now that i just learnt the author actually drew the teacher x hirose tgt as a ship im actually at a loss for words, i dont think anything could describe how disappointed i am. if she made it clear from the start it was teacher x student, ok wtv, not my cup of tea i probably wouldn't have read.
but it's the way she genuinely misled us into thinking this would be wholesome this entire time (and it was wholesome in vol 1), but now all of us are hit with this groomer bs ?? like yes, wtv it's her story she can do what she wants but she surely should have been aware how so many of us who were fans and really enjoyed it would feel about this. like i swear NONE of us were here to see a teacher-student relationship.
Where did you get that hirose and the teacher are a "ship" (I'm assuming you meant couple)?? I can see the interpretation of hirose having a crush on his teacher, but I don't see how the teacher has acted weird towards hirose except maybe the one ride home he gave him
hi!! i meant the twitter post not in the manga sorry i wasn't clear. that's what i meant by "drew [...] tgt as a ship" https://x.com/iimawa21/status/1848192493244019106
i'm hoping that perhaps it's just non-canon art by the author but it's just not looking that great.
i completely had the same perspective as you too so i understand, it's just that after i saw the ship art i was like "wtf" ykwim? like i genuinely thought people were kind of overreacting from the manga, bc i thought it was just an unrequited love with some questionable acts by the teacher (e.g. the 'if you were a girl' flirting) and then i realised why after i saw the tweet
Okay thay is. Weird. For sure. But I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be non-canon? Like, it's hard to say much of anything when these are presented out of context (not that the context would make 'em less weird, but at least we'd know what led to these...) but I think Syundei knows well enough not to draw something this problematic in her most popular manga. My best bet for this is she started this weird thing between hirose and the teacher in the manga out of plot reasons (giving hirose a male crush just to state he's into dudes) but then uh, got sidetracked on her free time. Yikes. But I'm still pretty hopeful about this not becoming canon.
(If it does, I'll probably just try to forget this manga ever existed )
And honestly I see a lot of people point that scene ("if you were a girl") as flirting but I just saw it as more a joke?? Since what hirose said was a pretty tropey, shoujo protagonist line.
My biggest gripe with him is the ride he gave hirose + exchanging numbers like they're just good ol' pals...?? Bc there's certainly a line there somewhere that otogiri is ignoring, which, yk, doesn't say the nicest of things about him...
yeah i have the exact same view on this. i'm honestly just not sure what to expect now. i don't have a problem with hirose having an unrequited love, i think it's a fine plot point, but if she actually ends up making them get together i will be so upset.
oh yeah i agree with you for sure sorry, it's just that part was on my mind the most because i just can't imagine a teacher making that kind of joke to a student. but definitely, the car and number thing was definitely the most suspicious. at my high school i remember it was literally prohibited for teachers to give the students their phone number so i found that weird too
just reread after 3 years, and i really wish i didn't. wtf was that im actually so upset and disappointed i remembered this being super cute but that was definitely just the first volume and i completely evicted what happened in this one from my brain...
im so sad bc i loved the teacher so much in vol 1 and now he comes off kind of creepy :(( i know it's definitely more of a one-sided love from hirose's side but some of the dialogue from the teacher in this sequel just are so suspicious. i want to pretend these two volumes aren't actually connected bc im so sad about what it had become
ok i think i might just end it all i've marinated this for 3 fucking years only to be left on another cliffhanger END ME
there's more chapters here https://mangatoto.com/title/132598-minato-shouji-coin-laundry-official
i love you sm kind individual (づ￣ ³￣)づ
TYSM OMG
Is it completed?
no it's still ongoing with 6 volumes
How often does it get relaesed? do you know ?
Volume 5 for the English official was recently released this year on April 22nd, so I'd say volume 6 will either get released closer to the end of this year or early next year. Last year we got Vol 2-4. I'd recommend just checking out Yenpress' social medias to stay updated since they post pretty regularly about what manga's and comics are being released for both Physical and Digital https://yenpress.com/titles/9781975365240-minato-s-laundromat-vol-1
this is a reupload of Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai, which has 18 chapters already, be sure u read it there instead !!
should i watch the anime before the manga, after the manga, or not watch and only read the manga?
I watched the anime and then read the manga and tbh you can do either one I think reading the manga might be better tho
ok thanks so much!
stories like this make me regret my high school years so much hahah but goddamn i love them so much. 3rd time reading and i will be back again
what if shiomi x tomoe??? quite random but i rlly love shiomi's design i need him in a spin off and im curious abt tomoe bc he's most likely a switch who has been suppressing his sub side. if shiomi was "normal" (which im pre sure he is), a normal x switch dynamic would be very interesting imo but shiomi as a dom would be so good too.
before i start to read, has the end game been confirmed or anything yet?? i really want uesugi to end up w eito!! this is just based off their designs but omg they would look adorablee tgt
Im pretty sure eito is the endgame cuz uesugi is starting to like him u know
+the girl isnt even trying to be more than friends w him
thanks so much!!
what did i just read that seme is evidently mentally unwell but this is just never touched upon? the mania, obsession, extreme mood swings, abandonment issues, and the list goes on. help why was that so overwhelming and it was literally like 3 chapters. this shit got me STRESSED lmao but maybe im just overreacting ??? like, am i crazy or does he legit have bpd
the problem with the uke is NOT the fact that he's a prostitute, it's the fact he keeps taking advantage of the seme's feelings for him, teasing him abt it, inviting him to sex, and then when the seme shows interest in him as a person he gets all pissed off. the uke also never listens to the seme's pleas to stop. i really believe the seme deserved better as he showed nothing but love, kindness and respect towards him this entire time.
