And out of everything in the story the thing that still weirds me out the most is the spitting in poor Taka's drinks lololol. Whaaaaat the fuck.
not really yanderes are that posessive that they want ever bit of them with thie rpartner at all times i should know i am one (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
Eww (⊙…⊙ )
I read this manga as a baby fujoshi (last year; it was probably the first title I considered a favourite. Not quite a year later, yet, but this update reminds me why Aomoto Sari remains one of the queens of my fujoshi heart. This couple is so intense and in thrall to each other in a way that I think only BL manga could make thrilling and this erotic <3.
It also created a special place in my heart for Fujoshi Bitches. The team has excellent taste and excellent work ethic.
I'm just filled with fujoshi love this morning. Happy Happy to everyone ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶.
I've read chapter 11 about 50 million times but I still wait patiently, like a good fujoshi, scanlator-sama. Keep up the good work!
This is probably a good time to reread Gusari sensei Haikyuu djs.
Only Harada could make me feel even a twinge of sympathy for a character like Niichan. It's interesting to see observations of the "beautiful" ending. It seemed rather pitiful to me. Up to the very last moment Niichan was obsessed with Mai's father. Once he realised that improbable reunion was never going to happen he resigned himself to his only other option. At the end he looks like nothing more than an animated shell: worn down, worn out, submissive, with hardly a trace of his former spirit...and finally showing his age lol.
I completely agree. I don't that ending as fluffy at all. Not that it would be better if they were all lovely dovely but I think a lot of people misunderstood what Harada wanted ending to be.
I'm so relieeeved this had a happy ending. I was so worried, I couldn't even enjoy the sex scenes lololol.
I can enjoy it more on the rereads (≧∀≦)
Right there with you...(－.－)
I feel so tired after reading this bc my heart is just now ready to calm down after the happy end...
I can't believe people can be so much alike! LOL! I had to go back and re-read the whole thing because on my first round, I was too tense waiting for the worst! Thank the yaoi gods for the happing ending...(〜￣△￣)〜
I admit, I came down here to make sure it was happy before I read it. >.> I'm glad I did (and, thus, glad I read it).
...every time someone trots out the extremely simplified "fiction is fiction and separate from real life" response to the recurrent issues in BL stories. Certainly, by 7th grade we were already taking a deeper look at fiction. Picking out themes, looking at how the writer's life influenced the story. etc Even the fairy tales!
Sorry teachers! LOL. Keep on fighting the good fight.
just need to point out that BL is different from the type of literature you're talking about. they don't teach BL in school so i beg to differ. indeed, fictional works are influenced by the author's life, but the context of what the translators' note pointed out is that real life morals do not apply to the BL world.
All creators have brains and personalities and (as far as I know) are human beings living on planet earth in human societies. Therefore it's pretty over-the-top ridiculous (and disturbing if you carefully consider your position, please do) to imply that BL mangakas are creating their stories in some kind of petri dish with no connection to themselves or the real world at all.
To break it down in its simplest form: this story has a college/university setting with the unrequited love trope. We *only* understand this because IRL we have...colleges and universities and we are emotionally developed enough to *understand* the concept of crushes and unrequited love. The characters display different moral understandings of what it means to be faithful to their feelings and honest with themselves--and the only way the writer could put that in and we understand it is because IRL *we* have similar thoughts. Obviously, characters and story are made up, hence fiction; and they things resolve according to certain conventions, hence BL.
Now, you can state that in certain fiction the writers create a different moral framework--but the only way we recognise that difference is by *comparing* it to ours in the real world. It is perfectly *valid* to question that choice, to reason about it. If JK Rowling had created a Harry Potter series in which Voldemort was supposed to be the hero with whom we identify, and Harry Potter the villain, it would be perfectly valid to question that choice, even if Rowling said, "Boo boo, your real life morals don't apply, nyaa." And that's a story about WIZARDS. BL features gay/bi/trans persons--all of whom exist!
Stories are stories are stories are stories. They may have different tropes and require different approaches but human creations are human creations. Whether it's fairy tales or BL comics they *all* reflect--to varying degrees--something about the creators, the readers and the social contexts from which they spring. To deny this is to deny their humanity and ours. Your position is, no doubt, precisely WHY so many LGBTQ person have a problem with yaoi--it's this reaaally over the top erasure of not only the group depicted (who exist IRL heeellloooo how do you even know what gay/bi/trans is otherwise) but the writers. It's icky, please stop lol.
Your lit teachers are giving you life skills, y'all. Plllleeease don't think the techniques learnt are only for "real literature" like Shakespeare and Kawabata Yasunari. (Obv you adjust where appropriate but the general approach holds.)
Having state all that, does this mean we are not allowed, or are somehow bad persons for liking fiction that doesn't have the right kind of morals, as we define it? No. Certainly, romance and erotica have a loooooooong history of exploring the dark and taboo.
For persons to discuss stuff. Persons find others who post about x all the time annoying. Persons find others going gushy over y all the time annoying. Neither group is more special than the other or deserves more space or ought to be shuttled off to a special section or *whatever*.
If everyone took their own advice about "ignoring anything you don't like to read" -- whether it's the manga or negative opinions -- apparently you'd be happier! But you all insist on reading whatever you like on this site meant for reading, sharing and discussion. It's like you're all persons and stuff who know how to use a website and have opinions.
My wish-upon-a-star is that persons would stop acting as if they're doing others a favour by doling out "advice" on what they should or not read or should or should not talk about here. It's not the positive/negative/in-between opinions that get to me, it's the policing. You're not moderators. If people wanna gush don't tell em to shut up or don't read it. If people wanna critique don't tell em to shut up or don't read it. Or maybe lead by example...? (It'll never happen, I know (￣∇￣").)
It's like you read my mind! You put it in words! I love your comment!
Yubin, sweetie, he's not gonna let you go, don't sweat it. You're worried for nothing lol.
What is joke to you is death to me. Dese people playing wid dem life lol.
Ugh, when I saw the "He quit?" I so hoped it was about stupid Logan.
