Daniel is kinda...refreshing. He's a complete asshole but he's honest about it. Logan's also surprisingly mentally stronger than he looks. They're a good match for each other in a twisted way.
For everyone afraid that this will have a bad ending, or don't sense any feelings from Tamaki towards Shii...remember this manga only has one volume so far. There is a lot more room for the author to show progress. In the author's other manga series, romantic feelings did not develop until the second volume. The protagonist's past traumas were also not revealed and solved until the later part of the series.
Likewise, I'm sure the author will address Tamaki's trauma again, otherwise I don't see the purpose of them focusing so much screen time on it thus far. If anything, I think Shii's persistence/feelings will help Tamaki resolve his misunderstandings about love and relationships. Besides...why else would Tamaki give a one year allowance for Shii to win him over, if the author didn't plan for some results in the end?
Contrary to what people have been saying, I've got a good feeling about the ending.
Honestly I agree so much on this but we also have to take into consideration that the source of the problem is the moms mental state on love and getting approval and attention from people which most likely the disorder was developed from being a teen mom and getting outcasted from society cuz that’s a big thing that looked is down on in Asian culture so to be able to fix the kids problem he has to realize that the mom needs help
Literally what hasn't He Tian done for Mo at this point? He offered to help Mo get a job, tried to take him on dates several times, protected him from She Li twice, bought him ear studs, and now he's learning to play the guitar JUST to teach Mo. PLEASE, for the love of god show this man some affection (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
This was so unexpectedly good?! It was fucking hilarious, cute, had great character development, not to mention the storyline is unique. Really happy I gave this a try!
The author really said YEET with that last panel smh
RIGHT!? I thought this was another extra but bitch said you thought with that last panel omg.
Jian Yi freaking out over the private island as if his dad isn't rich AF too ╮(￣▽￣)╭
As if his dad isn’t the one paying him enough to HAVE that private island lmao
don't forget that He tian and Cheng's father is rich too so He cheng is originally wealthy adding his salary from working under Jian yi's father he is so damn rich lololo
She Li seems like a real d*ckhead right now, but I hope everyone gives him a chance. After all, even Mo was first introduced as a mean punk who attacked Xixi and Jian Yi with a rock. Yet now, Mo is everyone's favorite little cinnamon bun ╮(￣▽￣)╭ Let's have trust in Old Xian's character development skills!
The author said By My Side will continue on September 20th, 2019...it was originally May 24 but was postponed. Let's wait patiently everyone :)
Be patient...Be patient....! Nooo it’s impossible! But for the sake of the author and the manga, I will be patient even if it is and will be hard! I will try!
Thank you so much!!!
I really love this one!
i really wish nd pray ur words come true i have been waiting for so long for an update
OMG GUYS I JUST NOTICED -- remember how Jian Yi has a habit when he was younger, of touching Xixi's ear when he sleeps? He still does it on page 8 when they sleep together! He's so soft, my baby ╥﹏╥
GOOD EYE! I didn't notice.
yeah! when I read this I was like "eeee!!!! wait a second"... second look on page... I know I saw something important and "owwwww" there was that think between them! sweet ( T﹏T )
amen. jian yi is a precious blonde jelly bean.
For people who think this was "rapey":
What Tamaki and Shii made was basically a contract. The whole point of their sexual relationship is to MAKE it seem like Shii is forcing himself onto Tamaki. That way, Tamaki does not feel guilty about having sex because it would technically be Shii's fault. Tamaki is agreeing to letting Shii be the "bad guy."
Tamaki at one point even says he does not want Shii to ask for permission...because that's the point of their new agreement...
I understand some asexual people and those that have had traumatizing sexual experiences, are not happy with the way the author portrayed this situation. But please remember that you are not Tamaki. The author is not trying to cater this to everyone's experience of trauma. She is just showing how HER character is using his own method to overcome trauma.
It's fine if you personally would've taken a different route, but not everyone is the same and it's ridiculous to expect Tamaki to feel the same way you do about his own sexuality.
yes tea. there is more than one way to overcome trauma, and i think the author is doing a beautiful job showing that. as someone who has experienced trauma similar to tamaki, it is incredibly beneficial to have a s/o take the guilt out of the equation.
awesome to hear that you related in some sense :)! i have related trauma myself, and while i haven't resolved it, i find the author's approach to trauma to be very interesting too!
