Haha I just read the comments below - and I'm freaking dying from laughter seeing that it's not only me who thought there is something wrong with Meili's mental health
Especially likes "borderline retarded" - it's funny and spot on
Btw Meili's smile on the last page of chapter 8 lifted heavy weight of my shoulders - finally he started to behave a bit normal!
nah you're not only one lol meili's delayed for real :/
the*
He's like a boi Fabianne, can't deny his charm.
I think Madame Manga tried to hard to make him cute and innocent....
No offence to those who likes this manhwa (I hope I'm gonna like it too), but there are just to many annoying moments in it
The biggest of all of them: is Meili mentally impaired or something? His speech is very limited, the range of emotions almost non-existent, and he always has this look with the mouth shaped like "O" - everything seems off, he doesn't look like normal 20 years old
Don't wanna mention 8 pack with additional features of professional bodybuilder of blonde guy...
This is an impression after reading 4 chapters, I honestly hope it gets better
He is just surprised.... Like those dolls for lonely man....
This manga is realistic, with seemingly happy end.
And yet, it left me anxious for both characters in it.
This isn't a typical yaoi love tale - it is a story about conflict inside the characters, their confusion and uncertainty.
Maybe it's because of cross dressing I feel so uneasy after reading this manga.
It's just feels like Yashiro is in the very vulnerable position, and he might be needing rather some time to decide by himself about his sexuality and cross dressing preferences.
Momose is just as conflicted - it is difficult to understand him and his reasons. Although mangaka shows us some of his thoughts but the whole picture of his feelings (love?) is still unclear.
It would definitely help to see an acceptance of Yashiro by Momose by meeting each other without cross dressing. After all it's not like Yashiro is uncomfortable being a guy, he just likes to wear women clothes (and the reasons for that might be that he want to be considered cute, pretty and attractive by men). Therefore it would be painful to be in a relationship which is conditional on the cross dressing.
Sorry for such a long post - this manga stirred me up like nothing before
I totally get your point. I had the same uneasiness in my memories of this tory, so I just reread it and I realized that it actually does solve these issues, in a rather subtle manner.
Well first, there is the fact that the first line of the whole story tells us that the first time he saw Yashiro cross-dressing Momose instantly recognized he was a man, which makes me believe that he never denies Yashiro's masculinity.
I feel that the final chapter is what's most revealing. Instead of having the obligatory "penetrative sex after they make up" scene Yashiro asks Momose to tell him he is cute (because he does want to be considered attractive by men) and then he asks him to touch him, which, in my opinion, serves to reaffirm his masculinity at a moment where them having pentrative sex would have simply feminized him. It does end with them sharing Yashiro's masculine fluids through hand-holding.
Also, when they do have sex in the bonus track and the movie special chapter (6.5 and 6.6) Yashiro is never cross-dressing.
I feel like Hideyoshiko has a real talent for writing simple stories with many layers of psychology to anlayse (when she's not purposefully delivering perplexing wacky material like Gakuen Tengoku).
This manhwa has been the most erotic and in the way the most touching manhwa that I have read.
I will definitely read it again later!
I am thankful to mangaka who could incorporate strong emotions in the work which looks a lot like pwp
And Ginu and Yubin both are so adorable, I'd love to see more of them!
Looks like it will not happen,and it makes me sad, but in the same time I feel light and happy for such a pure and fluffy ending
For some reason I can't hate Minsuk's ex boyfriend
Just can't, I feel like he tried in his own way to make these relationships work
He is not a bad person, they are just not meant for each other
Your right. He did have his own way of doing things. And sure maybe there would be someone that would love to be a trophy Husband. But that wasn't what Minsuk wanted at all. He wanted to be equals. At least that's what I got from it.
Misaki's sisters are drawn so beautifully and with great attention to detail.
Which especially unusual for yaoi genre that tends to overlook female characters
Oh, and non-homo milk is funny ))
What is the hell happening?!
Hope he just wants closure and make sure that purple haired guy doesn't actually like him "in that way"
This is the first manhwa where I like female character more than all male characters!
