Smartest bottom alive: "This guy is treating me like a manwhore, so lemme just go ahead and make sure he KNOWS I am one."
I don't know what's going on, man. So much of this world's lore and rules are info dumped, none of it is gonna stick that well between weekly updates especially the longer this comic goes on for. Such an easy writing crime to rectify as this is A VISUAL MEDIUM. sigh.
I just want to vent about a pet peeve of mine I've grown to have over the years of reading Shoujo romance. I am soooo bored of the "oh he's so cool, but I'm so boring" trope in these stories. There's so many interesting and nuanced takes that have been done even in just the past decade that whenever I come across this same old trope that was already tired out by the Y2K I can't even feel anything but disdain. The characters already feel like the defaults in a Shoujo romance character builder, down to hair color and all, that more of this same old-same old is tiring. I'll probably drop it at this point.
Not saying that anyone that likes it is wrong or has boring taste; I've just seen it too many times personally and I'm not the same girl I was when I first got into Shoujo manga, so goes to reason my taste evolved past these trodden paths.
Anyways I'm just yapping, tldr is I'm DNFing.
Is it me or does this latest chapter look like the budget ran out?
Honestly Elena annoys me. The way she blushes and gets flustered at every action of Vicente's and stops the damn plot every few panels to wonder if it's sincere --you know you ASKED him to pretend, right? I wouldn't mind her being confused about it if it didn't interfere with the pacing and we weren't let into her head every time it happened.
This damn fictional character has a grip on my heartstrings. Poor boys.
The amount of misunderstandings these two are piling up is truly rivaling most kdramas
First half of season 1 was pretty strong; interesting premise and lore; characters had good chemistry. Then we started losing the plot a lot to make room for more romantic shenanigans I guess, and by season 2 we had lost the plot completely. So much set up just to throw it away in half assed, rushed, barely realized conclusions in super rushed looking panels; the art quality took a massive dive latter half of season 2. Idk anything about how the artist was feeling or what happened, if it got cancelled and they had to rush it, but regardless, started out good and ended bad.
Someone explain to me what the hell that inner monologue meant. XD He talked in circles and I'm so lost. Does he think that Neuta likes him and is a pervert so he's mad that he's acting obtuse or hard to get or playing sly games or something? But that doesn't make any sense
I think yea, he does think neuta likes him butttt I guess hes mad that neuta is 'showing off' that he has other man(slave) to get his attention
From my interpretation, he thinks Neuta likes him and is trynna date him by showing off his "slaves" (his coworkers and friends) and making him jealous, jistar is mad because he IS jealous and doesn't realize it
He’s mad bc at this point Jigu still thinks that he doesn’t like Neuta so he hates how Neuta is trying to coax him into being in a bdsm relationship by showing him all his ‘slaves’ to his face when Jigu doesn’t want to take part in that kind of lifestyle at all (even tho we know that’s not the case with Neuta at all LOLL)
The way jigu is subconsciously convincing himself he likes that sort of lifestyle (through his dreams) even tho neuta is the exact opposite kind of person is killing me inside
XD That's so dumb but entertaining. Thanks for the explanations.
GODDAMN(づ￣ ³￣)づ...he's cute.
