My parents are 16 years apart, too. It's literally fine, they don't have an unhealthy power dynamic at all.
I get why people are worried about age gaps because of their potential for manipulation, but as long as both are consenting adults with enough psychological maturity to know what they're doing and create a healthy relationship it's totally fine
I wish there was more of the second story! That was so up my alley, old man yaoi for the win
I haven't started this but the art looks like The Ghost's Nocturne so I was considering it but the comments all say the story is bad
lol wait I just realised it's the same author lmao of course it's the same style
I think my autistic self's social skills aren't good enough to understand how Tanaka-san was so bad when he said he'd support them and that he's not prejudiced? Is it because he put them in a difficult position especially when they weren't clear about their feelings with each other yet and not in a stable relationship? But to me that doesn't mean he's prejudiced, just a bit insensitive?
Hey so ive been dreading reading this for so long and saw your comment on the main page and decided to read it just so i (also autistic) could understand what you were talking abt lmao
Anyways so I think it was bc how insensitive he was in general. So people can be "allies" and think bc they support a community they aren't prejudiced however this excessive support can be more prejudiced than other behaviors
In the case of autism image those people who try to advocate for you when you didn't asked them to and in their attempt they lowkey portrayed you as an infant. Even if they have good intentions they're making things worse. Now going back to the story, Tanaka was being tone deaf, saying he support them yet calling them out in the middle of the street not taking into consideration his surroundings but also not considering how they would feel abt it
Being gay in conservative societies like japan can be horrifying, and most feel ashamed of being who they're so from their perspective it's kinda like getting caught stealing and someone would yell "oh you're stealing bc you need it and can afford it?? I won't tell bc I support that"
(Srry if my comparisons don't make sense, I tried )
Oooh that makes sense. I've been lucky not to be in that situation as an autistic person before but one time my mom made me come out to her because she saw a post I made on tumblr about going to an LGBT event and she wanted me to tell her I'm bi, and she said I didn't need to hide it because she's not against it. It's like that? I didn't connect it before but that makes sense. How come you were dreading reading this one? I quite liked it
Yesss it's exactly it.
Abt dreading reading this, I knew it would be good since I know this author's work but I have been in a reading slump for a while and anything that's on my want to read list feels like a full time commitment hahs I'm glad I read it in the end since it was rlly nice, loved that MC collects bird plushies
Perfect explanation!!! ╮(￣▽￣)╭
It's giving Old Fashioned Cupcake vibes and I'm loving it!
And who am I to yuck his yum, if he's happy being stalked, fed, watered and fucked by someone he (at first) doesn't know or recognise, that's his prerogative lol. I wonder if anyone would still read this if the stalker was unattractive (probably not) (but whatever, it's just a manga)
this manga is almost as old as I am and still ongoing. That's just wild to me. I hope it will wrap up before I die though lol, or else this might be a manga for a whole lifetime
HAHAHAHA
aww, so since it's not being scanlated anymore there won't be de-censored chapters anymore? that's a shame, lightsabers it is from now on ig
