capncaviar's Manga

Left off at chapter 134 and damn if this wasn't good, the art style from the big smiles to sad faces everything is well emoted and the story is about actual gay dudes who accept that they are gay and want to just live in a society that may not accept them but they are trudging on through anyway. The familial dynamics are multifaceted with actual portrayals of familial homophobia and the effects it has on people, its not a usual "I'm straight but gay for you" plot because the family and friendship dynamics make this a masterpiece of characters discovering their own sexuality and the sometimes flimsy nature of the concept itself, finally, through this piece of media I feel represented in this genre. It does not back down from relationship dynamics and I just really appreciate this slice of fluffy angst to be grounded in the struggles of gay men in some societies. It also addresses familial pressure to continue the family which is important in today's climate because it really isn't addressed in other media that sometimes people may not want to get married or have children and that is perfectly okay. Many of our generation are reluctant to have children and feel the stares of our parents or grandparents who at the family gatherings ask when you'll finally settle down and have a nice little nuclear family and "finally be happy and start life" and when you say you do not want children ever, an aunt will give a "knowing side eye to maybe your mother or uncle and say "oh that'll change *snicker*" the younger generation is becoming more and more despondent with the want to have children as we realize it's not necessary to have a fulfilled relationship but often feel pressured by familial or societal pressure to conform to that "perfect familial unit", I'm rambling but this comic brings up very real societal issues that other contemporary works do not all while being cute and fluffy romance. 9 out of 10 and will definitely read all over again and can't wait to see what is next for the creator

really slow but cute
