Living for Mr. Gang's Delulu
they both are so delusional i can’t handldjfkcjvkjcj
I love how as the story progresses the fluffier their hair gets hahahahha
Good lird not the dick jumpscare.
I was reading this in public and I have never turned off my phone this fast
Oh nauuurrrrrr
A light saber would have been safe for public consumption
Same dude same
My god Hemilia's (pink haired girl) arc is just so ICK. It was all fun and games in the begining and we all laughed at the yandere jokes. But now....
Yeah that prince is so obnoxious.
UGHHH right???? The fact that he's escalating to possible DV from all the coercion & SA is just....
Yoo knows what he's doing. Lures them in with sex and now he's taking them on dates. Good for him. And now they're a cute happy trio.
It's just the art style but my god did he get smaller with all that activity?
If I were to compare this to Titan's Bride.... This one is quite lack luster especially in terms of plot and the romance, they go through tropes and plot points so fast. I'm getting whiplash. The art and the smut is nice. But it got repetitive. Introducing possible 2nd ML (Diluc/Dolga), some conflict (kidnapping mostly), almost assult(Diluc)/romance(Dolga) that makes the ML Varuna jealous, they fuck(and it's the same song&dance), some big declaration of love and devotion from either Varuna or Rintaro.
I wish with the serialisation of the manga, the author could have taken the time to develop Varuna and Rinataro's emotional connection beyond being a fated pair and "sex is good". Especially on Rinataro's side.
The plot where he got taken back to his world was so disappointing. We could have gotten a bigger insight on who Rintaro is through friends and family, what makes him want/NEED to go back to Varuna's world, aside from "sex is good" and how much time has passed between the 2 worlds. I found it ridiculous they had to go to a shed at the back of the library to talk, just so the author can make them fuck in this world. Why couldn't we go back to Rintaro 's old home (if he still has it) or to make it kinky why not in an unused bathroom where there's a mirror....
The story could have been so much better or it just should have ended at ch7. the pacing then would've made so much more sense and less forced.
I wanna applaud the author for mentioning the importance of safewords especially in extreme S&M play.
I've always heard of sub space, the euphoric trancelike state submissives get into that can significantly affect the submissive’s ability to communicate and interpret their limits. So it wild that Koto got into something similar ("Dom space
I find it soooo bittersweet that it took a near death and a disability for shiro to quit the sex industry. I kinda get it tho... He can't give up the place because of memories and his childhood. That's on the trauma
but like...I guess the area is a busy commercial area which is is such a shame to sell. Must have been a hassle to change the business name under Google Maps.
God is such an interesting trope to tackle and I appreciate how the author handled both stories.
The first story is about the dangerous of falling into the hands of a cult and how it can prey on the vulnerable. It's also fascinating to think how Lief has always been brought up in a cult setting all his life always in search for some kind of happiness and meaning to his suffering vs Ross who probably led a shitty life, did drugs yet found Catholicism and chose to be come a priest.
There's also this hidden argument there that technically every religion is a cult but why are the larger scale organized religion is considered a religion, yknow? But so glad that the author decided not to explore that cause whewwww. We would have been volumes deep I've read their other works, they like to open up debate. And I quite like how short and neat the story ended.
I'm also just soooo relieved that Lief is able to distinguish his romantic feelings from religious devotion. I feel like he almost did (tattoo) but thank fucking god Ross shot that down and it probably made Lief ponder about it. Hahahah
2nd story is just a fun supernatural take on god and the miracles they can perform. I like how the god didn't take just one single form and took from people in the character's life (good and bad).
If you squint... There's like a "love is more powerful force" theme in both stories. considering 'god' appeared to the Ross and Lief as a heart shaped tentacle monster. While, Miki and Hana literally won the bet and got together because they love each other. haha
WAHHH you resumed everything so perfectly and I have the same understanding as you! If you now any other stories like this, care to recommend me?
I unfortunately haven't read/found similar manga to this. With heavy themes of love and religion or think pieces in general. I tend to read silly romances more because I wanna turn off my brain after a long day
But you should definitely check out the author's other works!!!
Sleeping Dead - has a lot of body & psychological horror, but later it's heavy on existential themes and deals with the question "what would you do inorder to survive?" Its low-key Frankenstein's monster if they were buddy cop duo in a situationship

Deen My Love - TW: sexual violence, extreme sadism. But it explores fetishes and the shame/self hatred that comes with it. if its curable through therapy?

And just because they have same dark vibes, may I suggest:
The One with in the Villainess
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_one_within_the_villainess/
Thank you very much! I will read them without further ado!
I clicked on the manga expecting a fun time reading a nuance heavily queer coded "BL" with a GNC top/seme but my goooddd the 1st translators sooo did not pass the vibe check.
they legit make me wanna choke them out one by one. way to ruin the experience of reading a good story by leaving ugly stupid disgusting caricatures on every single chapter.
Right???? Their comments are so unnecessary and dehumanizing. I do hope this gets picked up by someone else. I still have high hopes for the OG story. But man they really ruined it.
