deserves more. ppl are missing out on this!
only downside was that it ended too soon and more development would've been great. It's also on toomics
There's a new webtoon out called Zombie Fight by this same author! Since the author has two similar associated names (?) that webtoon is under the other one. idk who set it up maybe i could change it so the webtoon can be under same name as this and get more recognition but not sure I'm in the place to do so.
okay with this afterword everything makes sense now. Author wrote a slice of life about a bittersweet love triangle [without disclosing Toma's crush] but editors wanted it to be Taichi and the author only touched up few chapters so this unexpected ending is understandable.
for those who were upset about the lack of representation, lgbt term was beginning to get across at the time which author was unaware of what it is at that time. Like others I also wanted more Toma and Taichi but in the end, this is only written with the intention to be about characters choices and values not to represent other things.
the author said it was always gonna be taichi though! they just weren't going to outright reveal it
ahh i read it back and it was meant to be taichi but not revealed, I skipped the tiny written part and missed "already is." ig author only wanted to focus on character development instead of romance. my statement still stands that editors saying it can be revealed and author making few changes to the original idea and not so much on Toma x Taichi though
yeah! and i thought it was really powerful what the author said about all their feelings being equally important, that one person's love isn't more special or important than another's
yee love is love. Just as Futabi loved Toma so did Taichi, and so did Itachi loved Futabi and so did Taichi, and so did Futabi love Taichi and so did Toma. lol i hope that made sense
just gets sadder and sadder. everyone and their mother (literally) can't catch a break in this series.
mans on a boat but still choose to drink his own piss tf
Totally forgot about this since 2017. This is like one of the best psychological webtoons and certainly a hidden gem. pls consider supporting on webtoon if u can.... viewership and likes has dropped significantly due to its long translation hiatus
so basically shiho here is like Nao in Liar Game manga
Ppretty much lol. But Shiho has strength and courage going for her vs Nao
mhmm seems about right
In Korea camera shutter sounds are not silenced due to privacy reasons... I thought this is only happens in Japan.... just how annoying are perverts to the point the gov't has to take action like this smh
This has awards and all but why is this low rated though? It's expected that it's a mature story given that both are a middle aged couple and the tags are also seinen, slice of life without romance. Both complement one another with their personalities, it's nice and refreshing to see realistic daily lives depicted instead of drama, explicit sex and such. Definitely going on my list!
I like the analysis on Wikipedia "Writing for Culture, Society and Masculinities, Katsuhiko Suganuma notes that the relationship between Shiro and Kenji is depicted as largely non-sexual, contrasting stereotypical media portrayals of gay men as hypersexual or sexually deviant.[16] Far from reinforcing equally permissive stereotypes of gay men as emasculated, Suganuma argues that by not depicting Shiro and Kenji's sex life, the series "intentionally ignores the expectations of the curiosity-ridden heteronormative public" to focus on the domestic lives of gay men.[16] Consequently, he cautions against interpreting What Did You Eat Yesterday? as being merely assimilationist or homonormative, arguing that it "provides readers with occasional instances of modification of gender and sexuality norms in contemporary Japanese society. "
as the comments also stated this has a live action https://watchasian.vc/drama-detail/what-did-you-eat-yesterday-kinou-nani-tabeta
It's low rated because Mangago is full of thirsty fujoshis who just want to fetishizes gay man so they get bored if it there isn't drama or sex, I mean I do read some typical "yaoi" manga and I can enjoy them but I think stories like 'What did you eat yesterday?' needs to be more appreciate than the other ones since they portray gay relationships very well
I only started this recently but from what I can tell you get a lot of recipes and see them grow even older together, even though there's not much romance (no romance tag) the story develops burning slow and hot to serve a warm and gentle taste of its unique dynamic. Also highlights lgbt+ issues in Japan realistically from many characters pov, not bring up the typical unacceptance for the sake of only using it as some sort of element to create drama. gotta say I'm surprised a female wrote this. I see even some stories in "yaoi" are low rated by some with reasons it didn't explicitly show sex/their parts and it's 'not uncensored,’ It's ridiculous to base the entire story on trivial reasons like that.
