I love how this mangaka draws facial expressions. I understand that Kameda was supposed to be the generic 'emotionless' kind of guy, but he still put on a few expressions that subtly let us, the readers, know what he was thinking. There are quite a lot of other manga that I've read, where either one- or all- character(s) in the story have a blank expression all the time, even if they feel very passionate about what they are doing. They're pretty much like, "I mean, I guess I like you or smth *drinks water*" all the time. A lot of mangaka also tend to keep their facial features constant, in a way that makes everyone look like emotionless robots without sentient thought. ANOTHER THING!! I hate how stilted characters' emotions can be! I love to find a story where I can't name 10 other stories that have the exact same plot line. UNIQUE OVER GENERIC FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I shall now recite 90% of every yaoi plot ever.
*coughs*
"One day(or night) Guy 1 meets Guy 2, somehow. Guy 1 is drawn to Guy 2 because of some sort of emotional connection, or maybe he just finds Guy 2 attractive. Guy 2 is probably drawn to Guy 1 as well. After a few meaningless activities together, Guy 1 and 2 make out. [Insert breakup of any characters/dude realizing he's destined to be with other dude/other things]"
Thanks for reading.
So I normally hate spiders, but...

this manga has very much flipped my perspective.
(I also love it bc: the fact that these two are totally not rape-y with each other is honestly such a rare theme that difficult to find in yaoi these days; *actual character development* -literally; AND THE ACTUAL CHARACTERS THEMSELVES OMGGGGG-->
I REALLY FUCKKKINNNNNG LOVE HAJI'S STYLE AND UGHHHH THESE CHARACTERS' PERSONALITIES ARE ON-POINTTTT(if that even is a thing)!!! I think that one of my main problems when reading yaoi is one of three things:
[also, 'char.' is short for character cuz i aint writing all that]
1) The art style sucks (it's either visually horrendous, or the style has no emotion- doesn't make you feel anything)+ story is shit (may include: bad plot development, rape-that-wants-to-make-itself-seme-consensual, bad relationships which involve a ton of 'development' built upon the fact that some mangaka like to incorporate misunderstanding into their work *inserts that 'LOVE FANTASY' clip from Saiki K*)
2) The art style is passable (maybe it makes you feel 'something' in like two separate panels throughout the manga, or just once every chapter throughout the manga, but for most of the story, you feel nothing) + story is alright (may include: minimal char. development, if any, or maybe the char's have a really tiny arc or smth but it doesn't disrupt the story at all, which is what a freaking arc is for gods sake; "love makes you do crazy things~"- idk what that means, but i'll leave it up for interpretation i guess; SEX IS EXCUSED FOR BEING RAPEY BC THESE IDIOTS STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT 'NO' MEANS; hahaha i dont know what im still doing here)
3) THE ART IS P GREAT(you can feel what the characters are feeling through a single frame, or the style brings a lot of 'motion' to the story) + story is unique and the mangaka really knows how to write a story, no matter what the plot is (may include: emotional moments around pretty much every corner; there doesn't always have to be development, but if there is, it's consistent and reincorporated throughout the manga, and every character either acknowledges the development in some way or problems are built upon and solved by it; "NO I DONT WANT TO">>"Well, okay">>[later, when both parties appreciate the other's company as a human being and not a way to just have sex and move on:] "Hey, do you want to?">>"Sure. Also, I love you as a person, and not as a physical being to release my frustrations.">>"I love you too."; And if the characters *do* have non-consensual sex, they don't just move on, but they instead recognize that both parties have actual emotions, and the emotions can be molded into something greater.)
Sorry that was so long, I had to really get my feelings out somewhere ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
If you read this far, thx, and follow me on the Yaoi Worshippers Amino i guess: @legiteros
I love you all and I hope you're all having a good summer- even if it is just lying in bed reading yaoi and eating chips (⌒▽⌒)
I got Vietnam flashback the second I started reading, y'all
There was this really weird manga where this guy(Dudebro1) who loves sweets has to go to the dentist; like, turns out that the guy(Homoman1) who works at the pastry shop Dudebro1 goes to, apparently Homoman likes him? At the end, Homoman and Dentistdude1 fight(off-screen, bovi) and Dentistdude1 wins. Forgot name.
Dudebro 1
