Idk... theres something about the art that just feels... iffy? I won't even criticize the characters and plot cuz tbh I barelly skim read it... because the art was so weirdly bad it trew me off... idk if its the eyes or the shading or what... but it kinda feel amateurish? Idk how to explain... it just feels weird...
I think I felt this way with a couple other comics as well... as if it's a mix between webcomic and mangá? Like they couldn't decide between coloring it like a webcomic or an anime? It's weird and idk how to express properly... it just really weirds me out?
similar art with josei/straight smut
Maybe? Some oh those do have some... subpar... art... I think it's the inconsistency that bothers me? Some characters as good-looking and well drawn... some ugly and well drawn, some badly drawn... same with clothes detailing... and their exagerated expressions remind me of manga...
╮(￣▽￣)╭
I don't think I'll keep reading this one anyway...
Nah cause like why does the first bully we encounter have more details than almost any other character introduced-
For real! Even the backgrounds ate better drawn than most characters... and like... on ch 30... was that girl using her pinky to make that silly face? Don't people usually use their index finger un that pose?? That looks like it was drawn wrongly... I still don't like the art... and the plot feels... weak... imma really dropping it now...
Of finding a really good comic... and finding out... there's... NO NOVEL! It's an original series... sniff with only 9 released chapters... I... I'm gonna cry! Dang it... I love it but I'm way way way too early...
I'll have to let it marinate... or at least try to...
Same...directly search for novel
Nothing at all
Damn it...
The art is meh... the plot could be good but is not... it tries to be funny but exagerates to much and it's not... there's nothing serious in it so theres no balance... and did I mention the art being meh? Mc's personality is... well... it's ok... but it's just... not as good as it could be?
I can feel the trauma...
.

And I'm traumatized too... let's all pray together for no romance...
Can we take a minute to appreciate their friends? So much support... especially Narita... my boy have been such an ally... and trying to help so much... he's such a cutie...
He better get a happy ending I SWEAR TO GOD
a guy a girl, I don’t care as long as he’s happy- he deserves that much (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
There are a couple of differences but they did a good job adapting.
Tbh my biggest complaint is about the dang paywall. The raws have it and so does the translation. Don't get me wrong, i get having 10 20ch locked but... 70... there's around 70 chapters locked. That's a bit too much ain't it?
To make matters worse... the comic is more advanced than the free chapters! I go for the novels to read what's not in the comic yet, not details missed in the adaptation. What's the point in doing that? Got so disappointed. Imma let this marinate more before reading from the beginning again. Better than waiting chapters to unlock...

use the translation function to convert to english but remember to use adblocker bc there are lots of ads
Omg! Tysvm! I read a lot of ch ones... but the kr ones are hard to find! Really ty
It's another work by Asura... and they usually do a dang good job. As such I don't mind reading their work on their site. At least I didn't in the past. But they are stuffing their site with so much ads... from "naughty" games to pop-ups that scream virus and those ads that ocupy 1/3 of the screen and you click on them instead of the small X to close them 90% of the time and gets sent to another page...
Honestly, I gave up. I really try to read on translators/scanlators sites whenever possible but man are they making hard to do so lately... I get the need for ads... I really do. But enough is enough. No matter how much they complain about aggregators It will have no effect if they don't keep a balance between ads and being reader friendly on their site. And this goes for many groups and not jus Asura.
I can't really go for the officials and support the authors and artists so I try to at least do so for the translators cuz I know how much work goes to it... so it really makes me sad that I lost my patience so much with ads that I gave up on it...
I feel you and sometimes the chapters takes too long to load so I then read here because there's no ads. The only good thing on translators/scanlators sites are the difference in quality.
Honestly idk what to say... I'm kinda happy to see so many comments against it because tbh... it shows rp bl is stopping to be the norm... and I'll tell you... like 10+ years ago you had either rp or the kind where nothing was shown, only suggested. Actually we used bl and yaoi to differentiate if there was smex or not... and the heavy stuff (kinky and triggering/violent) was lemon. It was even harder to find green flags then.
I won't deny that I'm still influenced and thought "welp it could be worse" about the rp thing... not justifying, just showing how much it's been normalized. Now I wish to see this same amount of complaints in the "smut and josei" categories... the situation there is no better than here...
