Can anyone recommend something like ’Projection’ where there is NOT a romantic plot between the main characters? Like something where the older one has gone through trauma but is more powerful now and saves someone younger and they both heal? Or if they’re similar age and become friends because one of them stands up against the other one’s bullies (and they’re strong/powerful so you know there’s no risk of them getting beat up back), just satisfying and no anxiety.
Jujutsu Kaisen.
Isnt projection aiming for romance tho? I wish it wasnt but i heard so
Yes it is. The mc who is saved reminds the other mc of his sister. The ’savior’ is also older and kinda becomes like a parent figure. I heard there is a time skip cooling up but I would really prefer the dynamic without the romance.
Me too they are too much of father and son to make it romantic at this point
Looking for a manga (webtoon?) where the MC is getting old (like 60+) and I think he has dementia. When he was younger he met a boy the same age who traveled a lot. That boy was murdered and now when he’s close to dying he discovered he can write in his journal and communicate with this past self so he tried to prevent the murder for happening. The POV switched between the past and the present where another childhood friend checks up on him but think he’s going crazy as their view of the past is different. I think the boy who got murdere was named “jihoon” or something similar and that the genre was shonen ai. the story gets quite dark, hence why I droooed it, but now I’m curious to how it turned out.
Of course, it's Boy to Boy !! :-)
Tysm!!! <3
I was gonna drop this at ch. 27 when their guardian/child dynamic got to weird but I kept reading it because I hoped it would get better since it had 67 chapters and a 9.0 rating. Their relationship changed for the worse and was a never-ending cycle of the MC threatening to k himself and the ML feeling guilty. It ended with hMC stabbing ML because of a misunderstanding and the mystery/crime theme was honestly the only interesting thing going on. Now there’s a years long time skip and MC is holding him hostage and forcing himself on ML. The concept of ”it’s not r*pe if the other person gets aroused” is disgusting to me. There are plenty of good psychological mangas with ”mind-games” and arguable toxic relationships thats challenging the morally gray theme, this is just sexual violence and there’s no silver lining/deeper mening.
